Abstract: (APS)
General expressions for transport coefficients of a single-component gas (namely, thermal conductivity and shear and bulk viscosities) of bosons are derived from a Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport equation by means of the Chapman-Enskog method to first order. These expressions are then used for the calculation of the associated transport relaxation times and applied to the pion gas produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The influence of Bose enhancement factors on transport properties can be seen by comparison with previous calculations. © 1996 The American Physical Society.- pi: gas
