  2. Chapman–Enskog theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapman–Enskog_theory

    Chapman–Enskog theory provides a framework in which equations of hydrodynamics for a gas can be derived from the Boltzmann equation. The technique justifies the otherwise phenomenological constitutive relations appearing in hydrodynamical descriptions such as the Navier–Stokes equations .

  3. David Enskog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Enskog

    The fusion of Chapman's and Enskog's theories later became known as the Chapman–Enskog method for solving the Boltzmann equation. In a 1939 book called The Mathematical Theory of Non-Uniform Gases, written by Chapman and Thomas Cowling and dedicated to David Enskog, the authors expanded this theory under the Chapman-Enskog designation.

  4. Mass diffusivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_diffusivity

    At moderate densities (i.e. densities at which the gas has a non-negligible co-volume, but is still sufficiently dilute to be considered as gas-like rather than liquid-like) this simple relation no longer holds, and one must resort to Revised Enskog Theory. [9] Revised Enskog Theory predicts a diffusion coefficient that decreases somewhat more ...

  5. Gas exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_exchange

    Gas exchange is the physical process by which gases move passively by diffusion across a surface. For example, this surface might be the air/water interface of a water body, the surface of a gas bubble in a liquid, a gas-permeable membrane, or a biological membrane that forms the boundary between an organism and its extracellular environment.

  6. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    The transfer of momentum between molecules is explicitly accounted for in Revised Enskog theory, which relaxes the requirement of a gas being dilute. 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.

  7. Cutaneous respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_respiration

    Cutaneous respiration, or cutaneous gas exchange (sometimes called skin breathing), [1] is a form of respiration in which gas exchange occurs across the skin or outer integument of an organism rather than gills or lungs. Cutaneous respiration may be the sole method of gas exchange, or may accompany other forms, such as ventilation.

  9. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).
