Does Clausius' Inequality Analogue Exist for Open Discrete Systems?

We derive two versions of Clausius inequality for open discrete systems, one formulated for the non-equilibrium system itself using contact quantities, the other one using equilibrium quantities belongs to the system's environment. Consequently, Bhalekar's conjecture that there is no Clausius inequality for open systems is disproved.
