Fluctuation theorem for the effusion of an ideal gas
arXiv:cond-mat/0606141 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.74.021117
Abstract
The probability distribution of the entropy production for the effusion of an ideal gas between two compartments is calculated explicitly. The fluctuation theorem is verified. The analytic results are in good agreement with numerical data from hard disk molecular dynamics simulations.
