Dynamical Theory Of Gases (1916)

The Dynamical Theory of Gases, written by J. H. Jeans in 1916, is a comprehensive study of the behavior of gases. The book provides a detailed analysis of the theoretical underpinnings of gas dynamics, including the laws of thermodynamics, kinetic theory, and the behavior of individual gas molecules. It also explores the practical applications of these theories, such as the behavior of gases in various physical systems and the design of gas-based technologies.Jeans begins the book by introducing the basic concepts of gas dynamics, including the properties of gases and the principles of thermodynamics. He then delves into the kinetic theory of gases, which describes the behavior of individual gas molecules and their interactions with each other. This theory is used to derive the equations of state for gases, which describe their behavior under different conditions of temperature, pressure, and volume.The book also covers more advanced topics in gas dynamics, such as the transport of heat and mass in gases, the propagation of sound waves, and the behavior of gases in magnetic fields. Jeans also explores the behavior of gases in various physical systems, such as the Earth's atmosphere, the sun, and the interstellar medium.Overall, The Dynamical Theory of Gases is a comprehensive and insightful study of the behavior of gases. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the fundamental principles of gas dynamics, as well as the practical applications of these theories in science and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
