Key Points

The proposed single temperature variable lacks consistency and utility in thermodynamics.
The origins of the Second Law and local temperatures in Markovian theory are critically examined.
Simple examples illustrate the shortcomings of current thermodynamic formalism in open systems.
The findings point to the need for more robust models to address non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes.

Abstract

It is argued the the idea of a single temperature-like variable, introduced in [1], which enters a generalized second law for Markovian open system in non-equilibrium environment is not sufficient for a consistent and useful thermodynamic formalism. The origin of the Second Law and ``local temperatures'' in Markovian theory of Quantum Open Systems is revisited and illustrated by simple examples.
