The author re-examines the calculations of the transport entropy of vortices and finds that the old definitions of the heat current available in the literature are unsatisfactory. Based on the microscopic theory of nonstationary superconductivity, the prescription for how to calculate the heat current for the mixed state of superconductors is obtained. The transport entropy of vortices is recalculated in the high-field limit to demonstrate the difference between the new and old definitions of the heat current.
