Entransy · Thermomass energy · Relativistic kinetomass energy

Abstract

This paper is divided into five parts. The first part is the introduction, and it briefly reviews the three stages of the development of the entransy theory. The second part relates the entransy theory in heat transfer, introducing the necessity for, the definition of, the physical meaning of, and the applications of entransy. The third part concerns thermomass and thermomass energy, giving the concepts and their definitions, establishes the general heat conduction law, and clarifies that the nature of heat is the duality of “energy and mass”. The fourth part introduces the concepts of relativistic kinetomass and relativistic kinetomass energy, distinguishing them from the existing concepts of relativistic mass and relativistic energy. Some forms of relativistic kinetomass energy, except for thermomass energy, are introduced, including mechanical kinetomass energy, information energy, and dark energy. Following a brief introduction of energetics, the fifth section presents an idea of establishing a new discipline, Neo-energetics, based on a class of new energy forms (relativistic kinetomass energy) and new law of energy conservations.
