New methodological principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics

It is shown that the thermodynamic theory of speed of irreversible processes should be built on own methodological basis, but not by extrapolation of classical thermodynamics for strict frames of its initial concepts of equilibrium and reversibility. The principles of creation of such theory are offered. They are based on the systems concept, exclude application of hypotheses, postulates and model representations in the theory bases, don't resort to idealization of processes and systems in them and explicitly consider spatial non-uniformity of the researched systems
