    Kinetic theory and transport phenomena / Rodrigo Soto, Physics Department, Universidad de Chile.

    By: Soto, Rodrigo (Physicist) [author.]Material type: TextTextSeries: Oxford master series in physics: 25.; Oxford master series in condensed matter physics: ; Oxford master series in statistical, computational, and theoretical physics: Publisher: Oxford, United Kingdom ; New York, NY, United States of America : Oxford University Press, 2016Edition: First editionDescription: xvi, 259 pages : illustrations ; 26 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780198716051; 0198716052; 9780198716068; 0198716060; 9780191824401; 0191824402Subject(s): Kinetic theory of matter | Kinetic theory of matterDDC classification: 530.4/75 LOC classification: QC174.9 | .S67 2016
    Contents:
    Basic concepts -- Distribution functions -- The Lorentz model for the classical transport of charges -- The Boltzmann equation for dilute gases -- Brownian motion -- Plasmas and self-gravitating systems -- Quantum gases -- Quantum electronic transport in solids -- Semiconductors and interband transitions -- Numerical and semianalytical methods.
    Summary: This title presents the fundamentals of kinetic theory, considering classical paradigmatic examples as well as modern applications. It covers the most important systems where kinetic theory is applied, explaining their major features. The text is balanced between exploring the fundamental concepts of kinetic theory (irreversibility, transport processes, separation of time scales, conservations, coarse graining, distribution functions, etc.) and the results and predictions of the theory, where the relevant properties of different systems are computed.
