Round 10: 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 (-5[1])to force, diffusion, and collision terms. Boltzmann’s equation is often named (10[1])for this process. (10[2])For 10 points, name this ubiquitous, broadly-defined thermodynamic process that may occur through conduction (10[1])when it occurs (10[1]-5[1])to heat. (10[2]0[3])■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?”]
