1. Boltzmann - Noun
2. Boltzmann - Proper noun
Austrian physicist who contributed to the kinetic theory of gases (1844-1906)
Source: WordNetBoltzmann argued that by averaging the behaviors of all the different molecules in a gas, one can understand macroscopic properties such as volume, temperature, and pressure. Source: Internet
As a result, the Boltzmann factor for states of systems at negative temperature increases rather than decreases with increasing state energy. Source: Internet
Because of this Boltzmann distribution can be used to solve a very wide variety of problems. Source: Internet
Boltzmann considered a certain ideal heat engine with light as a working matter instead of gas. Source: Internet
Boltzmann later carried out significant investigations into the physical origins of this distribution. Source: Internet
