  2. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    The kinetic theory of gases deals not only with gases in thermodynamic equilibrium, but also very importantly with gases not in thermodynamic equilibrium. This means using Kinetic Theory to consider what are known as "transport properties", such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, mass diffusivity and thermal diffusion.

  3. Gas kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_kinetics

    Gas kinetics is a science in the branch of fluid dynamics, concerned with the study of motion of gases and its effects on physical systems.Based on the principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, gas dynamics arises from the studies of gas flows in transonic and supersonic flights.

  4. Diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion

    μ is the mobility of the particle in the fluid or gas, which can be calculated using the Einstein relation (kinetic theory). m is the mass of the particle. t is time. At long time scales, Einstein's result is recovered, but short time scales, the ballistic regime are also explained.

  5. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant for a particular temperature and amount of gas.. Boyle's law states that when the temperature of a given mass of confined gas is constant, the product of its pressure and volume is also constant.

  6. Kinetic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory

    Kinetic theory may refer to: Kinetic theory of matter: A general account of the properties of matter, including solids liquids and gases, based around the idea that heat or temperature is a manifestation of atoms and molecules in constant agitation. Kinetic theory of gases, an account of gas properties in terms of motion and interaction of ...

  7. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    From the kinetic theory of gases, [20] thermal conductivity of principal carrier i (p, e, f and ph) is =,, where n i is the carrier density and the heat capacity is per carrier, u i is the carrier speed and λ i is the mean free path (distance traveled by carrier before an scattering event). Thus, the larger the carrier density, heat capacity ...

  8. Kinetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic

    Kinetic (Ancient Greek: κίνησις “kinesis”, movement or to move) may refer to: Kinetic theory , describing a gas as particles in random motion Kinetic energy , the energy of an object that it possesses due to its motion

  9. Einstein relation (kinetic theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_relation_(kinetic...

    In physics (specifically, the kinetic theory of gases), the Einstein relation is a previously unexpected [clarification needed] connection revealed independently by William Sutherland in 1904, [1] [2] [3] Albert Einstein in 1905, [4] and by Marian Smoluchowski in 1906 [5] in their works on Brownian motion.
