Nonequilibrium Energy Profiles for a Class of 1-D Models
نویسنده
چکیده
As a paradigm for heat conduction in 1 dimension, we propose a class of models represented by chains of identical cells, each one of which containing an energy storage device called a “tank”. Energy exchange among tanks is mediated by tracer particles, which are injected at characteristic temperatures and rates from heat baths at the two ends of the chain. For stochastic and Hamiltonian models of this type, we develop a theory that allows one to derive rigorously – under physically natural assumptions – macroscopic equations for quantities related to heat transport, including mean energy profiles and tracer densities. Concrete examples are treated for illustration, and the validity of the Fourier Law in the present context is discussed.

Fixed-energy sandpiles belong generically to directed percolation.
Fixed-energy sandpiles with stochastic update rules are known to exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active phase into infinitely many absorbing states. Examples include the conserved Manna model, the conserved lattice gas, and the conserved threshold transfer process. It is believed that the transitions in these models belong to an autonomous universality class of nonequilibrium ...
متن کاملTemperature in nonequilibrium systems with conserved energy.
We study a class of nonequilibrium lattice models which describe local redistributions of a globally conserved energy. A particular subclass can be solved analytically, allowing us to define a temperature T(th) along the same lines as in the equilibrium microcanonical ensemble. The fluctuation-dissipation relation is explicitly found to be linear, but its slope differs from the inverse temperat...
متن کاملNonequilibrium steady states
This paper contains rigorous results on nonequilibrium steady states for a class of particle systems coupled to unequal heat baths. These stochastic models are derived from the mechanical chains studied by Eckmann and Young by randomizing certain quantities while retaining other features of the model. Our results include the existence and uniqueness of nonequilibrium steady states, their relati...
متن کاملModeling of Rotational Nonequilibrium in Post-Normal Shock Flow Analyses
Recent modeling of thermal nonequilibrium processes in simple molecules like hydrogen and nitrogen has indicated that rotational nonequilibrium becomes as important as vibrational nonequilibrium at high temperature. In this study, to analyze rotational nonequilibrium, the rotational mode is separated from the translational-rotational mode that is usually considered in two-temperature models. Th...
متن کاملSimulation of Reactive Distillation: Comparison of Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Stage Models
In the present study, two distinctly different approaches are followed for modeling of reactive distillation column, the equilibrium stage model and the nonequilibrium stage model. These models are simulated with a computer code developed in the present study using MATLAB programming. In the equilibrium stage models, the vapor and liquid phases are assumed to be in equilibrium and allowance is ...
