Abstract
The thermal relaxation of a dense gas described by the modified Enskog equation is studied for a closed system in contact with a heat bath. As in the case of the Boltzmann equation, the Helmholtz free energy $\mathcal{F}$ that decreases monotonically in time is found under the conventional kinetic boundary condition that satisfies the Darrozes--Guiraud inequality. The extension to the modified Enskog--Vlasov equation is also presented.
期刊介绍:
KRM publishes high quality papers of original research in the areas of kinetic equations spanning from mathematical theory to numerical analysis, simulations and modelling. It includes studies on models arising from physics, engineering, finance, biology, human and social sciences, together with their related fields such as fluid models, interacting particle systems and quantum systems. A more detailed indication of its scope is given by the subject interests of the members of the Board of Editors. Invited expository articles are also published from time to time.
