Continuum Thermodynamics - Part I: Foundations

Presents thermodynamic methods of construction of continuous models. This book covers a wide range of models - ideal gases, thermoviscoelastic fluids, thermoelastic and thermoviscoelastic solids, plastic polycrystals, miscible and immiscible mixtures, and many others.
