Description for Kinetic Theory of Gases in Shear Flows
Hardback. Provides a study about how a dilute gas described by the Boltzmann equation responds under extreme nonequilibrium conditions. This book focuses on shear flows with simple geometries, both for single gases and for gas mixtures. It analyzes topics such as non-Newtonian or rheological transport properties and diffusion in a strongly sheared mixture. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 319 pages, 16 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHFG; PHH; PHS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 680.
The kinetic theory of gases as we know it dates to the paper of Boltzmann in 1872. The justification and context of this equation has been clarified over the past half century to the extent that it comprises one of the most complete examples of many-body analyses exhibiting the contraction from a microscopic to a mesoscopic description. The primary result is that the Boltzmann equation applies to dilute gases with short ranged interatomic forces, on space and time scales large compared to the corresponding atomic scales. Otherwise, there is no a priori limitation on the state of the system. This ... Read more
