FLUX OPERATORS OF MICRODYNAMICAL QUANTITIES IN A NONEQUILIBRIUM STATISTICAL ENSEMBLE FORMALISM

It is shown how the closure condition for the set of kinetic equations in Zubarev's Nonequilibrium Statistical Operator Method introduces a series of fluxes of a reference set of densities. These fluxes are the average values, over a Gibbs-like nonequilibrium generalized grand-ca nonical ensemble, of Hermitian operators for fluxes defined at the mic roscopic-mechanical level. The equations of evolution for these fluxes (or equivalently for their conjugated Lagrange multipliers) are descr ibed.
