Abstract
In the context of the Muller-Israel-Stewart second-order phenomenologi cal theory for dissipative fluids, we analyse the effects of thermal c onduction and viscosity in a relativistic fluid, just after its depart ure from hydrostatic equilibrium, on a time scale of the order of the relaxation times. Stability and causality conditions are contrasted wi th conditions for which the 'effective inertial mass' vanishes.
