In physics (in particular in statistical mechanics), the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, or Maxwell (ian) distribution, is a particular probability distribution named after James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann.
Oct 8, 2024 · The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is a description of the statistical distribution of the energies of the molecules of a classical gas. This distribution was first set forth by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, on the basis of probabilistic arguments, and was generalized by Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann.

The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of energies is a handy little graph showing the energy distribution of all the molecules in a gas. The graph. The number of molecules is on the y-axis. The kinetic energy of the molecules is on the x-axis. The origin. No molecules have zero energy, so the curve passes through the origin at (0,0). The peak.
The Maxwell-Boltzmann equation, which forms the basis of the kinetic theory of gases, defines the distribution of speeds for a gas at a certain temperature. From this distribution function, the most probable speed, the average speed, and the root-mean-square speed can be derived.
Aug 15, 2024 · Three speed expressions can be derived from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution: the most probable speed, the average speed, and; the root-mean-square speed. The most probable speed is the maximum value on the distribution plot (Figure 27.3.4 ). This is established by finding the velocity when the derivative of Equation \(\ref{27.3.1}\) is zero
Aug 7, 2019 · Named after James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann, the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution describes particle speeds in an idealized gas, in which the particles rarely interact with each other except for the brief collisions where energy and momentum are affected.
