Thermodynamic Interpretation of the Kompanneets-Chernov-Kantowski-Sachs Solutions

Abstract

The spatially homogeneous perfect fluid solutions by Kompanneets-Chernov-Kantowski-Sachs are interpreted as a thermodynamic perfect fluid in isentropic evolution, namely, the isentropic limit of their non-homogeneous generalizations, the T-models. Some specific solutions that model a generic ideal gas are examined, and the associated thermodynamic variables are obtained. We show that the necessary macroscopic conditions for physical reality are fulfilled in wide spacetime domains. The field equations for a classical ideal gas are established, and the behavior of the solution is analyzed. The models fulfilling a relativistic $\gamma$-law are also examined, and the solutions for some particular cases are obtained.
