  • Abstract
    A new Vector-Scalar notation, inspired from Maxwell´s Electromagnetic Equations, and a new thermoelectric speed-constant, attributed to any material or medium, is jointly used to derive a fully relativistic theory about the energy, momentum and charge transport in the presence of thermal gradients. Thermomagnetic effects are inherent with more rigor than from a phenomenological treatment alone. By reconsidering the thermoelectric transport parameters and eliminating duplicate definitions, we are in a better position to obtain analytical solutions to nonlinear and dynamic thermoelectromagnetic problems.
