单词 Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution
释义
Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution

Physics
  • A law describing the distribution of speeds among the molecules of a gas. In a system consisting of N molecules that are independent of each other except that they exchange energy on collision, it is clearly impossible to say what velocity any particular molecule will have. However, statistical statements regarding certain functions of the molecules were worked out by James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann. One form of their law states that n=Nexp(−E/RT), where n is the number of molecules with energy in excess of E, T is the thermodynamic temperature, and R is the gas constant.

However, statistical statements regarding certain functions of the molecules were worked out by James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann. One form of their law states that n = Nexp(–E/RT), where n is the number of molecules with energy in excess of E, T is the thermodynamic temperature, and R is the gas constant The law was derived by Maxwell in 1860 and discussed in detail by Boltzmann in 1872 and 1877.


Chemical Engineering
  • A mathematical function used in the kinetic theory of gases. It is derived on the basis of statistical mechanics and gives the distribution of particle velocities in a gas at a particular temperature.
