Entropy Production and Viscosity of A Dilute Gas
arXiv:1203.2522 · doi:10.1016/j.physa.2012.02.009
Abstract
It is known that the viscosity of a dilute gas can be derived by using kinetic theory. We present here a new derivation by using two entropy production principles: the steepest entropy ascent (SEA) principle and the maximum entropy production (MEP) principle. The known result is reproduced in a similar form.
