Abstract

We review the recently developed theory of extended thermodynamics (ET) of real gases with six independent fields, i.e., the mass density, the velocity, the temperature and the dynamic pressure, without adopting near-equilibrium approximation. We discuss the polytropic and non-polytropic cases of rarefied polyatomic gases in detail, including the closure via nonlinear molecular ET.
