Abstract

The general-relativistic equation of motion for a continuum and the corresponding mass balance equation are approximately treated for nonrelativistic velocities and weak gravitational fields, but taking into account the conductive momentum density caused by the irreversible effects. We find a new force term and a modification of the mass balance equation, neither of which can be neglected if irreversible processes are involved, (e.g., nuclear processes occurring in plasmas [1]).
