Abstract
On the basis of the nonlinear extended thermodynamics theory discussed in Part I, the shock wave structure in a rarefied non-polytropic gas is analyzed. It is found that the effect of nonlinearity in the constitutive equation on the shock wave structure becomes significant only when the Mach number is large. The deviation from the exponential decay in the relaxation profile of the mass density for large Mach numbers is also discussed.
