Abstract

In this paper we consider a mixture of chemically reacting materials with memory. After stating the constitutive assumptions we adopt the usual postulate of fading memory and determine the restrictions which the Second Law of Thermodynamics places on the response functions. Subsequently, we examine the behavior of acceleration waves propagating in such a mixture which is initially in a state of thermochemical equilibrium. We also distinguish between the cases when the equilibrium state is weak or strong, and determine their effects on the wave behavior.
