description

In the paper, methods of Extended Thermodynamics are used to derive nonlinear closure relations for hydrodynamical models for charge transport in metals or in semiconductors, neglecting viscous phenomena. For the sake of simplicity only the case of single parabolic band approximation is studied. In this work the velocity v i is not considered as a small parameter; therefore, the models obtained can be useful when one wishes to study phenomena in a neighborhood of a stationary non-equilibrium process.
