Kinetic Theory

Kinetic Theory is a theoretical framework in statistical mechanics that explains the macroscopic properties of matter through the statistical behavior of its microscopic constituent particles, particularly by analyzing their motion and collisions in the context of irreversible processes and transport phenomena described by equations such as the Boltzmann Transport Equation.
