Abstract
A formalism based on the concept of transport velocity allows writing the energy equation for a rigid conductor with heat propagation in Liouvillean form. Such formalism leads to reconsider the well-known paradox of infinite propagation velocity in diffusing systems and suggests a deterministic particle approach for the heat conduction equation instead of the standard random walk description. Some straightforward thermodynamic consequences and fluid-dynamic analogies are derived.
