THEORY OF TRANSPORT PROCESSES AND THE METHOD OF THE NONEQUILIBRIUM STATISTICAL OPERATOR
From MaRDI portal
Publication:3498299
Abstract: The aim of this review is to provide better understanding of a few approaches that have been proposed for treating nonequilibrium (time-dependent) processes in statistical mechanics with the emphasis on the inter-relation between theories. The ensemble method, as it was formulated by J. W. Gibbs, have the great generality and the broad applicability to equilibrium statistical mechanics. Different macroscopic environmental constraints lead to different types of ensembles, with particular statistical characteristics. In the present work, the statistical theory of nonequilibrium processes which is based on nonequilibrium ensemble formalism is discussed. The kinetic approach to dynamic many-body problems, which is important from the point of view of the fundamental theory of irreversibility, is alluded to. The emphasis is on the method of the nonequilibrium statistical operator (NSO) developed by D. N. Zubarev. The NSO method permits one to generalize the Gibbs ensemble method to the nonequilibrium case and to construct a nonequilibrium statistical operator which enables one to obtain the transport equations and calculate the transport coefficients in terms of correlation functions, and which, in the case of equilibrium, goes over to the Gibbs distribution. Although some space is devoted to the formal structure of the NSO method, the emphasis is on its utility. Applications to specific problems such as the generalized transport and kinetic equations, and a few examples of the relaxation and dissipative processes, which manifest the operational ability of the method, are considered.
