Abstract

A nonequilibrium distribution function in the presence of a heat flux at the interface between two crystals has been investigated in the model of a one-dimensional harmonic chain. Matching conditions of distribution functions for different sides from the interface have been derived. A method for the calculation of the boundary thermal resistance using the generalized Enskog-Chapman method has been proposed. The exact formula has been derived with simplifying assumptions.
