  abstract = {<p><span>We write the\&nbsp;</span>equation<span>\&nbsp;of\&nbsp;</span>phonon<span>\&nbsp;radiative\&nbsp;</span>transport<span>\&nbsp;(EPRT) and the\&nbsp;</span>Boltzmann transport equation<span>\&nbsp;by including an in-scattering term under a\&nbsp;</span>relaxation time<span>\&nbsp;approximation. The in-scattering term contains a phase function that is exactly analogous to the phase function in the\&nbsp;</span>equation<span>\&nbsp;of radiative\&nbsp;</span>transport<span>\&nbsp;(ERT), thereby making EPRT exactly same as ERT. This formulation of EPRT is called the generalized EPRT (GEPRT). GEPRT is totally consistent with EPRT and\&nbsp;</span>transport<span>\&nbsp;</span>theory;<span>\&nbsp;however, GEPRT shows that the mean free path due to\&nbsp;</span>particle scattering<span>\&nbsp;depends on the acoustic thickness of the medium if\&nbsp;</span>scattering<span>\&nbsp;is\&nbsp;</span>anisotropic<span>\&nbsp;and asymmetrical for heat flow in the thickness direction of the medium, irrespective of the\&nbsp;</span>boundary condition.<span>\&nbsp;GEPRT can be solved using the techniques used for solving ERT.</span></p>},
