A model describing the dynamical evolution of the Neptune-Triton system is presented. The planet is considered to be an extended deformable body and its shape is regarded as that of a prolate spheroid, taking into account the tidal action exerted on it by Triton. A differential equation is obtained to express secular variations in Triton's osculating orbit radius. In diagrams describing the performance of the model, a certain deviation was found between the time interval and tidal dissipation, and this is compared to an earlier model in which an exact proportionality was shown. Also, Neptune's spin axis is found not to be perpendicular to the Triton orbital plane, and, in fact, there is an inclination angle of about 21 degrees.
