There are several types of dissipation—the viscosity and heat conductivity, the nonlinearity and the coupling of distinct characteristics—that can occur in the system of conservation laws. In addition to these corresponding types of dissipation, there are other consequences of the H-theorem and the boundary dissipative effects for the kinetic theory. We discuss these issues and raise questions.
