The change in the production of entropy with time and the connection between the force and the flux are investigated using an experimental thermogram for a spherical molybdenum sample by the electrostatic levitation method. It is found that during supercooling of the molybdenum liquid phase, the reliability of the linear relation between the force and the flux does not exceed 25%. Estimates of the maximum values of the amplitude of temperature fluctuations and of the production of entropy during supercooling of liquid nickel are given.
