| dc.description |
A nonequilibrium system of classical particles interacting through nonconservative forces is studied by a stochastic Markovian process defined over the space of the particle positions. The velocities of the particles are treated as independent stochocastic variables with a given probability distribution. We deduce expressions for the rate in which energy is exchanged with the surrounding as well as the rate in which energy is dissipated. These results are applied to the special case in which the irrotational and solenoidal parts of the forces acting on the particles are orthogonal. We also solve exactly a model in which these two forces are linear functions of positions. |
