First steps in development of a translational non equilibrium model using maximum entropy principle (2019-12-11)This thesis elaborates the steps taken in the development of a model for flows that are in translational non-equilibrium. The backbone of the model relies on Boltzmann equation for gases as a starting point. Three mathematical ...
