SPECIFIC INTERNAL ENERGY OF RELATIVISTIC RANKINE-HUGONIOT EQUATIONS

Abstract

Abstract – The stress energy tensor and the mean velocity vector of a simple gas are expressed in terms of the Maxwell-Boltzman distribution function. The rest density 0 � , pressure, �, and internal energy per unit rest mass � are defined in terms of invariants formed from these tensor 0 quantities. It is shown that � cannot be an arbitrary function of �and � but must satisfy a 0 certain inequality. Thus � � ( 1
