Abstract
A novel equation of heat conduction is derived with the help of a generalized entropy current and internal variables. The obtained system of constitutive relations is compatible with the momentum series expansion of the kinetic theory. The well known Fourier, Maxwell-Cattaneo-Vernotte, Guyer-Krumhansl, Jeffreys-type, and Cahn-Hilliard type equations are derived as special cases. Some remarkable properties of solutions of the general equation are demonstrated with heat pulse initial and boundary conditions. A simple numerical method is developed and its stability is proved. Apparent faster than Fourier pulse propagation is calculated in the over-diffusion regime.
