= Clausius–Duhem inequality
{wiki=Clausius–Duhem_inequality}
The Clausius-Duhem inequality is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics and continuum mechanics that expresses the second law of thermodynamics in a differential form. It serves as a mathematical statement of the irreversibility of thermodynamic processes and the concept of entropy production. In simple terms, the inequality can be stated as follows: \\\[ \\frac\{dS\}\{dt\} \\geq 0 \\\] where \\( S \\) is the entropy of a system.
