Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics: Evolution Equations

  • Chapter
Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics

Abstract

Our general purpose is to propose a theory which goes beyond the classical formulation of irreversible thermodynamics (CIT). This is achieved by enlarging the space of basic independent variables through the introduction of non-equilibrium variables, such as the dissipative fluxes appearing in the balance equations of mass, momentum and energy. The next step is to find evolution equations for these extra variables. Whereas the evolution equations for the classical variables are given by the usual balance laws, no general criteria exist concerning the evolution equations of the dissipative fluxes, with the exception of the restrictions imposed on them by the second law of thermodynamics.
