Dear Sreekant,
I think I’ve solved this as what I’ve demonstrated in the following emails:
Please check it for me, thanks

Dear Aidian,
Thanks for your reply. And I find your solution is good to conserve the total kinetic
energy but not for linear momentum conservation.
My solution I showed yesterday considerred conservation of the total energy and momentum of the two atoms with two equations in the following.
m1 v12 + m2 v22 = m1 v32 + m2 v42 (1)
m1 v1 + m2 v2 = m1 * v3 + m2 * v4 (2)
in the two equations above, v1, v2 are the old velocities of the hot and cold atoms, and v3, v4 are the new associated velocities.
Through the equations I got v3 and v4 being the funcions of v1, v2, and m1, m2
