The book analyzes the thermodynamic aspects of several phenomena induced by flow in fluid systems. It begins with a macroscopic formulation of the thermodynamic theory, within the framework of extended irreversible thermodynamics, and compares it with other non-equilibrium approaches. These macroscopic results are examined from a microscopic point of view for different systems, namely, ideal gases, non-ideal gases and dilute polymer solutions. The thermodynamic approach is applied to the analysis of shear-induced changes in the phase diagram of polymer solutions, to shear-induced diffusion and to chemical reactions under flow. It is also compared with the dynamical approach based on the detailed evolution equations. The book may be especially useful for researchers in non-equilibrium thermodynamics or non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and in polymer physics or materials sciences.

From the reviews of the second edition:
"This book provides a fundamental presentation of mathematical and physical principles of thermodynamics of fluids under flow, pointing out the most important theoretical and practical applications. The book is well written. Results of numerical solutions are given in many graphs and tables. The book will be useful to specialists working in thermodynamics, heat transfer, gas dynamics, polymer applications, etc. The book can also be recommended as a text for seminars, courses and independent study."
