In Eqs. (3.18b) and (3.18c) we have applied the substitution 1 = 0(T p1 pT1), according
to Eq. (3.4b), and we have included perturbations in the transport coecients due
to their temperature and density dependences, as introduced in Ref. 29 Appendix D,

The full thermoviscous second-order acoustic equations (3.18) are quite elaborate and
it is not straight forward to understand the physical meaning of each term. That is why
we limited the treatment in Chapter 2 to the adiabatic case, which greatly simplies the
equations. Moving on to the treatment of a steady periodic state, we will not treat the
secondary oscillatory components v2!
2 , p2!

but limit the presentation to the time-averaged components
