Maxwell Boltzmann Velocity Distribution

From statistical arguments and also from experiments the so called Maxwell Boltzmann distribution can be derived. This indicates the portion of the gas constituents having a specific velocity in thermal equilibrium.

absolute temperature T in K:
elementary masses m in u:
velocity v in m/s:

How to use:

Simply insert a value for each variable and press the calc button. The value will be printed. Alternatively you can create graphics if you insert for one variable a range like 1.0:3:0. If you have any problem, please contact the webmaster.
