On the Transition of a Non-Equilibrium System to an Equilibrium System

E. G. D. Cohen

Published 2015-03-27Version 1

It is shown that the most important feature of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics is not the entropy production, but the organization of the currents in order to flow. This is also needed to obtain the maximum entropy in the equilibrium state, as is required by Equilibrium Thermodynamics.
