Starting out with survey and introduction, state spaces are defined, the existence of internal energy is investigated, and Clausius inequality including negative absolute temperature is derived by diagram technique. Non-equilibrium contact quantities, such as contact temperature -- the dynamic analogue of thermostatic temperature -- and chemical potentials are phenomenologically defined and quantumstatistically founded. Using Clausius inequality the existence of non-negative entropy production is proved which allows to formulate a dissipation inequality in continuum thermodynamics. The transition between thermodynamics of discrete systems and continuum thermodynamics with respect to contact quantities is considered. Different possibilities of exploiting the dissipation inequality for getting constraints for constitutive equations are discussed. Finally hyperbolic heat conduction in non-extended thermodynamics is treated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolfgang Muschik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810200870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810200879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 6.36w x 0.50d","brand":"Wolfgang Muschik","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448054132991,"sku":"9789810200879","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7774b4e5-f282-4a8c-82e0-c82439a9ccd1.jpg?v=1777236581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aspects-of-non-equilibrium-thermodynamics-wolfgang-muschik-9789810200879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
