Continuum Thermodynamics - Part Ii: Applications And Examples

Download or read book Continuum Thermodynamics - Part Ii: Applications And Examples written by Krzysztof Wilmanski and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-11-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
