Fluid and Thermodynamics

The book explores advanced concepts in continuum mechanics, focusing on Boltzmann and Cosserat continua, including their unique properties such as trivial and nontrivial angular momentum. It formulates balance laws and deformation measures for complex multiphase systems and applies thermodynamic principles to Boltzmann-type fluids interacting on various contact surfaces. Additionally, it introduces constitutive modeling for different dimensional body parts, addressing both equilibrium and non-equilibrium processes, and emphasizes materially objective variable sets.
