| contents | Some microscopic dynamics are also macroscopically irreversible, dissipating energy and producing entropy. For many-particle systems interacting with deterministic thermostats, the rate of thermodynamic entropy dissipated to the environment is the average rate at which phase space contracts. Here, we use this identity and the properties of a classical density matrix to derive upper and lower bounds on the entropy flow rate with the spectral properties of the local stability matrix. These bounds are an extension of more fundamental bounds on the Lyapunov exponents and phase space contraction rate of continuous-time dynamical systems. They are maximal and minimal rates of entropy production, heat transfer, and transport coefficients set by the underlying dynamics of the system and deterministic thermostat. Because these limits on the macroscopic dissipation derive from the density matrix and the local stability matrix, they are numerically computable from the molecular dynamics. As an illustration, we show that these bounds are on the electrical conductivity for a system of charged particles subject to an electric field. |
