Is the mean free path the mean of a distribution? [PDF]
American Journal of Physics, 2014 We bring attention to the fact that Maxwell's mean free path for a dilute hard-sphere gas in thermal equilibrium, (2σn)−1, which is ordinarily obtained by multiplying the average speed by the average time between collisions, is also the statistical mean of the distribution of free path lengths in such a gas.

Effective mean free path and viscosity of confined gases [PDF]
, 2019 The molecular mean free path (MFP) of gases in confined geometries is numerically evaluated by means of the direct simulation Monte Carlo method and molecular dynamics simulations.

Collision frequency and mean free path for plasmas described by kappa distributions
AIP Advances, 2019 The paper shows the surprising result of the universality of the mean-free-path formulation for plasmas described by kappa distributions. In particular, the ratio of the mean-free-path over the Debye length depends only on the Debye number – the number ...

Opinion: Influence of the mean free path of air on atmospheric particle growth [PDF]
Aerosol ResearchRecent studies by Tsalikis et al. (2023, 2024) predicted that the mean free path of air (λair) could be significantly smaller than widely used values by a factor of ∼ 2.

The effect of system boundaries on the mean free path for confined gases
AIP Advances, 2013 The mean free path of rarefied gases is accurately determined using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The simulations are carried out on isothermal argon gas (Lennard-Jones fluid) over a range of rarefaction levels under various confinements (unbounded gas,

Life before mean free path [PDF]
, 1999 A coherently amplifying medium containing dense random weak scatterers can exhibit mirror-less lasing beyond a threshold of optical pumping even when the active medium has linear dimensions much smaller than the estimated transport mean free path.

The importance of mean free path in determining gas flow behaviour
, 2010 We investigate whether a power-law form of probability distribution function better describes the free paths of dilute gas molecules in a confined system.
