Classical and Relativistic Rational Extended Thermodynamics of Gases

Beschreibung

Rational extended thermodynamics (RET) is the theory that is applicable to nonequilibrium phenomena out of local equilibrium. It is expressed by the hyperbolic system of field equations with local constitutive equations and is strictly related to the kinetic theory with the closure method of the hierarchies of moment equations. The book intends to present, in a systematic way, new results obtained by RET of gases in both classical and relativistic cases, and it is a natural continuation of the book "Rational Extended Thermodynamics beyond the Monatomic Gas" by the same authors published in 2015. However, this book addresses much wider topics than those of the previous book. Its contents are as follows: RET of rarefied monatomic gases and of polyatomic gases; a simplified RET theory with 6 fields being valid far from equilibrium; RET where both molecular rotational and vibrational modes exist; mixture of gases with multi-temperature. The theory is applied to several typical topics (sound waves, shock waves, etc.) and is compared with experimental data. From a mathematical point of view, RET can be regarded as a theory of hyperbolic symmetric systems, of which it is possible to conduct a qualitative analysis. The book represents a valuable resource for applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, offering powerful models for many potential applications such as reentering satellites into the atmosphere, semiconductors, and nanoscale phenomena.

Autor

¿Tommaso Ruggeri is an Emeritus Professor of the University of Bologna and a member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. His research activity has been dedicated to the propagation of nonlinear waves and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. He produced original contributions regarding the symmetrization of hyperbolic systems with convex entropy. He is one of the founders of modern extended thermodynamics, and is the author, together with Ingo Müller, of the book Rational Extended Thermodynamics (Springer, 1993 and 1998) Masaru Sugiyama is an Emeritus Professor of Nagoya Institute of Technology and a foreign member of Accademia delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna. He has been working in continuum mechanics, and also in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.  In particular, in recent years, he has obtained important results in rational extended thermodynamics of real gases.  He is the coauthor of the book Rational Extended Thermodynamics beyond the Monatomic Gas (Springer 2015) with Tommaso Ruggeri
