On the evolution of higher order fluxes in non-equilibrium thermodynamics

Other Condensed Matter 2016-08-31 v4 Materials Science

Abstract

The connection between the balance structure of the evolution equations of higher order fluxes and different forms of the entropy current is investigated on the example of rigid heat conductors. Compatibility conditions of the theories are given. Thermodynamic closure relations are derived.
