Abstract

Present work aims to develop a geometrization of thermodynamics of continua within the classical approximation where the velocity of the light is considered infinite, but nevertheless in the spirit of relativity. The connection on the manifold represents the gravitation. The temperature has the status of a vector and its gradient, called friction, merges the temperature gradient and strain velocity. We claim that the energy-momentum-mass tensor is covariant divergence free. It is a geometrized version of the first principle. The modeling of the dissipative continua is based on an additive decomposition of the momentum tensor into reversible and irreversible parts. The second principle is based on a tensorial expression of the local production of entropy which provides its Galilean invariance. On this ground, we propose a relativistic version of the second principle compatible with Poincare’s group.
