Keywords:
actions with the conservation property; conservative property at one state; at every state; everywhere defined continuous potential; semi- systems
Summary:
The paper deals with the theory of actions on thermodynamical systems. It is proved that if an action has the conservation property at least at one state then it has the conservation property at every state and admits an everywhere defined continuous potential. An analogous result for semi-systems is also proved.
