This second part of Continuum Thermodynamics is designed to match almost one-to-one the chapters of Part I. This is done so that the reader studying thermodynamics will have a deepened understanding of the subjects covered in Part I. The aims of the book are in particular: the illustration of basic features of some simple thermodynamical models such as ideal and viscous fluids, non-Newtonian fluids, nonlinear solids, interactions with electromagnetic fields, and diffusive porous materials. A further aim is the illustration of the above subjects by examples and simple solutions of initial and boundary problems as well as simple exercises to develop skills in the construction of interdisciplinary macroscopic models.

Contents:

  • Introduction

  • Geometry of Deformations of Solids

  • Kinematics of Continua in Different Descriptions

  • Balance Equations

  • Some Solutions for Fluids and Solids

  • Stability

  • Thermodynamical Problems

  • Extended Thermodynamics of Jou–Casas-Vázquez–Lebon

  • Dislocations

  • Acoustic Waves

  • Interaction of Ponderable Bodies with Electromagnetic Fields

  • Mechanics of Porous Materials

  • Thermodynamics of Porous Materials with the Porosity Balance

  • Appendices:

    • Basic Notions
    • Integral Transforms
    • Green Functions
    • Bessel Functions and Bessel Equation
    • Basic Physical Units

Readership: Materials scientists and physicists.
Key Features:

  • A unique combination of continuum thermodynamics and numerous models of practical bearing
  • Confrontation of various approaches to modern continuum thermodynamics
  • New and unpublished results on complex models of immiscible mixtures
