Lagrange Equations Coupled to a Thermal Equation: Mechanics as Consequence of Thermodynamics
Following the analytic approach to thermodynamics developed by Stückelberg, we study the evolution equations of a closed thermodynamic system consisting of point particles in a fluid. We obtain a system of coupled differential equations describing the mechanical and the thermal evolution of the syst...
