When the gas dynamics equations are linearized the viscosity and the thermal conduction produce damping on the potential mode. The above dissipative effects have been invoked as one of the mechanisms of heat input in different astrophysical plasmas, particularly, in the interstellar medium. The bulk viscosity also introduces important qualitative as well as quantitative changes (due to its dispersive character) in the acoustic dissipation problem, in particular, introduces strong restrictions on the range of temperature where thermal equilibrium may exist as it will be shown in the case of the high velocity clouds (HVCs) at high galactic latitude.
