Summary
The orthogonality condition proposed by Ziegler as a generalization of Onsager’s relations and the equivalent principle of maximal rate of entropy production are derived from the postulate suggested by physics that forces are determined by their power and from the exclusion of gyroscopic forces.
Riassunto
La condizione di ortogonalità proposta da Ziegler come generalizzazione delle relazioni di Onsager e l’equivalente principio di massima produzione di entropia sono derivati dal postulato secondo il quale le forze sono determinate dalla loro potenza e dall’esclusione delle forze giroscopiche.
