The generalized hydrodynamic behavior of an Enskog moderately dense gas has been studied mainly through the correlation functions approach. However, the kinetic model based on the Grad's method to solve the Enskog equation seems to be a good alternative to such studies. In this work, we explore...

A kinetic theory approach is developed from the semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation for the thermotransport of electrons in polar semiconductors in the degenerate limit. The method of moments drives to a set of hydrodynamical equations which are closed up to thirteen relevant variables,...

In this work we develop a semiclassical kinetic model to construct hydrodynamic equations to study the nonequilibrium behavior of an electron gas in a semiconductor. To describe the system we assume that the Boltzmann transport equation is valid and we solve it in terms of the first 13 moments,...
