The Methods of Chapman-Enskog and Grad and Applications

Abstract

We may say that one of the main objectives of the kinetic theory is to describe the macroscopic properties of gases like pressure, temperature, thermal conductivity, viscosity, diffusion, etc. from microscopic quantities that are associated with the molecules which compose the gases like mass, velocity, kinetic energy, internal degrees of freedom and interaction forces between the molecules.
