Extended irreversible thermodynamics and the Jeffreys type constitutive equations

摘要

A postulate of extended irreversible thermodynamics is considered, according to which the entropy density is a function of the internal energy, the specific volume, and their material time derivatives. On the basis of this postulate, entropy balance equations and phenomenological equations are obtained, which directly lead to the Jeffreys type constitutive equations. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.
