An extended irreversible thermodynamic description of electrothermoelastic semiconductors (original) (raw)

International Journal of Engineering Science, 1986

Abstract

ABSTRACT A deformable anisotropic heat conducting semiconductor in interaction with an electromagnetic field is analyzed within the framework of extended irreversible thermodynamics. The latter enlarges the set of independent variables by including the heat and electrical current fluxes; their evolution in the course of time is governed by first order differential equations. The complete set of constitutive relations and evolution equations is established. In particular, it is shown that thermal and electrical signals propagate with a finite velocity.
