Heat Conduction in a One-Dimensional Gas of Elastically Colliding Particles of Unequal Masses
Heat Conduction in a One-Dimensional Gas of Elastically Colliding Particles of Unequal Masses
We study the nonequilibrium state of heat conduction in a one-dimensional system of hard point particles of unequal masses interacting through elastic collisions. A BBGKY-type formulation is presented and some exact results are obtained from it. Extensive numerical simulations for the two-mass problem indicate that, even for arbitrarily small mass …
