Problem 2.92

From the Maxwell distribution function find ⟨vx2⟩,\left\langle v_{x}^{2}\right\rangle, the mean value of the squared vxv_{x} projection of the molecular velocity in a gas at a temperature T.T . The mass of each molecule is equal to mm.

Reveal Answer
⟨vx2⟩=kT/m\left\langle v_{x}^{2}\right\rangle=k T / m
