We assume that temperature of the medium fluctuates around its mean value. The velocity probability distribution is obtained. It is shown that the stationary state is not a thermodynamic equilibrium state described by the Maxwell distribution. Instead a nonequilibrium state is produced by temperature fluctuations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-06-29T09:55:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "temperature fluctuations", "brownian motion", "thermodynamic equilibrium state", "velocity probability distribution", "brownian particle" ], "publication": { "journal": "Acta Physica Polonica B", "year": 2004, "month": "Sep", "volume": 35, "number": 9, "pages": 2151 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004AcPPB..35.2151L" } } }
