The mathematical properties of thermodynamics with internal variables are investigated in a general framework, both for the local and gradient theory. The consequences of the Second Law of Thermodynamics on the constitutive equations, together with some peculiar properties of the equilibrium states, are proved. The evolution equations of the internal variables are derived as a system of Hamilton equations resulting from a suitable Legendre's transformation.

Abstract
The mathematical properties of thermodynamics with internal variables are investigated in a general framework, both for the local and gradient theory. The consequences of the Second Law of Thermodynamics on the constitutive equations, together with some peculiar properties of the equilibrium states, are proved. The evolution equations of the internal variables are derived as a system of Hamilton equations resulting from a suitable Legendre's transformation.File in questo prodotto:
