Definite example of negative entropy production in the Rolie Poly model

Abstract

While it is known that the Rolie Poly model is not guaranteed to be thermodynamically consistent, definite examples of a thermodynamically inconsistent prediction have not yet been published. Additionally, the source of the problem (and its historical context) may not be widely known. This work provides additional background information and a definite example of negative entropy production in an experimentally relevant flow, including a discussion of the implications in terms of an experimentally measurable quantity like recoverable strain.
