Maxwell: the rise of statistical mechanics
Keyword(s):
Maxwell produced two publications on the kinetic theory of gases in which he proposed his eponymous velocity distribution of velocities, his theory on the equipartition of energy, and finally his famed transport equations. In this work he surprisingly predicted that gas viscosity is independent of density and then confirmed this finding in experiments he conducted with his wife.
