Abstract
The study of fluctuations is an integral part of the analysis of nonlinear phenomena in far from equilibrium conditions [1–3]. In this respect, systems undergoing chemical reations and transport phenomena have been among the most privileged examples on which new ideas and new techniques have been tested. So far however, practically all the results obtained are limited to the behavior of the composition variables. It is the purpose of the present communication to outline an extension of the theory of fluctuations which includes energy and temperature fluctuations as well.
