Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to provide a microscopic interpretation of extended irreversible thermodynamics by means of the kinetic theory of gases. The interface between the macroscopic description and the kinetic theory is shown to be much wider in EIT than in the classical theory. As a consequence, the comparison provides more information in the extended case than in the classical situation.
