Multi-temperature mixture of fluids

Identification of an average temperature and a dynamical pressure in a multitemperature mixture of fluids.

We present a classical approach to a mixture of compressible fluids when each constituent has its own temperature. The introduction of an average temperature together with the entropy principle dictates the classical Fick law for diffusion and also novel constitutive equations associated with the difference of temperatures between the components. The constitutive equations fit with results rece...

A mixture theory for geophysical fluids

A continuum theory is developed for a geophysical fluid consisting of two species. Balance laws are given for the individual components of the mixture, modeled as micropolar viscous fluids. The continua allow independent rotational degrees of freedom, so that the fluids can exhibit couple stresses and a non-symmetric stress tensor. The second law of thermodynamics is used to develop constitutiv...

Temperature Evolution Law of Imperfect Relativistic Fluids

The first-order general relativistic theory of a generic dissipative (heatconducting, viscous, particle-creating) fluid is rediscussed from a unified covariant frame-independent point of view. By generalizing some previous works in the literature, we derive a formula for the temperature variation rate, which is valid both in Eckart’s (particle) and in the Landau-Lifshitz (energy) frames. Partic...

Thermodynamics of viscoelastic fluids: the temperature equation

From the thermodynamics with internal variables we will derive the temperature equation for viscoelastic fluids. We consider the type of storage of mechanical energy, the dissipation of mechanical energy, the compressibility of the fluid, the non-equilibrium heat capacity and thermal expansion, and deformation induced anisotropy of the heat conduction. The wellknown stress differential models t...
