Radiative Transport Coefficients and Their Mutual Relations
In this chapter we apply the covariant kinetic theory of quantum dilute relativistic gases developed in Chap. 2 of this Volume and, in particular, the theory of transport processes to explicitly calculate transport coefficients of photons interacting wit

Kinetic Theory of Nonequilibrium Ensembles, Irreversible Thermodynamics, and Generalized Hydrodynamics
The tenet under which this work is carried out is figuratively summarized by the hexahedron displayed above: three vertices of subjects in the middle are constrained and in conformation to the two fundamental principles of physics, mechanical laws and laws of thermodynamics, at the two apices at the top and the bottom

Preface
In Volume 2 of the monograph entitled Kinetic Theory of Nonequilibrium Ensembles, Irreversible Thermodynamics, and Hydrodynamics, relativistic theories are presented for dilute monatomic gases and photons by using covariant kinetic equations. Kinetic equations employed are covariant versions of Boltzmann kinetic equations and the Nordholm–Uehling–Uhlenbeck quantum kinetic equations applied to a mixture of material gases and photon gases. By using the aforementioned kinetic equations, we develop kinetic theories for relativistic irreversible thermodynamics and hydrodynamics in a parallel manner to the nonrelativistic theories we have presented in Volume 1 of the monograph. The materials were based on the manuscripts written in collaboration with Dr. Kefei Mao many years ago, which also made up a part of h
