Abstract
Two examples, heat conduction in wires and the Poiseuille flow of a gas through a capillary tube, are used to show that the presence or absence of higher order symmetry relations among the phenomenological coefficients can depend on the choice of boundary conditions. A family of thermokinetic potentials is developed for each example, and the over‐all utility of the thermokinetic potential concept is discussed.Keywords
