| 31. | Maxwell helped develop the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution, a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases.
|
| 32. | The question is about the speed of the molecules and that will be given by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.
|
| 33. | Consider a uniform plasma, with thermal electrons distributed according to the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution with the temperature T _ e.
|
| 34. | The Maxwell Boltzmann distribution is a mathematical function that speaks about how many particles in the container have a certain energy.
|
| 35. | Below are useful results from the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution for an ideal gas, and the implications of the Entropy quantity.
|
| 36. | For example, an ideal gas whose distribution function has stabilised to a specific Maxwell Boltzmann distribution would be in thermal equilibrium.
|
| 37. | Any particles in a gas are distributed across a wide range of energies in a spectrum known as the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution.
|
| 38. | :: Another way to think of it is to consider the Boltzmann distribution of the water molecules at any given temperature.
|
| 39. | Another possibility is to rely on a physical process, like quantum annealing, that naturally generates samples from a Boltzmann distribution.
|
| 40. | In the low density limit, the Bose-Einstein and the Fermi-Dirac distribution each reduce to the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution.
