  2. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    The viscosity equation further presupposes that there is only one type of gas molecules, and that the gas molecules are perfect elastic and hard core particles of spherical shape. This assumption of elastic, hard core spherical molecules, like billiard balls, implies that the collision cross section of one molecule can be estimated by σ = π ...

  3. Brownian motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion

    In 1906 Smoluchowski published a one-dimensional model to describe a particle undergoing Brownian motion. [24] The model assumes collisions with M ≫ m where M is the test particle's mass and m the mass of one of the individual particles composing the fluid. It is assumed that the particle collisions are confined to one dimension and that it ...

  4. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    The ideal gas model depends on the following assumptions: The molecules of the gas are indistinguishable, small, hard spheres; All collisions are elastic and all motion is frictionless (no energy loss in motion or collision) Newton's laws apply; The average distance between molecules is much larger than the size of the molecules

  5. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The dilute gas viscosity contribution to the total viscosity of a fluid will only be important when predicting the viscosity of vapors at low pressures or the viscosity of dense fluids at high temperatures. The viscosity model for dilute gas, that is shown above, is widely used throughout the industry and applied science communities.

  6. Molecular diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diffusion

    Osmosis – Migration of molecules to a region of lower solute concentration; Permeation – Penetration of a liquid, gas, or vapor through a solid; Relativistic heat conduction – Model compatible with special relativity; Transport phenomena – Exchange of mass, energy, and momentum between observed and studied systems; Turbulent diffusion

  7. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  8. Gas kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_kinetics

    Gas dynamics is the overview of the average value in the distance between two molecules of gas that has collided with out ignoring the structure in which the molecules are contained. The field requires a great amount of knowledge and practical use in the ideas of the kinetic theory of gases, and it links the kinetic theory of gases with the ...

  9. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann...

    The term "particle" in this context refers to gaseous particles only (atoms or molecules), and the system of particles is assumed to have reached thermodynamic equilibrium. [1] The energies of such particles follow what is known as Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics , and the statistical distribution of speeds is derived by equating particle ...
