  Present-day thermodynamics has long outgrown the initial frames of the
heat-engine theory and transmuted into a rather general macroscopic method for
studying kinetics of various transfer processes in their inseparable connection
with the thermal form of motion. However its primary notions and mathematical
instrument as before based on concepts of thermostatics, to wich time, speed
and productivity of processes are alien, and on the equations transitory in
case of irreversible processes in inequalities. It is offered essentially other
approach at wich the thermostatics equations follow from thermokinetics of
spatially non-uniform systems.
