Information

Thermal independity describes the extent to which an exchange of thermal energy between species causes or requires a temperature difference.

This function is based on the kinetic theory of gases under the following assumptions [Present1958]:

  1. The particles are smooth and rigid but elastic spheres with identical radii. This is the "billiard-ball" assumption, and it implies that the collisions are instantaneous and conserve kinetic energy.
  2. Between collisions, particles have no influence on one another.
  3. The mean free path, or average distance a particle travels between collisions, is much larger than the diameter of a particle.
  4. The properties carried by a particle depend only on those of the last particle with which it collided.
  5. The speeds of the particles follow the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

Also, it is assumed that the Einstein relation applies.
