Abstract

Following the proposal of steady state thermodynamics (SST) by Oono and Paniconi, we develop a phenomenological theory for steady nonequilibrium states in systems with heat conduction. We find that there is essentially a unique consistent thermodynamics, and make concrete predictions, i.e, the existence of a new osmotic pressure and a shift in the coexistence temperature. These predictions allow one to test for the quantitative validity of SST by comparing them with experiments.
