Relativistic Thermodynamics: A Modern 4-Vector Approach

Figure 2

Compression process in frame . A set of external forces ( are applied on an extended, deformable system during the same time interval , as measured in frame , with zero total impulse and zero torque. The th force has associated the displacement ( ) and 3-vector velocity . The center of mass (cm) of the system does not move during the process.
