Abstract
Different formulations of non-equilibrium continuum thermodynamics are disc ussed: Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes (TIP), Rational Thermodynam ics (RAT), Extended Thermodynamics (ET), Mesoscopic Continuum Thermodynamic s (MT); and the GENERIC version of thermodynamics. Concepts as constitutive quantity, state space, material frame indifference, exploiting dissipation inequality, mesoscopic variables, and GENERIC balance equations are taken into consideration.
