Abstract

We first review the principles of Classical Thermodynamics (see also Appendix D), and proceed to give an alternative formulation of Thermodynamics in the context of a true dynamical process.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The rate of the internal mechanical energy \(d{\mathcal{U}}_{\sigma }/dt\)due to stress is frequently referred to as the rate of internal work and is written as \(d{\mathcal{W}}_{\sigma }/dt\). The rate of its specific value \(d{u}_{\sigma }(\mathbf{x},t)/dt\)is similarly written as \(d{w}_{\sigma }(\mathbf{x},t)/dt\).

  2. 2.

    Since the stretch tensor \(\mathbf{D}\)may be decomposed into a reversible (i.e., elastic) part \({\mathbf{D}}^{e}\)and an irreversible (i.e., inelastic) part \({\mathbf{D}}^{i}\)(\(\mathbf{D}\! =\!{ \mathbf{D}}^{e}\! +\!{ \mathbf{D}}^{i}\)), (3.26) is valid. However this decomposition is not unique. We do not discuss the details here (see Raniecki and Nguyen 2005).

  3. 3.

    \(\sigma \! =\! {\sigma }_{\mathit{ij}}\,{\mathbf{e\!}}_{i} \otimes {\mathbf{e\!}}_{j},\ \dot{\mathbf{E}}\! =\!\dot{ {E}}_{\mathit{IJ}}\,{\mathbf{E\!}}_{I} \otimes {\mathbf{E\!}}_{J}\). From (??) we obtain

    $$\qquad {\mathbf{F}}^{-T}\dot{\mathbf{E}}{\mathbf{F}}^{-1} = \frac{\partial {X}_{I}} {\partial {x}_{i}} \dot{{E}}_{IJ}\frac{\partial {X}_{J}} {\partial {x}_{j}}{ \mathbf{e\!}}_{i} \otimes {\mathbf{e\!}}_{j},{\mathbf{F}}^{-1}\sigma {\mathbf{F}}^{-T} = \frac{\partial {X}_{I}} {\partial {x}_{i}} {\sigma }_{ij}\frac{\partial {X}_{J}} {\partial {x}_{j}}{ \mathbf{E\!}}_{I} \otimes {\mathbf{E\!}}_{J}$$

    The inner product of second order tensors \(\mathbf{A},\ \mathbf{B}\)is given by \(\mathbf{A}\! :\! \mathbf{B}\! =\! \text{ t}r({\mathbf{A}}^{T}\mathbf{B})\); thus (3.34) can be proved.

  4. 4.

    Suppose that we have a function fsuch that s  † ​ = ​ f(s  ∗ ), and set

    $${T}^{\dag } = \frac{{T}^{{_\ast}}} {df({s}^{{_\ast}})/d{s}^{{_\ast}}}.$$

    This is equivalent to

    $${T}^{\dag }\,d{s}^{\dag } = {T}^{{_\ast}}\,d{s}^{{_\ast}}.$$

    Thus the representation (3.57) is not unique.

  5. 5.

    If the domain of a function is (a subset of) one dimensional real number space , it is said to be a ‘functional’. The potential functions, such as the internal energy, are a typical functional.

  6. 6.

    In thermodynamics \({\frac{\partial A} {\partial x} \biggr |}_{a,b}\)implies differentiation of Awith respect to xunder a, bconstant.

  7. 7.

    The differential appeared in (3.175)

    $$\qquad { \frac{\partial u} {\partial {c}_{\alpha }}\biggr |}_{{\epsilon }^{e},\,s}$$

    and is sometimes referred to as the partial mass value (this case, partial mass internal energy) (cf. Slattery 1999, p. 447).

  8. 8.

    In some textbooks (3.198) is rewritten by using the changes of enthalpy Δhand the Gibbs free energy Δgbefore and after the reaction, and the Gibbs-Helmholtz relation is given by

    $$\qquad \frac{\partial \,} {\partial T}\left (\frac{\Delta g} {T} \right ) = -\frac{\Delta h} {{T}^{2}}$$

    Time-differentiation of (3.198) suggests that the above form is not accurate.
