Statement

[Insert problem description here]

Example Statement:
Between two flat parallel plates located at a distance δ from each other, there
is a monatomic gas (the free path of atoms is much longer than δ). Estimate
the heat flux density if the temperature of the plates is maintained at T and
T + ∆T, respectively, and the unit volume of gas contains n' atoms; µ is the
mass of the atom

For problem $5.4.17$

Solution

[Your solution should be placed here]

Example Solution:
Heat flow is defined by

We know that the change of the energy is given by

Where (n) is the number of moles

We know that Heat flow then

We know that the time is given by because (the free path of atoms is much longer than δ) furthermore λ>>δ therefore the average collision between the molecules will be δ:

Likewise:

Now we have to:

So from the previous equations we have to:

Another way to write this equation is:

Where (n') is the number of the atoms per unit volume:

How ΔT<<T is much less than this

Introducing this velocity into the equation for the flow we have to
