Abstract The thermomass theory regards heat owning mass-energy duality, exhibiting energy-like features in conversion and mass-like features in transfer
processes. The equivalent mass of thermal energy is determined by the mass-energy equivalence of Einstein, which therefore leads to the inertia of
heat in transfer. In this work, we build up a thermomass gas model based on this theory to describe the fluid-flow-like heat conduction process in a
medium. The equation of state and the governing equations for transport for the thermomass gas have been derived based on methodologies of the
classical mechanics since the drift speed… More >
