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 of thermomass gas is generally… More >
