Abstract
An extension is developed for an inhomogeneous system of a result originally derived for a homogeneous system concerning the sign of successive time derivatives of the entropy in the passage to equilibrium. A new microscopic derivation is given of two macroscopic thermodynamic equations used in the treatment.Keywords
