Abstract
Various inadequacies and inconsistencies of previous treatments of heat flow in a nonequilibrium superconductor are pointed out. The energy current associated with a quasistatic time-dependent order parameter is calculated near the transition temperature using standard techniques and a result obeying the equation of continuity is obtained. Further microscopic calculations indicate the existence of local temperature gradients which drive the entropy current. An attempt is made to calculate corresponding additional terms in the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation.
