Heat Conduction and Entropy Production in a One-Dimensional Hard-Particle Gas
Heat Conduction and Entropy Production in a One-Dimensional Hard-Particle Gas
We present large scale simulations for a one-dimensional chain of hard-point particles with alternating masses and correct several claims in recent literature based on much smaller simulations. We find heat conductivities kappa to diverge with the number N of particles. These depended strongly on the mass ratio, and extrapolations to …
