Abstract

We present the Dirac structures and the associated Dirac system formulations for non-simple thermodynamic systems by focusing upon the cases that include irreversible processes due to friction and heat conduction. These systems are called non-simple since they involve several entropy variables. We review the variational formulation of the evolution equations of such non-simple systems. Then, based on this, we clarify that there exists a Dirac structure on the Pontryagin bundle over a thermodynamic configuration space and we develop the Dirac dynamical formulation of such non-simple systems. The approach is illustrated with the example of an adiabatic piston.
