Synopsis:

Thermodynamic system. Thermodynamic quantities, states - I. Law of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic process, entropy - II. Law of thermodynamics. Principles of the constitutive theory of real materials. Consequences of the principle of the time irreversibility of processes and the principle of the maximum probability of states. Constitutive relations for thermoviscoelastic solids, thermoviscoelastic fluids. Thermodynamic conditions of the state stability. classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics, the principle of the minimum energy dissipation and the principle of the minimum entropy production. The extended non-equilibrium thermodynamics, generalized entropy definition for local nonequilibrium states.
