Entropy functionals are computed for non-stationary distributions of particles of Lorentz gas and hard disks. The distributions consisting of beams of particles are found to have the largest amount of entropy and entropy increase. The computations show exponentially monotonic increase during initial

It is known that the thermal conductivity of a dilute gas can be derived by using kinetic theory. We present here a new derivation by starting with two known entropy production principles: the steepest entropy ascent (SEA) principle and the maximum entropy production (MEP) principle. A remarkable fe
A synthesis of the structural and dynamical phenomenology exhibited by hard spheres at equilibrium is presented, with an emphasis on the relation between entropy and multiparticle correlations. A novel criterion for the freezing of the fluid is also proposed.
The recording head in a hard disk drive (HDD) is supported by an actuator assembly which is being controlled by a servo system. Structural resonance modes in the actuator impact the performance of the servo system. The actuator rocking mode has been identified as a major contributor to seek settling
