Kinetic Theory of Gases
The present text is based on a set of lectures given as part of a post graduate course in fluid mechanics at the Department of Mechanics, KTH School of Engineering Sciences. The topic of kinetic gas theory was chosen as to broaden the students knowledge in the field of fluid mechanics in general. In particular the students should get a new perspective on the contiuum theory approach applied in ...
متن کاملIII. Kinetic Theory of Gases
• Kinetic theory studies the macroscopic properties of large numbers of particles, start ing from their (classical) equations of motion. Thermodynamics describes the equilibrium behavior of macroscopic objects in terms of concepts such as work, heat, and entropy. The phenomenological laws of thermody namics tell us how these quantities are constrained as a system approaches its equilibrium. A...
متن کاملKinetic Integrals in the Kinetic Theory of dissipative gases
The kinetic theory of gases, including Granular Gases, is based on the Boltzmann equation. Many properties of the gas, from the characteristics of the velocity distribution function to the transport coefficients may be expressed in terms of functions of the collision integral which we call kinetic integrals. Although the evaluation of these functions is conceptually straightforward, technically...
متن کاملViscosity Calculation of Supercritical Gases Based on the Rainwater-Friend Theory and the Modified Enskog Theory
A new correlation function for the calculation of viscosity for five typical supercritical gases is presented using the rainwater-Friend and modified Enskog theory. It is shown that by using accurate value for the thermal pressure and co-volume in the modified Enskog theory, this correlation function is suitable for calculation of the viscosity of supercritical gases, without any density an...
متن کاملFluid Dynamic Limits of the Kinetic Theory of Gases
These three lectures introduce the reader to recent progress on the hydrodynamic limits of the kinetic theory of gases. Lecture 1 outlines the main mathematical results in this direction, and explains in particular how the Euler or NavierStokes equations for compressible as well as incompressible fluids, can be derived from the Boltzmann equation. It also presents the notion of renormalized sol...
