    Entropy Production and Thermal Conductivity of A Dilute Gas

    Full text link
    It is known that the thermal conductivity of a dilute gas can be derived by using kinetic theory. We present here a new derivation by starting with two known entropy production principles: the steepest entropy ascent (SEA) principle and the maximum entropy production (MEP) principle. A remarkable feature of the new derivation is that it does not require the specification of the existence of the temperature gradient. The known result is reproduced in a similar form.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur

    Sea Quark Flavor Asymmetry of Hadrons in Statistical Balance Model

    Full text link
    We derive a Menta Carlo method to simulate kinetic equilibrium ensemble, and get the same sea-quark flavor asymmetry as the linear equations method in statistical model. In the recent paper, we introduce the spilt factors to indicate the quarks' or gluons' spilt gβ†’qqΛ‰(gg)g\rightarrow q\bar{q}(gg) and qβ†’qgq\rightarrow qg ability. We obtain the almost fixed asymmetry value 0.12βˆ’0.160.12-0.16 which consists with experimental measurements for proton, when the spilt factors vary in a very wide range over four orders of magnitude. So, we proof the sea quark asymmetry can be derived from statistic principle and not sensitively dependents on the dynamics details of quarks and gluons in proton. We also apply the Menta Carlo method of statistical model to predict the sea-quark asymmetry values for KK mesons, octet baryons Ξ£\Sigma,Ξ\Xi and Ξ”\Delta baryons, even for exotic pentaquark states. All these asymmetry values just only dependent on the valence quarks numbers in those hadrons.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur

    Conservation laws of some lattice equations

    Full text link
    We derive infinitely many conservation laws for some multi-dimensionally consistent lattice equations from their Lax pairs. These lattice equations are the Nijhoff-Quispel-Capel equation, lattice Boussinesq equation, lattice nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, modified lattice Boussinesq equation, Hietarinta's Boussinesq-type equations, Schwarzian lattice Boussinesq equation and Toda-modified lattice Boussinesq equation
