In the framework of irreversible thermodynamics, we studied the transport properties of QGP. Shear viscosity and non-equilibrium entropy density related to viscous process at finite density has been investigated in weakly coupled limit by using kinetic theory. The results show that the chemical potential increases viscosityyet decreases the non-equilibrium entropy density and thus contributes positively to their ratio compared to the pure temperature case. As to the temperature dependence of the ratio, the ratio first decreases rapidly and then increases in the physical region, presenting a minimum value of 0.4 at the temperature around 182MeV.
