Scientific paper

We consider an isolated gaseous system, divided in two parts by an adiabatic
movable frictionless internal wall undergoing Brownian motion. We show how this
kind of motion can lead to a substantial decrease of the system entropy. This
surprising result does not violate Boltzmann's H-theorem since the molecular
chaos assumption underlying H-theorem is not fulfilled by our system.
