Here, we show that the principle of frame-indifference plus the first law of thermodynamics
is equivalent to all other conservation laws (i.e., conservation of mass, linear momentum
and angular momentum). As discussed in Lecture-29, the first law of thermodynamics
states that rate of change of total energy (i.e., the kinetic and internal energy) is equal to
the rate of work done by external forces plus rate of change of heat energy, i.e.,

• The principle of frame-indifference states that the first law of thermodynamics as-
sumes same form in all frames of reference.
Let density (ρ), internal energy (e), heat flux across the surface (γ), heat supply per unit
mass (Qh ) and traction vector (t) be frame-indifferent. Let b be a body force that follows
transformation rule stated in principle of frame-indifference for linear momentum balance
(see Lecture-32). Then we have the following result.
The result of frame-indifference applied to first law of thermodynamics:
The principle of frame-indifference applied to the first law of thermodynamics implies:
and heat flux across normal to the Γ in the frame F ∗ , respectively. Let ρ(x, t), t(x, t, n),
a(x, t), b(x, t), e(x, t), Qh (x, t) and γ(x, t, n) be density, traction, acceleration, body
force per unit mass, specific internal energy, heat generation per unit mass and heat flux
across normal to the Γ in the frame F . We note that γ(x, t, n) is analogous to traction
t(x, t, n).
As mentioned in previous lecture, the Euclidean transformation between the frames
F and F is given by

The assumption we considered for the density, internal energy, heat flux, heat supply,
traction and body force can be written as

The argument similar to the Cauchy’s theorem (see Lectures 26 and 27) yields the exis-
tence of Cauchy stress tensor τ (x, t) such that t = τ n.
Using the similar arguments that were used in Cauchy’s theorem, we get the existence of
heat flux vector q(x, t) such that γ = q · n.
