Comments on Thermodiffusion: The physico-chemical mechanics view. J. Chem. Phys. 154, 024112 (2021)
Abstract
In a series of publications, Kocherginsky and Gruebele presented a systematic framework for chemical transport and thermodiffusion to predict the Soret coefficients from thermodynamics. A macroscopic derivation of the Onsager reciprocal relations without recourse to microscopic fluctuations or equations of motion was also discussed. Their important contributions and some confusions are discussed.
