In the past few decades, numerous heat conduction models extending beyond Fourier's
have been developed to account for large gradients, fast phenomena, wave propagation …

The accuracy of the classical heat conduction model, known as Fourier's law, is highly
questioned, dealing with the micro-and nanosystems and biological tissues. In other words …

The book aims to present the recent developments in Rational Extended Thermodynamics
(RET) of gases in both classical and relativistic cases. The RET theory is a …

We present the state of the art on the modern mathematical methods of exploiting the
entropy principle in thermomechanics of continuous media. A survey of recent results and …

Basing on the recent theory of extended thermodynamics of dense gases, we study a
thermodynamic theory of gases with the energy transfer from molecular translational mode …

The structure of a shock wave in a rarefied polyatomic gas is studied on the basis of the
theory of extended thermodynamics. Three types of the shock wave structure observed in …

We present a more refined version of rational extended thermodynamics of rarefied
polyatomic gases in which molecular rotational and vibrational relaxation processes are …

We study the shock wave structure in a rarefied polyatomic gas based on a simplified model
of extended thermodynamics in which the dissipation is due only to the dynamic pressure. In …

Second sound phenomenon and ballistic heat conduction, the two wave like propagation
modes of heat, are the two most prominent, experimentally observed non-Fourier effects of …

The aim of this paper is to compare different kinetic approaches to a polyatomic rarefied gas:
the kinetic approach via a continuous energy parameter I and the mixture-like one, based on …
