energy causing an increase in entropy. However, conservative fields associated with potential energy gradients of the system … act in opposition to the kinetic energy gradients reducing the overall accessible states of the system and its entropy …. Thus, entropy can be expressed as the ratio of difference between the input energy and potential energy of the system to …

The Clausian introduction of entropy is based on an unnecessary restriction, namely that diminishing circle integral … leads to a unique state variable. Eliminating that restriction a family of entropy-like function is introduced. After we … have chosen one, called extropy, which has better properties as the well known entropy. …

One of the most fundamental laws of Nature is formulated by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. At present, in its usual … formulation the central concept is entropy characterized in terms of equilibrium state variables. We point out that because … thermodynamic changes arise when systems are out of equilibrium and because entropy is not a natural state variable characterizing …
