Some critical considerations on the models of “extended irreversible thermodynamics” are given. By developing a methodology (“invariance of the generators”) based both on the ideas of the “extended irreversible thermodynamics” and the “entropy principle” in its general formulation of “rational thermodynamics”, a theory for a newtonian thermoviscous fluid is proposed. The theory has the following properties, new when compared with previous ones: a) the system of equations is hyperbolic for any value of the field variables, provided that the usual thermodynamic stability condition (maximum entropy at equilibrium) holds; all wave-propagation speeds are then real and finite; b) the system is conservative and it is possible to seek for weak solutions and, in particular, for shockwaves; moreover, the system is symmetric-hyperbolic in the sense of Friedrichs; special properties hold therefore for weak solutions and shocks; c) the only thermodynamic variables at non-equilibrium, modified with respect to the corresponding ones at equilibrium, are the entropy density and chemical potential; consequentely, there exists only a single absolute temperature, playing an important role in relaxations; d) the entropy principle is automatically satisfied.
