Abstract
The generalized evolution equations for the polarization vector and the total stress tensor (viscous plus Maxwell’s electric stress tensors) are obtained in the framework of extended irreversible thermodynamics. The coupling of these equations represents the mutual influence between mechanical and dielectric properties of a viscoelastic and dielectric fluid. The dipolar memory and the associated correlation functions are discussed in order to give an understanding in the current way of thinking based on linear response theory. A comparison with studies of polarization charge diffusion is included as a particular result obtained from the generalized constitutive equations. Calculations of the complex electric susceptibility and the complex viscosity for the linear and incompressible case are presented.
