Abstract:We study the effect of correlation on the direction of particle exchange between local thermal sub-systems where the total system is isolated. Our focus is the situation where both sub-systems have the same temperature but different chemical potentials to eliminate the effect of energy transfer due to the temperature difference. The analysis is done in two limits; in the short time scale where the final state of each sub-system is close to its initial thermal state and in a longer time scale where each sub-sys… Show more
