[edit] Clausius-Duhem inequalityThe Clausius-Duhem inequality can be expressed in integral form as In differential form the Clusius-Duhem inequality can be written as |
Proof:
Assume that Ω is an arbitrary fixed control volume. Then un = 0 and the derivative can be taken inside the integral to give
Using the divergence theorem, we get
Since Ω is arbitrary, we must have
Expanding out
or,
or,
Now, the material time derivatives of ρ and η are given by
Therefore,
From the conservation of mass
. Hence,
[edit] Clausius-Duhem inequality in terms of internal energyIn terms of the specific entropy, the Clausius-Duhem inequality is written as Show that the inequality can be expressed in terms of the internal energy as |
Proof:
Using the identity
in the Clausius-Duhem inequality, we get
Now, using index notation with respect to a Cartesian basis
,
Hence,
Recall the balance of energy
Therefore,
Rearranging,
