The Gouy-Stodola theorem as a variational principle for open systems
The variational method is very important in mathematical and theoretical physics because it allows us to describe the natural systems by physical quantities independently from the frame of reference. A global and statistical approach is introduced starting from irreversible thermodynamics to obtain...
