Abstract
The state of a mixture of n monatomic gases in the μ-phase space is characterized by a set of distribution functions f α ≡ f(x,c α ,t) with α = 1,2,...,n, such that f(x,c α ,t)dx dc α gives at time t the number of molecules of constituent α in the volume element whose position vectors are within the range x and x + dx, while the velocity vectors are within the range c α and c α + dc α .
