Thermodynamics of continua: the challenge of universality

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

The explanation of the apparent universality of thermodynamics points toward the extension of the usual conceptual background of the second law. Arguments are collected that a basic guiding idea of stability of thermodynamic equilibrium combined with a proper interpretation of the entropy principle may provide the necessary solid foundation with verifiable consequences.
