Description

Methods of causal description for transport phenomena are developed. The approach applied is based on introduction of the upper limit velocity which is interpreted as a speed of the signal used for observation. Differences in the heat and mass transfer are considered. Corresponding evolution equations which satisfy the causality principle are derived
