We use one of the simplest forms of the K-essence theory and we apply it to
the classical anisotropic Bianchi type I cosmological model, with a barotropic
perfect fluid modeling the usual matter content and with cosmological constant.
The classical solutions for any but the stiff fluid and without cosmological
constant are found in closed form, using a time transformation. We also present
the solution whith cosmological constant and some particular values of the
barotropic parameter. We present the possible isotropization of the
cosmological model, using the ratio between the anisotropic parameters and the
volume of the universe and show that this tend to a constant or to zero for
different cases. We include also a qualitative analysis of the analog of the
Friedmann equation.Comment: 15 pages with one figure, accepted in Advances in High Energy Physic
