Abstract
This paper systematically deals with the influence of different sources of irreversibilities in work transfer expressions for closed and steady-state open systems. In the various cases, the hypotheses necessary to an analytical formulation and therefore the limits of the latter are specified. The influence of the non-uniformity of temperature and pressure on the irreversibilities in the system is particularly examined. The main aim is that of deducing a criterion with the conditions sufficient to separate in distinct relations the different phenomena (mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc.) simultaneously present in the same system.
