Springer Kinetic Theory of Gases and Plasmas - Physics Book

Explore the connection between non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and macroscopic physics with this comprehensive text from Springer. As part of the Fundamental Theories of Physics series, this book provides a deep look into the derivation of kinetic equations, covering their limitations and various generalizations. Readers will learn how to apply kinetic theory to describe physical phenomena and calculate transport coefficients effectively. This resource is designed to support the academic and professional growth of researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students in the field of physics. By bridging the gap between many-particle systems and phenomenological physics, this volume serves as a vital tool for understanding complex physical processes. Each chapter includes a dedicated section of exercises to help reinforce learning and practical application of the theories discussed.
