Abstract:
The validity of the identification of a dissipation function appearing in the recently proved fluctuation theorem to the thermodynamic entropy production has been studied for a classical nonlinear Schlögl reaction. This example has indicated that such identification is unjustified. Owing to this result, the applied importance of the mentioned theorem for studying complex nonequilibrium systems is doubtful.
