Maxwell-Boltzmann Physics.|ˈmækswɛlˈbɒltsmən|
The names of J. C. Maxwell (see prec.) and L. Boltzmann (see Boltzmann), used (in some cases as an alternative to Maxwell or Boltzmann alone) to designate concepts arising out of their work on the kinetic theory of gases.
1901O. Lodge in Phil. Mag. II. 241 Any rotational energy possessed by a dumbbell about its longitudinal axis could have no influence on smooth collisions, and accordingly could not be transferred or altered in amount; therefore such rotation ought not to be included in the partition of energy within the meaning of the Maxwell-Boltzmann law when properly stated. 1927R. C. Tolman Statistical Mech. iv. 53 In a system containing a large number of molecules appreciable deviations from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution will have a very small probability of occurrence. 1951D. Bohm Quantum Theory i. 16 For a perfect gas..we obtain the familiar Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities. 1968M. S. Livingston Particle Physics iii. 58 In classical mechanics the distribution of thermal velocities and energies among the molecules of a gas, in thermal equilibrium due to the exchange of energy in random impacts, is described by Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics. |
