Abstract: It is shown that the coupling of heat with acceleration first proposed by Eckart would have an overwhelming effect in the growth of density mass fluctuations, even in non-relativistic fluids in the presence of a gravitational field. Gravitational effects would be negligible if the heat-acceleration relation is assumed to be valid for the hydrodynamic equations. A direct implication of this result is that recent alternative first order in the gradients theories must be taken into account while describing a special relativistic fluid.
