Abstract
A generalized thermodynamic theory is presented which may be applied to microrheological models. The purpose of this theory is to offer a simple framework for many types of modelling at various levels of description.
The essential elements of our approach are: a specification of the subsystem in which the reversible storage of energy takes place, the way of coupling of this subsystem to the environment and a proper definition of reversible and irreversible variables. The resulting set of equations, containing a stress tensor expression a microscopic evolution equation and a microscopic equation of state are expressed in a matrix form.
Some applications of the theory to well known micro-rheological models are discussed and directions for further developments are indicated.
