Kinetic Theory of Gases and Plasmas: Some Modern Aspects

Kinetic theory can be used to deduce some of the equilibrium properties of gases, but the methods of statistical thermodynamics are more powerful in that respect. The importance of kinetic theory lies in its ability to describe nonequilibrium phenomena such as the transport of heat or of momentum in a slightly nonuniform gas or the scattering of molecules by other molecules. The book deals with the propagation and absorption of high frequency waves in plasmas.
