Thermodynamics of Continuous Media: Equations and Fields

This lecture covers the historical introduction to the continuity equations, the link between global and local systems, the physical and mathematical aspects of state function variations, and the divergence theorem. It also delves into the concepts of extensive state variables, density fields, and the conservation of mass and charge. The lecture further explores the laws of thermodynamics, including the first and second principles, as well as the relationships between local and global systems in the context of thermodynamic processes.
