Abstract-This paper deals with further developments of a nonlinear theory for a nonviscous gas in the presence of heat flux, which has been proposed in previous papers, using extended thermodynamics. The fundamental fields used are the density, the velocity, the internal energy density, and the heat flux. Using the Liu procedure, the constitutive theory is built up without approximations and the consistence of the model is showed: it is shown that the model is determined by the choice of three scalar functions which must satisfy a system of partial differential equations, which always has solutions. Different changes of field variables are carned out, using different Legendre transformations, passing from variables which are convenient from a mathematical pomt of view to intermediate nonequilibrium variables and finally to equilibrium variables. In particular, two possible extensions of the temperature far from equilibrium are considered: the “nonequilibrium temperature” of extended irreversible thermodynamics [defined as the reciprocal of the derivative with respect to the energy of a generalized nonequilibrium entropy) and the “thermodynamic temperature” by Miiller (defined as the mverse of the coefficient linking the nonequilibrium entropy flux to the heat flux). The link between these two quantities is established, general expressions for these quantities, as functions of the density, of the absolute temperature and of the heat flux are obtained. @ 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

1. INTRODUCTION The derivation of hydrodynamic equations from the microscopic kinetic, Boltzmann-type. equations is a fundamental research field of applied mathematics. The macroscopic description can be obtained by different mathematical approaches. For instance, the asymptotic theory for small Knudsen numbers related theory of gases means, as known [l], analyzing the macroscopic description

equations when the distance between particles tends to zero. Then one obtains a macroscopic description delivered by the microscopic one as an alternative to the purely phenomenological derivation.

The link between these two quantities is established and general expressions for these quantities are obtained. In Section 6, different changes of field variables are carried out, using different Legendre transformations, passing from variables which are convenient from a mathematical point of view to intermediate nonequilibrium variables and finally to equilibrium variables.

In [13], Liu and Miiller first imposed general physical principles to this system, such as that of material objectivity and the entropy principle. Now, we report briefly this methodology, as reported in the book of Miiller and Ruggeri [23], which furnish an elegant and powerful method for obtain high-order models of gases.

Sometimes, in the description of gases in nonequilibrium, the approximation of nonviscous fluid may be heuristically applied [25,26]. In a previous paper [27], it has shown that in order to formulate nonlinear extended theories for nonviscous gases and fluids, we can use as fundamental fields only the density p, the velocity uzr the internal energy density E = &,/2, and the heat flux (Iz = k/2.

TEMPERATURES

FAR

EQUILIBRIUM

The problem of t,he definition of the temperature far from equilibrium has received attention by several authors. An extensive discussion can be found in the book of Jou, Casas-Vazquez and Lebon [17]! which is a fundamental tool for people working in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. In classical thermodynamics of solids or fluids, the equilibrium temperature is equal to the inverse of the partial derivative of the entropy with respect to the energy, at constant, density and it is identical to the inverse of the coefficient linking the entropy flux and the heat flux. Some authors [15,16] h ave proposed the use of a generalized “nonequilibrium temperature“ B. defined as the reciprocal of the derivative with respect to the energy of a generalized nonequilibrium entropy h depending not only on the classical variables, but also on the dissipative fluxes, as, for instance

EQUATIONS

FOR A NONVISCOUS

GAS

In [28]. it has been observed that, in the study of nonequilibrium phenomena, different nonequilibrium variables can be used. In particular, in a theory in which the evolution time of the heat flux is not negligible either the heat flux q and the quantity J = Vq (being V = l/p the specific volume) can be chosen as nonequilibrium variables [25,29]. From a mathematical point of view: two different definitions for the pressure and chemical potential far from equilibrium can q and J, respectively, and be introduced: the nonequilibrium pressures 7rg and ?rJ at constant the nonequilibrium

one sees that different generalizations of the Gibbs equation are possible far from which can be all useful in different physical situations. In all these generalizations,

the same quantity 6 appears. It is therefore, reasonable to call this quantity nonequilibrium temperature. Finally, observe that the potential h’ is linked to the nonequilibrium thermodynamic pressure at constant J, in fact. recalling that in this theory 3p = 2E, from (4.5) one obtains h’ = -;

Observe that the quantity -l/b appearing in the right side of equation (8.1) has the dimension of time and near equilibrium can be interpreted as relaxation time of the heat Aux 4%. We make, therefore, the following position: b=Consider now a nonequilibrium vu, = 0. Under these hypotheses,
