Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the behavior of gases on a molecular level using the Boltzmann equation. The author meticulously crafts an analysis of sound propagation and modeling in kinetic theory. By investigating the equation's dispersion relation, the book reveals the existence of an infinite number of propagating and diffusing modes within a gas. These modes, each with their own unique decay time, paint a picture of the evolution of a gas over time. The book uncovers a fascinating interplay between hydrodynamic and non-hydrodynamic modes, highlighting the presence of extraordinary sound propagation speeds. The author's approach not only provides a deeper understanding of gas dynamics but also offers valuable insights into the limitations of macroscopic equations commonly used to describe gas behavior. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
