Mean free path of molecules
So in the book concepts in thermal physics(by Stephan and Katherine Blundell) the expression of mean scattering time is derived as shown(please refer the book for more). If we replace vdt in the ...

Mean free path for charged molecule inside air
Question
I would like to compute the mean free path ($\lambda$) for a "heavy" charged molecule ($M$amu, $q$ charge) in a low pressure gaz (air, but also ions such as Ca$^+$). I think I figured out ...

How is the waveform deviation from the equilibrium related to the air molecule movement?
I'm not sure if this is a stupid question. I've been considering the deviation from the equilibrium reflects the air pressure, with larger deviations reflecting higher air pressure. But in Reetz and ...

Molecular mean free path probability
Let's let $p(\xi)$ be the probability a molecule travels at least $\xi$ between collisions, lets say $\xi=0.01$. When I think of this statement, I think it it is the probability the molecule is able ...
