We construct a microscopic theory of applying a heat flow from thermostatted boundary walls in the film geometry. We treat a classical one-component fluid, but our method is applicable to any fluids and solids. We express linear response of…
We study the Radiative Transfer equations coupled with the time dependent temperature equation of a fluid: existence, uniqueness, a maximum principle are established. A short numerical section illustrates the pros and cons of the method.
State functions play important roles in thermodynamics. Different from the process function, such as the exchanged heat $\delta Q$ and the applied work $\delta W$, the change of the state function can be expressed as an exact differential.…

Anomalous heat transfer (AHT), a process by which heat spontaneously flows from a cold system into a hot one, superficially contradicts the Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics. Here we provide a full classification of…

Heat transfer and dissipation exists in almost any physical, chemical or biological systems. Cells, as the basic unit of life, undergo continuous heat transfer and dissipation during their metabolism. The heat transfer and dissipation…

I discuss and extend the recent proposal of Leclair and Mussardo for finite temperature correlation functions in integrable QFTs. I give further justification for its validity in the case of one point functions of conserved quantities. I…
Understanding heat transport in one-dimensional systems remains a major challenge in theoretical physics, both from the quantum as well as from the classical point of view. In fact, steady states of one-dimensional systems are commonly…
