In this short lecture, I will introduce thermodynamics of irreversible processes, which is a general method to derive the equation of motion for macroscopic systems (or low-energy effective theory from a field theoretical viewpoint) respecting the second law of thermodynamics. After explaining the classical application to charge diffusion, I will cover its modern application to relativistic systems with quantum anomaly. In particular, I will give a phenomenological derivation of the nondissipative transport phenomena, called the chiral magnetic effect and chiral vortical effect, induced by underlying chiral anomaly.
