Dynamic process modeling by the mean of Equivalent Gibbs systems is described here. It allows to model a large number of processes and only requires standard engineering knowledge. This method is issued from thermodynamics of irreversible processes, initiated by I. Prigogine, but applied here to process engineering. First, an Equivalent Gibbs System (EGS) is defined for each component involved in the process. In such system, mass, energy and entropy are linked through Gibbs equation and entropy production can easily be expressed according to fluxes and their related forces. Assuming linear phenomenological laws, phenomenological coefficients can be calculated from common engineering correlations, or evaluated from technical data if available. As an example, a conventional vapor compression chiller is simulated. Three control modes are analyzed on an exergy basis: on/off control with constant or floating condensing pressure, PID control with variable compressor speed.

Bulk kinematic properties of mixtures such as velocity are known to be the density weighed averages of the constituent velocities. No such paradigm exists for the heat flux of mixtures when the constituents have different temperatures. Using standard principles such as frame indifference, we address this topic by developing linear constitutive equations for the constituent heat fluxes, the interaction force between constituents, and the stresses for a mixture of two fluids. Although these equations contain 18 phenomenological coefficients, we are able to use the Clausius-Duhem inequality to obtain inequalities involving the principal and cross flux coefficients. The theory is applied to some special cases and shown to reduce to standard results when the constituents have the same temperature.
