Maximum Entropy Production Is Not a Steady State Attractor for 2D Fluid Convection

Multiple authors have claimed that the natural convection of a fluid is a process that exhibits maximum entropy production (MEP). However, almost all such investigations were limited to fixed temperature boundary conditions (BCs). It was found that under those conditions, the system tends to maximiz...
