Description
We introduce a new approach to investigate the steady state
velocity of
Brownian objects in dissipative setups. We extract the
momentum transfer
that is directly associated to the steady state velocity of
the Brownian object. This approach provides simple physical
explanation why, for example, the adiabatic piston moves
toward hot side. Similarly it explains the direction of
steady state velocity of certain Brownian motors. This work
has been submitted (Antoine Fruleux, Ryoichi Kawai and KS,
10 Aug. 2011).
