Minkowski momentum of an MHD wave
Tadas K Nakamura
The momentum of an MHD wave has been examined from the view point of the electromagnetic momentum expression derived by Minkowski. Basic calculations show that the Minkowski moment…
Relativistic Statistical Mechanics with Angular Momentum
Tadas K Nakamura
The equilibrium distribution function of a relativistic ideal gas has been derived to include the effect of angular momentum. The result agrees with the one obtained from kinetic t…
Thermodynamics of Extended Bodies in Special Relativity
Tadas K Nakamura
Relativistic thermodynamics is generalized to accommodate four dimensional rotation in a flat spacetime. An extended body can be in equilibrium when its each element moves along a…
Lorentz Transform of Black Body Radiation Temperature
Tadas K Nakamura
The Lorentz transform of black body radiation has been investigated from the view point of relativistic statistical mechanics. The result shows that the well known expression with…
Covariant Thermodynamics of an Object with Finite Volume
Tadas K. Nakamura
A covariant way to define the relativistic entropy of a finite object has been proposed. The energy-momentum of an object with finite volume is not a covariant physical entity beca…
