Abstract

Thermodynamics plays an important role in cosmological models because the energy-momentum tensor appearing in the equations of general relativity must be specified according to the contents of the Universe. The earlier classical cosmological models do not include dissipation, as they postulate a reversible adiabatic expansion of the Universe. However, the attention paid to dissipative phenomena in cosmology and astrophysics is growing up rapidly. The interaction between matter and radiation, and other phenomena, discussed later in this chapter, depend on dissipative effects mainly due to bulk viscosity.
