Abstract
Two expressions for the entropy production of a system arbitrarily far from equilibrium are considered for a stochastic model. The two expressions result from the consideration of two different definitions of the nonequilibrium entropy: the Gibbs form and the generalized form suggested by the Brussels–Austin group. The entropy principle is established briefly for isolated and then, in detail, for open systems, and the origin and form of the entropy flow is discussed.Keywords
