The existence of a dissipative flux vector is known to be compatible with reversible processes, provided a timelike conformal Killing vector (CKV) χα=VαT (where Vα and T denote the four-velocity and temperature respectively) is admitted by the spacetime. Here we show that if a constitutive transport equation, either within the context of standard irreversible thermodynamics or the causal Israel–Stewart...
We analyze the effects of thermal conduction in a relativistic fluid just afer its departure from spherical symmetry, on a time scale of the order of relaxation time. Using first order perturbation theory, it is shown that, as in spherical systems, at a critical point the effective inertial mass density of a fluid element vanishes and becomes negative beyond that point. The impact of this effect...
