Roles of Dry Friction in Fluctuating Motion of Adiabatic Piston

arXiv:1309.7700 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.89.032104

Abstract

The motion of an adiabatic piston under dry friction is investigated to clarify the roles of dry friction in non-equilibrium steady states. We clarify that dry friction can reverse the direction of the piston motion and causes a discontinuity or a cusp-like singularity for velocity distribution functions of the piston. We also show that the heat fluctuation relation is modified under dry friction.
