The evolution of thermodynamic systems far from equilibrium in examples

The conditions that determine the process of evolution in isolated and open nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to open nonequilibrium systems, far from equilibrium. Experimental and calculating the way shown that the nonequilibrium processes occurring in hydrodynamics, heat transfer, aerodynamics, magnetism, heterogeneous catalytic and homogeneous periodic chemical reactions, in biological systems and a number of others are subordinate to the same laws of changes in the state of nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems in the process of their evolution of their evolution . The basis of these patterns is the general principle, formulated in the form of axioms about the desire for perfection of processes in nature. The processes of the evolution of nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems, which have several non -destroyed and overlapped stationary states, are presented. The obtained patterns of the evolution of nonequilibrium systems are applied to the atmosphere of the Earth. The influence of some natural and anthropogenic factors is shown that increase the production of entropy in the atmosphere and bring the glacial period on Earth.
