The Maximum Entropy Rate Description of a Thermodynamic System in a Stationary Non-Equilibrium State

In this paper we present a simple model to describe a rather general system in a stationary non-equilibrium state, which is an open system traversed by a stationary flux. The probabilistic description is provided by a non-homogeneous Markov chain, which is not assumed on the basis of a model of the...
