"Carrier" theory and thermodynamics of irreversible processes.
A theory of transport via a "carrier" based on Wyman's theory on multiple equilibria is presented. By taking into account the detailed balance principle, it is possible to simplify the flux expressions and their coupling coefficients. In this way, Onsager's rules are derived. An experimental approach to the model is proposed.
