In this analysis, \u003ci\u003eThermodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e joins \u003ci\u003eMechanics\u003c\/i\u003e with a greater role than that usually performed in the case of \u003ci\u003esolids\u003c\/i\u003e. We immediately point out that, even in the presence of thermal effects, the analysis of the main problems of engineering interest can be conducted by simulating the body with a continuous medium, in the mathematical sense. However, we specify that in some engineering applications of \u003ci\u003eFluid Dynamics\u003c\/i\u003e we encounter fluids for which the continuum model is not admissible (as in the case of \u003ci\u003erarefied gases\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003eIn fluid dynamics, as a rule, non-negligible \u003ci\u003emechanical energy dissipation\u003c\/i\u003e phenomena occur, with consequent production of \u003ci\u003eentropy\u003c\/i\u003e. If entropy is produced during a transformation, this cannot be canceled and it follows that the transformation considered is \u003ci\u003eirreversible\u003c\/i\u003e. It is therefore obligatory, in order to construct an adequate model of the problem, to resort to the \u003ci\u003eThermodynamics of irreversible processes\u003c\/i\u003e. However, let us premise some references to \u003ci\u003eclassical Thermodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e, based on a theory formulated with postulates.\u003cbr\u003eThis ebook is an introduction to \u003ci\u003eFluid Dynamics.\u003c\/i\u003e It deduces its fundamental results favoring (when possible) considerations of a \u003ci\u003ephysical nature\u003c\/i\u003e.
