Fourier’s Law in a Generalized Piston Model
A simplified, but non trivial, mechanical model—gas of N particles of mass m in a box partitioned by n mobile adiabatic walls of mass M—interacting with two thermal baths at different temperatures, is discussed in the framework of kinetic theory. Following an approach due to Smoluchowski, from an an...
