Post-Newtonian non-equilibrium kinetic theory

The post-Newtonian hydrodynamic equations for a non-perfect fluid are developed within the framework of Boltzmann equation. components energy–momentum tensor determined by considering relativistic Eckart decomposition viscous and heat conducting fluid. From Grad distribution function its expression is derived. mass density, mass-energy density momentum from transfer equation Grad’s function. In non-relativistic limit Newtonian mass, energy densities recovered.
