Abstract

The principles of thermodynamics have found application in many branches of science. These principles have been employed to understand the efficiency of heat engines, the electromotive force of galvanic cells and thermal junctions, the dependence of chemical equilibrium on temperature and pressure, the properties of phase transitions, and the subject emphasized in this book: the thermomechanics of continuous bodies.

This article appeared as Appendix G1 in C. Truesdell’s Rational Thermodynamics (Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo 1984).
