Abstract

The problem on minimization of the thermodynamic action performed by a linear relaxing thermodynamic system from an arbitrary nonequilibrium state on a finite time interval has been solved. In specific applications, this problem solves that on the maximum mechanical or electric energy (work) which can be recovered in a finite time interval from such systems as a viscoelastic body, electric RC and LC circuits, an ideal gas with relaxation, and others in an arbitrary nonequilibrium initial state.
