Abstract

We prove Knudsen's law for a gas of particles bouncing freely in a two dimensional pipeline with serrated walls consisting of irrational triangles. Dynamics are randomly perturbed and the corresponding random map studied under a skew-type deterministic representation which is shown to be ergodic and exact.
