Abstract

Analysis of observed distributions of water adsorbed by compacted MX-80 bentonite in the presence of temperature gradients according to methods of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes indicates the possibility of coupling among fluxes of heat and mass. Additional experiments are suggested to confirm the existence of coupling.
