Thisbookdealswith theclassicalkinetictheoryofgases.Itsaimisto present the basic principles of this theory within an elementary framework and from a more rigorous approach based on the Boltzmann equation. The subjects are presented in a self-contained manner such that the readers can und- stand and learn some methods used in the kinetic theory of gases in order to investigate the Boltzmann equation. In Chapter 1, a sketch on the evolution of the ideas of the kinetic theory is presented. Afterwards, the basic principles of an elementary kinetic theory areintroduced,which arebasedonthe concepts ofmean freepath, molecular mean velocity and mean free time. The Maxwellian distribution function is ... Read more

Reviews for An Introduction To The Boltzmann Equatio
From the reviews: “Kremer has written a book with a focus on engineering perspectives and applications of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation, well suited for an advanced course. … this book is very well suited as a graduate introduction to the Boltzmann equation and its variants. It is also a good reference for those who wish to apply kinetic theory ... Read more
