contents We formulate the relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics of a system of quasi-particles from the Boltzmann equation within the ambit of relaxation time approximation with modified collision kernels. We focus on two specific scenarios with single quasi-particle species, (i) the extended relaxation time approximation, and (ii) the novel relaxation time approximation. We find that both approaches lead to equivalent results up to first-order in spacetime gradients. We generalize the extended relaxation time approach to incorporate multiple quasi-particle species and obtain the corresponding expressions for the shear ($η_s$) and bulk ($ζ_s$) viscous coefficients. As an application, we study the temperature dependence of the transport coefficients of hot QCD medium with quasi-gluon and (light and strange) quasi-quark sectors considering the power law ansatz for the momentum dependence of the relaxation time. We explore the impact of the power law exponent on the ratio $ζ_s/η_s$. Our study suggests that in comparison to a constant exponent, a temperature dependent exponent in the power law ansatz is more suitable for modeling the quasi-particle dynamics in the relevant temperature regime of heavy ion collision.
