โฆ Synopsis
We consider a non-uniform fluid m thermal equilibrium, described by free energy as a functional of particle density. The property of locality is defined, and both local chemical potential and local pressure tensor are constructed. The former satisfies energy balance, and the latter satisfies balance of forces.

## It is shown how the expression for the entropy production in an electrochemical system has to be generalized so to include the case of non-uniform pressure. Then the statement about the equalization of pressures follows from the non-negative character of the entropy production, just as do the o
