Abstract
► Irreversible thermodynamics is a power interdisciplinary approach to open systems. ► Entropy generation is a quantity that is useful for obtaining their stationary states. ► Both maximum and minimum principles of entropy generation exist. ► The question is: which is the correct principle (maximum or minimum)? ► The two principles are equivalent, but they can be used for different aims.
