The Boltzmann Equation

The Boltzmann Equation describes how the distribution of particles—such as molecules in a gas—changes over time due to their movements and interactions. It accounts for how particles diffuse, collide, and evolve in a system, balancing the flow of particles into and out of each state. This equation helps scientists understand phenomena like heat transfer, fluid flow, and gas dynamics by predicting how particles spread and interact in different conditions, bridging microscopic particle behavior with observable macroscopic properties like temperature and pressure.
