A Treatise On The Kinetic PDF Download

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Kinetic: Theory of Gases My object in the following treatise is to apply to the Kinetic Theory of Gases a method of analysis different from that generally employed. It has been treated always on a certain fundamental assumption, namely, that the molecules of a gas are, as regards their relative motion, independent of one another. From this independence and from this from of Q are deduced Boltzmann's theorems, namely the H theorem, and that of the equality of mean kinetic energy for each degree of freedom. Here b is a negative function of the distance r at the instant considered between the two molecules whose velocities are u, ú, etc., which function is inappreciable except for very small values of r. I shall endeavour to prove in Chapters IV., V. that without the b coefficients the motion cannot be stationary. It has been proved abundantly that, assuming the independence, the motion is stationary with the usual form of Q. I question the axiom, not the demonstration.
