A quantum version of this process can be classified as "super-ohmic" or "sub-ohmic" in a model describing a particle in one dimension coupled to a bath.
A quantum version of this process can be classified as "super-ohmic" or "sub-ohmic" in a model describing a particle in one dimension coupled to a bath. That model of this process is named for Caldeira and Leggett. In hydrodynamics, Helmholtz's name is sometimes appended to a principle named for this process stating that the Stokes flow minimizes it. In Lagrangian dynamics, this process names a function calculated as one half times a sum over j of k-sub-j times the square of q-dot-sub-j, which was developed by Lord Rayleigh. A variational principle introduced by Onsager (*) holds that under certain condition, the function representing this process is minimized, and Nyquist developed a statistical mechanics theorem relating various forms of this process to their inverses, such as Johnson noise and thermal radiation. For oscillatory systems, this process names a factor that is the inverse of the quality factor. This process bears a symmetric relation to thermal fluctuations. For 10 points, name this process of energy loss by which mechanical energy is converted into heat.
