Abstract

Balance laws of the type of entropy are treated in the framework of geometric measure theory, and a weak version, although conceptually simple, of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is introduced, allowing extensions to measure-valued entropy productions and to sets of finite perimeter as subbodies.
