This paper is dedicated to Witold Kosiński. Our contribution to this special issue will concentrate on the properties of thermal waves, one of many scientific interests of our friend and collaborator, and this article is dedicated to his memory. Working together with Witold was always an insightful and pleasant experience, and it benefited all of his coworkers including the authors of this note. His scope of research was broad, spanning many disciplines and applications. Here we focus on a few of those aspects to which he applied a deep knowledge of continuum thermodynamics and its mathematical foundations.

Niniejsza praca jest poświęcona pamięci naszego przyjaciela Witolda Kosińskego. Chcielibyśmy przedstawić jego najważniejsze osiągnięcia w dziedzinie propagacji fal termicznych, termodynamiki i teorii hiperbolicznych układów różniczkowych. Zakres badań Kosińskiego był bardzo bogaty. Obejmował wiele dyscyplin na pograniczu mechaniki, matematyki i teorii komputerowych. Współpraca z Witoldem była owocna, zawsze wypełniona entuzjazmem i wzajemnym szacunkiem. Autorzy tego artykułu jak i inni współpracownicy Witolda korzystali z jego wiedzy i zawodowego doświadczenia. Bedzie nam go bardzo brakowało.

We consider phase transitions in solids due to heat propagating through crystalline materials at low temperatures. These are considered in a steady state context where, at the transition temperature, the specific heat becomes singular and the heat conductivity has a maximum. Several consequences are found for the heat capacity having finite or infinite jump discontinuities.

In order to account for low temperature heat propagation phenomena in crystals of sodium fluoride and bismuth, we employ a thermodynamic model for rigid materials involving a vector-field internal state variable. The model is either wavelike or diffusive, depending on the temperature regime considered.
