algebraic equation giving the number dN of particles of a quantized system in equilibrium, the velocity components of which are included in the intervals (u, u + du), (v, v + dv), (w, w + dw) :
respectively:
where
N is the total number of particles
m is the mass of the particle
T is the thermodynamic temperature
k is the Boltzmann constant
h is the Planck constant
E is the kinetic energy of a particle,
EM is the inner work function
dN/N represents the probability that a particle has its components within the intervals considered.
