ni the number of moleculesof in vy vy + dvy Equilibrium distribution dn isthe number of molecules nearv
Meaning of dn/N amongN molecules, how many are near v probability that one molecule is near v proportional to dvx ...
Isotropic assumption The solution is The probability should be normalized
a each normalized a 12
Known while
For unit volume Maxwell velocity distribution
Maxwell speed distribution Most probable speed For one molecule, what speed is most possible? Among N molecules, what is the speed most molecules have in unit interval?

Then mean free path is Only a factor different from dimension analysis result.
Conduction Transport phenomena Heat transfer : conduction convection thermal radiation diffusion viscosity thermal conductivity Fourier’s law
Diffusion Fick’s law Viscosity 6
For mass transport, In general:
Hydrogen under STP r = 1.12×10−10m
