The Mathematical Theory of Non-uniform Gases

An Account of the Kinetic Theory of Viscosity, Thermal Conduction and Diffusion in Gases

af Sydney (University of Alaska Chapman

This classic, now in paperback, discusses the mathematical theory of viscosity, thermal conduction and diffusion in non-uniform gases, based on the solutions of the Maxwell-Boltzmann equations. The theories of Chapman and Enskog, the quantum theory of collisions and the theory of conduction and diffusion in ionized gases in electric and magnetic fields are also detailed.
