Thermodynamics of Continuous Media

This lecture covers the thermodynamics of continuous media, focusing on the links between local and global systems, Euler's relation, heat and material current densities, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, global dissipated power, and chemical substances balance equations. It also explores Galilean invariance, symmetric stress tensor, and Archimedean force accelerometer. The instructor, Dr. Sylvain Bréchet, explains the concepts with equations and applications, emphasizing the importance of continuity equations for chemical substances and the principles of invariance in different reference frames.
