Description for The Boltzmann Equation and Its Applications
hardcover. Features an exposition of the present status of the theory of the Boltzmann equation and its applications. The Boltzmann equation, an integrodifferential equation established by Boltzmann in 1872 to describe the state of a dilute gas, forms the basis for the kinetic theory of gases. Series: Applied Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 468 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 167 x 242 x 35. Weight in Grams: 894.
Statistical mechanics may be naturally divided into two branches, one dealing with equilibrium systems, the other with nonequilibrium systems. The equilibrium properties of macroscopic systems are defined in principle by suitable averages in well-defined Gibbs's ensembles. This provides a frame work for both qualitative understanding and quantitative approximations to equilibrium behaviour. Nonequilibrium phenomena are much less understood at the present time. A notable exception is offered by the case of dilute gases. Here a basic equation was established by Ludwig Boltzmann in 1872. The Boltzmann equation still forms the basis for the kinetic theory of gases and has proved fruitful ... Read more
