• non-equilibrium-equilibrium transition
• organized currents
• entropy production
• antropy

The transition of a fluid from a non-equilibrium state to an equilibrium state is characterized not only by the disappearance of the entropy production butmainly by the disappearance of the organized currents, because the gradients present in a non-equilibrium system. Their disappearance is necessary to obtain a maximum entropy in the equilibrium state.
