Correct definition of internal energy at the phenomenological construction of model of multicomponent continuous medium by methods of nonequilibrium thermodynamics

Taking into account the methods of thermodynamics of irreversible processes using the Onsager principle, a model of a multicomponent continuous medium is constructed, the internal energy of which is "free" of the kinetic energy of diffusion. The model is designed for an imperfect continuous medium with chemical reactions in the field of conservative external forces. Generalized StefanMaxwell relations are obtained, which represent a system of hydrodynamic equations of motion of a mixture with true inertial forces. The proposed thermodynamic technique made it possible to obtain a number of algebraic relations known from the kinetic theory of gases for the transfer coefficients, relating, in particular, the coefficients of multicomponent diffusion with binary diffusivitys, thermal diffusion ratios with thermal diffusion coefficients and multicomponent diffusion coefficients, true (molecular) thermal conductivity coefficient for multicomponent mixture with partial thermal conductivity coefficient, which indicates their versatility. The results obtained are intended for modeling not only liquid imperfect solutions, but also gas-dust mixtures with a finely dispersed dust component.
