Steady shear flow thermodynamics based on a canonical distribution approach
Steady shear flow thermodynamics based on a canonical distribution approach
A non-equilibrium steady state thermodynamics to describe shear flows is developed using a canonical distribution approach. We construct a canonical distribution for shear flow based on the energy in the moving frame using the Lagrangian formalism of the classical mechanics. From this distribution we derive the Evans-Hanley shear flow thermodynamics, …
