Extended Thermodynamics: a Theory of Symmetric Hyperbolic Field Equations

Extended thermodynamics is based on a set of equations of balance which are supplemented by local and instantaneous constitutive equations so that the field equations are quasi-linear first order differential equations. If the constitutive functions are subject to the requirements of the entropy pri...
