Abstract

In this paper we discuss the interaction of electric polarization and the flow of heat. We show that in polar fluids, the flow of heat causes a spontaneous alignment of molecules generating an electric polarization. For the system studied the reciprocal effect of electric polarization upon the thermal conductivity appears to be weak.
