Summary: 1
Elementary gas kinetic theory.
Today we will give kinetic theory definitions to main macroscopic
properties of a gas and discuss molecular magnitude.
Main gas macroparameters:

P - pressure

T - temperature

- mean (average, flow) velocity

- thermal velocity

- Root-mean-square thermal speed
We will also derive the equation of state of ideal gas and introduce
the absolute temperature scale.
