Product Description
This classic book, now reissued in paperback, presents a detailed account of the mathematical theory of viscosity, thermal conduction, and diffusion in non-uniform gases based on the solution of the Maxwell-Boltzmann equations. The theory of Chapman and Enskog, describing work on dense gases, quantum theory of collisions, and the theory of conduction and diffusion in ionized gases in the presence of electric and magnetic fields is also included in the later chapter… More >>

Chapman and Cowling’s outstanding work for kinetic thoery.
This book is regarded as a Classic in this field. However,
the notations are not so farmiliar to me. So I was somewhat perplexed at first.
more introductory texts are,
J. Jeans ‘ An introduction to the kinetic theory of gases’
E.H. Kennard ‘Kinetic theory of gases with an introduction to statistical mechanics’

The book deals with the classical statistical machanics approach of describing gases; it shows how properties as pressure, viscosity and heat flux can be derived. It shows this for dense and dilute gases, and for gas-mixtures.
