The Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes II. Transport in Gases
Abstract
By means of the methods developed in the first paper of this series, SMTI, the Maxwell-Boltzmann integro-differential equation, underlying the well-developed Chapman-Enskog theory of transport phenomena in gases of low density, is derived from the principles of statistical mechanics. The derivation supplements and clarifies the usual physical argument employed to establish this important equation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
