Relativistic Heat Flux for a Single Component Charged Fluid in the Presence of an Electromagnetic Field

Abstract

AbstractTransport properties in gases are significantly affected by temperature. In previous works it has been shown that when the thermal agitation in a gas is sufficient for relativistic effects to become relevant, heat dissipation is driven not solely by a temperature gradient but also by other vector forces. In the case of relativistic charged fluids, a heat flux is driven by an electrostatic field
