Abstract
In this paper, the governing equations, which describe the behavior of thermoelastic porous medium in the context of the theory of generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time (Lord-Shulman) has been derived. The energy and the entropy equations have been derived also in general co-ordinates. The uniqueness of the solution for the complete system of the equations of the theorem has been proved.
