This book presents the fundamentals of irreversible thermodynamics
for nonlinear transport processes in gases and liquids, as well as
for generalized hydrodynamics extending the classical hydrodynamics
of Navier, Stokes, Fourier, and Fick. Together with its companion
volume on nonrelativistic contexts, it provides a comprehensive
picture of the relativistic covariant kinetic theory of gases and
relativistic hydrodynamics of gases.Relativistic theories of
macroscopic irreversible processes must strictly conform to the
thermodynamic laws at every step and in all approximations that
enter their derivation from the mechanical principles. Upholding
this as the inviolable tenet, the author develops theories of
irreversible transport processes in fluids (gases or liquids). They
apply regardless of whether the processes are near to or far
removed from equilibrium, or whether they are linear or nonlinear
with respect to macroscopic fluxes or thermodynamic forces. The
irreversible covariant Boltzmann as well as the covariant form of
the Boltzmann-Nordheim-Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation is used for
deriving theories of irreversible transport equations and
generalized hydrodynamic equations for either classical gases or
quantum gases. They all conform rigorously to the tenet. All
macroscopic observables described by the so-formulated theories
therefore are likewise expected to strictly obey the tenet.
