On the misuse of Prigogine's Global Formulation of the Second Law and the Prediction of Negative Entropy Production in Macroscopic Irreversible Processes
This article presents thermodynamic and statistical mechanics arguments to proof the impossibility of a proposal1 in which the interplay of production and destruction entropy processes would explain why it is possible to do work more efficiently in an irreversible process than in a reversible one be...
