A pioneering text in its field, this comprehensive study is one of the most valuable texts and references available. The author explores the classical kinetic theory in the first four chapters, with discussions of the mechanical picture of a perfect gas, the mean free path, and the distribution of molecular velocities. Tbhe fifth chapter deals with the more accurate equations of state, or Van der Waals' equation, and later chapters examine viscosity, heat conduction, surface phenomena, and Browninan movements. The text surveys the application of quantum theory to the problem of specific heats and the contributions of kinetic theory to knowledge of electrical and magnetic properties of molecules, concluding with applications of the kinetic theory to the conduction of electricity in gases. 1934 edition.

Basic Processes of Gaseous Electronics

Basic Processes of Gaseous Electronics is an advanced exploration into the field of gaseous electronics, building upon the foundational work presented in the author's earlier book, Fundamental Processes of Electrical Discharge in Gases (1939). The earlier book provided a comprehensive review of the subject, addressing gaps in knowledge and methodology that had emerged over decades of research. The current volume acknowledges the transformative advances in technology, theory, and experimental methods made over the intervening fifteen years, including innovations in microwave techniques, short-duration pulsed potentials, and high-speed oscilloscopes. These developments have enabled deeper insights into phenomena such as electron-energy distributions, ionization, recombination, and the mechanisms underlying electrical discharge. This book incorporates significant theoretical and experimental progress, including refinements in the kinetic theory of nonequilibrium gases and analyses of electron and ion behavior. Contributions from leading researchers and collaborative efforts within the scientific community have shaped its content, offering updated, critically evaluated data tables and new insights into processes like ionic drift, electron attachment, and the Townsend coefficients. While maintaining the logical structure of the earlier work, this volume introduces new topics, reorganizes chapters for clarity, and presents previously unpublished or cutting-edge findings. The book serves as both a foundational text for students and a reference for professionals, emphasizing simplified physical principles to aid comprehension of complex phenomena. Through this effort, the author seeks to advance the understanding of gaseous electronics and lay the groundwork for future studies and specialized works in the field.
