The Onsager relations are discussed, suggesting that they should be interpreted in a frame of reference where all transport processes are independent. The concepts are illustrated using isobarothermal diffusion in both simple metallic phases and complex ionic systems. The transformation from a lattice-fixed frame of reference to a number-fixed frame is shown to result in the Kirkendall effect as a cross effect.
