Study Kinetic Theory: Deriving Boltzmann Equation from Liouville

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the Boltzmann equation from the Liouville equation within the context of kinetic theory. The user is studying R.L. Liboff's book, which utilizes Prigogine's method but has encountered difficulties. They seek additional reference materials to clarify their understanding of the derivation process. Suggestions include exploring online resources like Wikipedia and searching for "Boltzmann equation derivation." The conversation emphasizes the importance of finding comprehensive literature to aid in mastering this complex topic.

I am studying kinetic theory. The Boltzmann equation can be derived from the liouville equation, I want to know how to deduce it , which books explore the question.
I am reading a book( the title is kinetic theory, the author is R.L.Liboff), in this book the method proposed by Prigogine is used to do the work, but there are some questions I cannot understand, if there are some reference books which can be used to study the problem. Thanks.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
