Simple model for transport phenomena: Microscopic construction of Maxwell demonlike engine

Nonlinear transport in inelastic Maxwell mixtures under simple shear flow

The Boltzmann equation for inelastic Maxwell models is used to analyze nonlinear transport in a granular binary mixture in the steady simple shear flow. Two different transport processes are studied. First, the rheological properties (shear and normal stresses) are obtained by solving exactly the velocity moment equations. Second, the diffusion tensor of impurities immersed in a sheared inelast...

A simple model kinetic equation for inelastic Maxwell particles

The model of inelastic Maxwell particles (IMP) allows one to derive some exact results which show the strong influence of inelasticity on the nonequilibrium properties of a granular gas. The aim of this work is to propose a simple model kinetic equation that preserves the most relevant properties of the Boltzmann equation (BE) for IMP and reduces to the BGK kinetic model in the elastic limit. I...

Numerical Simulation of Transport Phenomena in Nuclear Cores

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Theoretical Framework for Microscopic Osmotic Phenomena Theoretical Framework for Microscopic Osmotic Phenomena

The basic ingredients of osmotic pressure are a solvent fluid with a soluble molecular species which is restricted to a chamber by a boundary which is permeable to the solvent fluid but impermeable to the solute molecules. For macroscopic systems at equilibrium, the osmotic pressure is given by the classical van’t Hoff Law, which states that the pressure is proportional to the product of the te...
