Abstract
A special class of contact transformations treated as thermodynamic process es is considered. The transformations are generated by a class of contact H amiltonians derived from the fundamental relation and the complete set of e quations of state of a system. For any contact Hamiltonian of this class th ere are derived contact flows and some invariants (if any) of these flows a re indicated.
