A five-dimensional treatment of the Boltzmann equation is used to establish the constitutive equations that relate thermodynamic fluxes and forces up to first order in the gradients for simple charged fluids in the presence of electromagnetic fields. The formalism uses the ansatz first introduced by Kaluza back in 1921, proposing that the particle charge-mass ratio is proportional to the fifth component of its velocity field. It is shown that in this approach, space-time curvature yields thermodynamic forces leading to generalizations of the well-known cross-effects present in linear irreversible thermodynamics.

Recent work has shown the existence of a relativistic effect present in a single component non-equilibrium fluid, corresponding to a heat flux due to an electric field. The treatment in that work was limited to a four-dimensional Minkowksi space-time in which the Boltzmann equation was treated in a special relativistic approach. The more complete framework of general relativity can be introduced to kinetic theory in order to describe transport processes associated to electromagnetic fields. In this context the original Kaluzas formalism is a promising approach. The present work contains a kinetic theory basis for Kaluzas magnetohydrodynamics and gives a novel description for the establishment of thermodynamic forces beyond the special relativistic description.
Phenomenological equations describing the Seebeck, Hall, Nernst, Peltier, Ettingshausen, and Righi-Leduc effects are numerically solved for the temperature, electric current, and electrochemical potential distributions of semiconductors under magnetic field. The results are compared to experiments.
The nonextensive kinetic theory for degenerate quantum gases is discussed in the general relativistic framework. By incorporating nonadditive modifications in the collisional term of the relativistic Boltzmann equation and entropy current, it is show n that Tsallis entropic framework satisfies a H-theorem in the presence of gravitational fields. Consistency with the 2nd law of thermodynamics is obtained only whether the entropic q-parameter lies in the interval $q in [0,2]$. As occurs in the absence of gravitational fields, it is also proved that the local collisional equilibrium is described by the extended Bose-Einstein (Fermi-Dirac) q-distributions.
The introduction of electromagnetic fields into the Boltzmann equation following a 5D general relativistic approach is considered in order to establish the transport equations for dilute charged fluids in the presence of a weak electromagnetic field. The conserved 5D stress-energy tensor is evaluated using the Juttner function for non-degenerate relativistic gases in local equilibrium, and the evolution equations for the local thermodynamic variables are established by means of relativistic kinetic theory. An outline of the possibilities offered by the Kaluza-type approach to MHD is also included.
We show that, in the context of the two-field measure theory, any k-essence model leads to the existence of a fluid made of non-relativistic matter and cosmological constant that would explain the dark matter and dark energy problem at the same time. On the other hand, kinetic gravity braiding models can lead to different behaviors, such as phantom dark energy, stiff matter, and a cosmological constant. For stiff matter, there even exists the case where the scalar field does not have any effect in the dynamics of the Universe.
