In a system without source (isolated system) shown that it holds theorem of Prigogine, and in a system with sources (open system) implementation of the principle of Ziegler (MEPP) depends on the relaxation direction. In an open system entropy production is compensate by a negative production of entropy, i.e. by a negentropy production. The algebraic sum of entropy and negentropy productions is called the generalized entropy production. From the balance of entropy and negentropy productions in an open system formulated a possible variation of the second law for open systems in a form: \"At the relaxation of an open system to a nonequilibrium steady state, a generalized entropy production decreases in absolute value and equal to zero in a nonequilibrium steady state.\" Keywords: Fokker-Planck equation, Prigogine theorem, principle of maximum entropy production, the second law, negentropy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-03T11:27:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "second law", "rayleigh gas", "negentropy production", "nonequilibrium steady state", "open system entropy production" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
