Product Description
This work presents the concepts, methods and applications of kinetic theory to rarefied gas dynamics. After introducing the basic tools, Carlo Cercignani treats problems in plane geometry using all the approximation techniques. He later uses these same techniques to deal with two- and three-dimensional problems. The models include not only monatomic but also polyatomic gases, mixtures, chemical reactions. A special chapter is devoted to evaporation and condensation … More >>

Good book. I’m mostly interested in evaporation/condensation phenomena in a gas, the book provides review of history of development of the field (with references), and also provides comprehensive analysis with derivations.
