Abstract
SINCE the days when the kinetic theory of gases was founded by Clausius, Maxwell and Boltzmann, great changes have taken place in the scope and bearing of the descendent theory. Taking a wide view of its present field, the qualification “of gases” has become a misnomer. One can see that the ultimate scope of the descendent of the kinetic theory of gases must be the whole field of the properties of matter in bulk, derived from the atomic constitution of matter and from the properties of atoms and their interactions. The present scope of the theory falls short of such inclusiveness, but not so far short as to leave any doubts for the future. The Mathematical Theory of Non-Uniform Gases An Account of the Kinetic Theory of Viscosity, Thermal Conduction, and Diffusion in Gases. By Prof. Sydney Chapman and Dr. T. G. Cowling. Pp. xxiii + 404.
