Abstract
The objective of the present chapter is to explain in detail the new ET theory of rarefied polyatomic gases and dense gases with 14 independent fields (ET14), that is, the mass density, the velocity, the temperature, the shear stress, the dynamic pressure, and the heat flux. We adopt the system of field equations with a binary hierarchy structure. We show that the constitutive equations can be determined explicitly by the caloric and thermal equations of state as in the monatomic ET13 theory. We also analyze physically important systems, that is, a rarefied polyatomic gas, a gas with the virial equations of state, a hard-sphere system, and a van der Waals gas. Lastly we show that the ET13 theory of rarefied monatomic gases is derived from the ET14 theory as a singular limit.
