Description

Since the beginning of the past century many proposals for relativistic transformations in thermodynamics have been suggested. A general consensus about this matter has not been reached. In this work, we propose a scheme of thermodynamic relativistic transformations inspired by the Planck-Einstein theory, but changing the relativistic transformation of energy. This change permits the form invariance of thermodynamics. Also by means of finite-time thermodynamics we demonstrate the relativistic invariance of thermal efficiency
