Abstract

It is shown that the practice in extended irreversible thermodynamics of raising the physical fluxes, such asq, the heat flux density, etc. to the status of independent thermodynamic variables does not meet the basic thermodynamic requirements nor in a real situation by keeping them constant one can vary the other thermodynamic independent variables. To elucidate this point the phenomena of rigid body heat conduction is used as an illustrative expample. It is argued that the thermometric temperature of systems whether in equilibrium or in nonequilibrium is the same physical entity.
