Heat Conduction in a Non-Inertial Frame

  • Chapter

Abstract

Stationary heat conduction is considered in a monatomic gas between two co-axial cylinders which are at rest in a non-inertial frame. Instead of the usual Navier-Stokes-Fourier theory we employ the more reliable 13-moment theory of extended thermodynamics. Three surprising observations are made:

  • There is a tangential heat flux between the cylinders.

  • No rigid rotation of the heat conducting gas is possible.

  • There is a normal pressure field in the axial direction.
