description

The constraints imposed by the relativistic compressibility hypothesis on the square of the speed of sound in a medium are obtained. This result allows to obtain purely hydrodynamic conditions for the physical reality of a perfect energy tensor representing the energetic evolution of a perfect fluid in local thermal equilibrium. The results are applied to the paradigmatic case of the generic ideal gases. Then the physical reality of the ideal gas Stephani models is analyzed and the Rainich-like theory for ideal gas solutions is built.
