Abstract
The class of thermodynamic processes with given rate and minimal entro py production is considered. The general conditions they obey are deri ved. It is shown how the application of those conditions to a number o f particular systems produces a number of known bounds on entropy prod uction (for heat and mass transfer processes and chemical conversion) as well as previously unknown bounds (for throttling, crystallization, and mechanical friction).
