Additional information
It is shown that the well-known minimum entropy production theorem is not consistent with the conservation equations of continuum mechanics, with the flaw in the general proof identified and illustrated with examples. The work was presented in a keynote lecture at the the International Forum on Frontier Theories of Thermal Science, Beijing, China, 2011 (evidence file Bertola4-1.pdf).
