Abstract

Flow, mass and heat transport through porous and fractured media occurs in many branches of engineering and science. Of particular concern are those processes in the subsurface occurring beneath the surface of the earth’s ground, that means flow and transport in geologic media with their complexity and uncertainty.

In thermodynamics, rational thermodynamics is a very general phenomenological and macroscopic theory for deriving constitutive equations, basically established by C. Truesdell [520] and his students W. Noll and B. Coleman in the 1960s, and is distinct from other categories of thermodynamics such as the classical thermodynamics and (extended) irreversible thermodynamics.
