It has been a major research field in physics and will remain so in the future. Even regarding the concept of entropy, there exists a longstanding problem concerning its definition for a system in a state far from equilibrium. In this Special Issue, we offered the possibility to discuss and present up-to-date problems that were not necessarily restricted to statistical mechanics. Theoretical and experimental papers are both presented, in addition to unifying research works. As the entropy itself is the central element of nonequilibrium processes, papers discuss various formulations of the second law and its consequences. In this Special Issue, recent progress in kinetic approaches to hydrodynamics, rational extended thermodynamics, entropy in a strongly nonequilibrium stationary state, and related topics are reported as both review articles as well as original research works. 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aScarfone$b Antonio M$4edt$01323767 702 $aAbe$b Sumiyoshi$4edt 702 $aKovács$b Róbert$4edt 702 $aScarfone$b Antonio M$4oth 702 $aAbe$b Sumiyoshi$4oth 702 $aKovács$b Róbert$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557421703321 996 $aEntropy and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics$93035831 997 $aUNINA
