On the derivation of linear irreversible thermodynamics for classical fluids.
We consider the microscopic derivation of the linearized hydrodynamic equations for an arbitrary simple fluid. Our discussion is based on the concept of hydrodynamical modes, and use is made of the ideas and methods of the theory of subdynamics. We also show that this analysis leads to the Gibbs relation for the entropy of the system.
