Phonon hydrodynamics is an effective macroscopic method to study heat transport in
dielectric solid and semiconductor. It has a clear and intuitive physical picture, transforming …

This review paper is dedicated to a description of heat transport at micro and nanoscales
from the viewpoint of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics. After a short survey of the …

Our aim is to propose a theory which goes beyond the classical formulation of
thermodynamics. This is achieved by enlarging the space of basic independent variables …

Our time is characterized by an explosion of information and by an acceleration of
knowledge. A book cannot compete with the huge amount of data available on the Web …

This book surveys significant modern contributions to the mathematical theories of
generalized heat wave equations. The first three chapters form a comprehensive survey of …

We review the progress made in extended irreversible thermodynamics during the ten years
that have elapsed since the publication of our first review on the same subject (Rep. Prog …

This review paper puts together some results concerning non equilibrium thermodynamics
and heat transport properties of superfluid He II. A one-fluid extended model of superfluid …

A thermodynamic description of transient heat conduction at small length and timescales is
proposed. It is based on extended irreversible thermodynamics and the main feature of this …

Weakly nonlocal thermodynamic theories are critically revisited. A relocalized, irreversible
thermodynamic theory of nonlocal phenomena is given, based on a modified form of the …

A phonon hydrodynamic equation has been recently derived from the kinetic theory of
phonons for nanoscale heat transport at ordinary temperatures. The classical irreversible …
