Second Law Constraints on the Dynamics of a Mixture of Two Fluids at Different Temperatures

Constitutive laws for multi-component fluids (MCF) is one of the thorniest problems in science. Two questions explored here are: how to ensure that these relations reduce to accepted forms when all but one of the constituents vanishes; and what constraints does the Second Law impose on the dynamics...
