Abstract
All equations in this book are derived from the principles and concepts postulated in this chapter. As indicated in the structure and contents the principles are introduced in three consecutive steps. We introduce first the column-1 principles which involve mole numbers, masses and generalised extensives, then the column-2 principles which include the fundamental extensives momentum, energy and entropy, and, finally, the column-3 principles comprising phenomenological laws.
