We calculate the systematic average speed of the adiabatic piston and a thermal Brownian
motor, introduced by C. Van den Broeck, R. Kawai and P. Meurs [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93 …

The adiabatic piston problem involves two ideal gases contained in a horizontal cylinder
and separated by an insulated piston that moves without friction. Initially, the piston is held in …

We investigate the evolution of a system composed of N non-interacting point particles of
mass m in a container divided into two chambers by a movable adiabatic piston of mass M≫ …

The piston problem is investigated in the case where the length of the cylinder is infinite (on
both sides) and the ratio m/M is a very small parameter, where m is the mass of one particle …

The adiabatic piston problem is solved at the mesoscale using a kinetic theory approach.
The problem is to determine the evolution towards equilibrium of two gases separated by a …

We have investigated the motion characteristics of a movable piston immersed in a one-
dimensional gas of hard rods by event-oriented molecular dynamics in the absence of …

A detailed analysis of the adiabatic-piston problem reveals, for a finely-tuned choice of the
spatial dimensions of the system, peculiar dynamical features that challenge the statement …

We investigate the evolution of a system composed of $ N $ non-interacting point particles of
mass $ m $ in a container divided into two chambers by a movable adiabatic piston of mass …
