Abstract:
It is essential to note that nonlinear thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes critically change the status of the second law of thermodynamics. It appears that in open systems that are far from equilibrium, this law determines not only the inevitability of the destruction of equilibrium ordered structures but also the possibility of the creation of new nonequilibrium but ordered structures. While representing the irreversibility of all real processes, the second law of thermodynamics stands for the law of material evolution. A typical problem in thermodynamics of systems that are far from their equilibrium is the analysis of the stability of stationary states of the system. Thermodynamic criteria of the stability of stationary states are found the same way as for systems that are far from and close to thermodynamic equilibrium: by analyzing signs of thermodynamic fluxes and forces arising upon infinitesimal deviation of the system from the inspected stationary state. If the system is in the stable stationary state, then any infinitesimal deviation from this state must induce the forces that push it to return to the initial position.
