  We study a general D-dimensional Schwarzschild-type black brane solution of
the Einstein-dilaton theory and derive, by using the holographic
renormalization, its thermodynamics consistent with the geometric results.
Using the membrane paradigm, we calculate the several hydrodynamic transport
coefficients and compare them with the results obtained by the Kubo formula,
which shows the self-consistency of the gauge/gravity duality in the
relativistic non-conformal theory. In order to understand more about the
relativistic non-conformal theory, we further investigate the binding energy,
drag force and holographic entanglement entropy of the relativistic
non-conformal theory.
