We present computer simulations run with a stochastic cellular automaton which describes $d=1$ particle systems connected to reservoirs which keep two different densities at the endpoints. We fix the parameters so that there is a phase transition (of the van der Waals type) and observe that if the densities at the boundaries are metastable then, after a transient, the system reaches an apparently stationary regime where the current flows from the reservoir with smaller density to the one with larger density.

Abstract

We present computer simulations run with a stochastic cellular automaton which describes $d=1$ particle systems connected to reservoirs which keep two different densities at the endpoints. We fix the parameters so that there is a phase transition (of the van der Waals type) and observe that if the densities at the boundaries are metastable then, after a transient, the system reaches an apparently stationary regime where the current flows from the reservoir with smaller density to the one with larger density.
