IRREVERSIBLE PROCESSES AT THE BIFURCATION POINT

Abstract

Irreversible processes are the driving force that creates order in the system. In chemical reactions far from equilibrium, ordered structures arise under the influence of nonlinear interactions at the bifurcation point and lead to the production of entropy. Nonequilibrium situations according to I. Prigogine [1] lead to space-time structures – dissipative structures. The production of entropy and its exchange with the environment can lead to the evolution of the system, moving into a self-organization mode [2].
