Abstract
Diffusion is a ubiquitous physical phenomenon where thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects (TNEs) are outstanding issues. In this work, we employ the discrete Boltzmann method to investigate the TNEs in the dynamic process of binary diffusion. The main features of the distribution function in velocity space are recovered and discussed. It is found that, with the decreasing gradients of macroscopic quantities (such as density, concentration, velocity, etc.), both the local and global TNEs decrease with the time but increase with the relaxation time in a power law, respectively
