We review the general aspects of the concept of temperature in equilibrium and non-
equilibrium statistical mechanics. Although temperature is an old and well-established …

Granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and are also employed in many industrial
settings such as those involving chemical processes, pharmaceutical products, mining, and …

The Mpemba effect (a counterintuitive thermal relaxation process where an initially hotter
system may cool down to the steady state sooner than an initially colder system) is studied in …

The Enskog kinetic theory is applied to compute the mean square displacement of impurities
or intruders (modeled as smooth inelastic hard spheres) immersed in a granular gas of …

The Navier-Stokes transport coefficients of multicomponent granular suspensions at
moderate densities are obtained in the context of the (inelastic) Enskog kinetic theory. The …

Non-Newtonian transport properties of a dilute gas of inelastic hard spheres immersed in a
molecular gas are determined. We assume that the granular gas is sufficiently rarefied, and …

The Boltzmann equation for inelastic and rough hard spheres is considered as a model of a
dilute granular gas. In this model, the collisions are characterized by constant coefficients of …

The transport coefficients of a dilute gas of inelastic hard spheres immersed in a gas of
elastic hard spheres (molecular gas) are determined. We assume that the number density of …

The Enskog kinetic theory for moderately dense gas-solid suspensions under simple shear
flow is considered as a model to analyze the rheological properties of the system. The …

The Enskog kinetic equation is considered to determine the diffusion D and mobility λ
transport coefficients of intruders immersed in a granular gas of inelastic hard spheres …
