Rapid solidification is a relevant physical phenomenon in material sciences, whose
theoretical analysis requires going beyond the limits of local equilibrium statistical physics …

Our aim is to propose a theory which goes beyond the classical formulation of
thermodynamics. This is achieved by enlarging the space of basic independent variables …

This review paper is dedicated to a description of heat transport at micro and nanoscales
from the viewpoint of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics. After a short survey of the …

In this article, a covariant non-stationary theory of continuum irreversible thermodynamics is
proposed. The specific entropy and the entropy flux as well as the thermodynamical forces …

We discuss the conceptual differences between a nonequilibrium absolute temperature
(defined as the partial derivative of the steady-state nonequilibrium entropy) and the local …

Applying simultaneously the methodology of non-equilibrium thermodynamics with internal
variables (NET-IV) and the framework of General Equation for the Non-Equilibrium …

Some critical considerations on the models of “extended irreversible thermodynamics” are
given. By develo** a methodology (“invariance of the generators”) based both on the …

Using a phase-field model for fast phase transformations we derive an interface condition for
the rapidly moving solid–liquid interface. The model is described by equations for the …

A generalized Fourier law is shown to follow logically from the principle of frame-indifference
and the second law of thermodynamics. It can be used in the process of heat transfer in …
