Round 9: Tossup 8
Three different forms of this process are quantified by a single j factor in the Chilton–Colburn analogy. This process names a theorem that links the material derivative and the integral over a control volume of a quantity. Coefficients named for this macroscopic process are related to integrals of a correlation function by the Green–Kubo relations. The matrix of coefficients named for this process is symmetric for near-equilibrium processes described by Onsager’s reciprocal relations. This process names an equation that relates the time evolution of the distribution function to force, diffusion, and collision terms. Boltzmann’s equation is often named for this process. For 10 points, name this ubiquitous, broadly-defined thermodynamic process that may occur through conduction when it occurs to heat. ■END■
ANSWER: transport [or transfer; or transport processes; or transport phenomena; or word forms like transporting; accept heat transfer or momentum transfer or mass transfer; accept transport coefficients; accept Reynolds transport theorem; accept Boltzmann transport equation; prompt on diffusion until read by asking “which is a specific instance of what more generalized process?”; prompt on motion, movement, flux, or exchange; prompt on answers referring to reaching equilibrium until read by asking “which involves what process?”]
