The method we use is a competition method, $S_S/\\tau+\\sigma={\\it maximum}$, where $S_S$ is system entropy, $\\sigma$ is entropy production and $\\tau$ is microscopic interaction time. System entropy is calculated from the equilibrium state by studying the flux fluctuations. The phenomena we study include ionic conduction, atomic diffusion, thermal conduction and viscosity of a dilute gas.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-26T08:53:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "entropy production", "applications", "system entropy", "microscopic interaction time", "equilibrium state" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1006.5114Z" } } }
