Abstract
It is shown that the classical entropy does not increase monotonically
for an isolated fluid in which sound waves are attenuated according t
o a relaxational evolution equation. In contrast, the generalized entr
opy of extended irreversible thermodynamics does show a monotonic incr
ease and is therefore more suitable for the description of relaxation-
time phenomena in fluid systems.
