… In the present monograph, on the basis of the methods of kinetic theory, we study non-equilibrium
flows of multi-component mixtures consisted of molecular gases with translational, …

… nonequilibrium effects is an open issue. Via the Chapman–Enskog analysis, the local
nonequilibrium particle velocity distribution function is derived from the gas kinetic theory. It is …

… In ordinary kinetic theory we represent an instantaneous gas state by a cloud of points in
a 6-… with the kinetic theory description of non-equilibrium processes in relativistic gases. …

Abstract Kinetic theory of fluids plays an important role in understanding and modeling mass,
momentum and energy transfer between the vapor and liquid phase in non-equilibrium two-…

… We expect that the text may be useful to students and researchers in nonequilibrium
statistical-mechanics, kinetic theory of rarefied gases, irreversible thermodynamics, physical …

… effects of recombination). This equation contains the ‘equilibrium’ parameter of the Lighthill
theory plus a further ‘non-equilibrium… The behaviour of this gas is investigated in flow through …

… , to the fluid mechanical aspects of a gas at the macroscopic level. This requires us to … one
of the first key successes of kinetic theory. We will find that kinetic theory relies on the use of …

… In [38], via the Chapman-Enskog analysis, the local particle velocity distribution function of
reactive flow is derived from the gas kinetic theory. In short, on the NS level, the local particle …
