The M\"uller-Israel-Stewart second order theory of relativistic imperfect fluids based on Grad's moment method is used to study the expansion of hot matter produced in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The temperature evolution is investigated in the framework of the Bjorken boost-invariant scaling limit. The results of these second-order theories are compared to those of first-order theories due to Eckart and to Landau and Lifshitz and those of zeroth order (perfect fluid) due to Euler.
