The experimental set-up consists in two coupled granular gas Non-Equilibrium Steady State (NESS) heat baths, in which Brownian-like rotors are imbedded. These rotors are electro-mechanically coupled thanks to DC micro-motors, through a resistor $R$, such that energy flows between them. The average flux depends linearly in the difference of the baths' temperature. Varying $R$ allows to extrapolate in the non-dissipative coupling limit ($R\\rightarrow0$). We show that, in this limit, the heat flux obeys the Fluctuation Theorem, in a form proposed by Jarzynski and W\\'ojcik in $2004$ for the fluctuations of the flux between finite size equilibrium heat baths.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-21T14:26:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "energy flux", "ness thermostats", "size equilibrium heat baths", "statistical properties", "granular gas non-equilibrium steady state" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
