Interstellar space is quite different from the gaseous environments we commonly encounter on Earth. For instance, a typical density of the medium is about 1 atom cm−3 and that atom is typically H; the effective temperature due to stellar background radiation is about 10 kK. Estimate the diffusion coefficient and thermal conductivity of H under these conditions. Compare your answers with the values for gases under typical terrestrial conditions. Comment: Energy is in fact transferred much more effectively by radiation.
The pressure in interplanetary space is estimated to be of the order of 10^-14 Pa. Calculate:
A) the average number of molecules per cubic meter
B) the number of molecules colliding per cubic meter per second
C) the mean free path in miles.
Assume thay the only hydrogen atoms are present and free temperature is 1000k. Assume molecular diameter 0.2 mm.
Show complete solution, and round the final answer up to 4 decimal places.
The average translational kinetic energy for a molecule (Erans) is given
by the following equation:
Etrans =mv?
Where m is the mass of the molecule and v? is the average of the square
of the velocity. Given v2 = 3kT/m where k is the Boltzmann's constant,
calculate the ratio of the kinetic energies at 200 °C and 100 °C

In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules.
