Nonequilibrium thermodynamics (NET) investigates processes in systems out ofglobal equilibrium. On a mesoscopic level, it provides a statistical dynamicdescription of various complex phenomena such as chemical reactions, iontransport, diffusion, thermochemical, thermomechanical and mechanochemicalfluxes. In the present review, we introduce a mesoscopic stochastic formulationof NET by analyzing entropy production in several simple examples. Thefundamental role of nonequilibrium steady-state cycle kinetics is emphasized.The statistical mechanics of Onsager's reciprocal relations in this context iselucidated. Chemomechanical, thermomechanical, and enzyme-catalyzedthermochemical energy transduction processes are discussed. It is argued thatmesoscopic stochastic NET provides a rigorous mathematical basis of fundamentalconcepts needed for understanding complex processes in chemistry, physics andbiology, and which is also relevant for nanoscale technological advances.
