Nonlocal extension of relativistic non-equilibrium thermostatics

Abstract

Based on the formalism of nonlocal extension of the Israel-Stewart causal thermodynamics on the one hand, and on the formalism of the extended thermostatics on the other hand, we propose the new model of nonlocal relativistic non-equilibrium thermostatics for description of the static spherically symmetric stellar systems. This nonlocal formalism operates with the pair of orthogonal four-vectors: one of them is the standard unit timelike medium velocity four-vector, the second one is the unit spacelike director. We derived the extended equation describing the profile of the non-equilibrium pressure, which can be indicated as the static analog of the Burgers constitutive equation known in classical rheology.
