AI Article Synopsis
- The text introduces a new abstract scalar field and a covariant field equation to explore the relationship between Fourier heat conduction and wave-like heat propagation.
- It suggests that this scalar field can generalize the concept of temperature from a dynamic perspective, giving it a broader application.
- The work also outlines how to calculate an effective mass associated with the thermal process and describes the unit of dissipative action using universal constants.
Article Abstract
We introduce an abstract scalar field and a covariant field equation, by which we make an attempt to connect the Fourier heat conduction and wave-like heat propagation. This field can be the generalization of the usual temperature from a dynamical point of view. It is shown that a kind of effective mass of this thermal process can be calculated. Finally, we express the unit of dissipative action with the help of universal constants.
