Abstract

The development of the non-equilibrium thermodynamics without local equilibrium hypothesis is considered. The theory is based on the causal mechanics of the heat conducting continuum, which includes the 1st law of thermodynamics as a theorem. The conditions of applicability of the 2nd law of thermodynamics and the dissipation of the kinetic energy problem are discussed. The reasoning is carried out in the framework of the causal model of the viscous fluid. Main conclusions are illustrated using examples from the numerical analysis.
