This book concerns itself with a precise measurement of the coefficient of viscosity of air (the thickness or stickiness of air). The author begins by establishing the historical context for this line of inquiry, giving credit to James Clerk Maxwell and his theoretical deductions from his kinetic theory of gases. Using experimental apparatus that the author demonstrates to be more precise than those that came before, this work presents findings that confirm Maxwell's century-old ideas. Refining our understanding of this coefficient has important implications for future investigations into a wide range of physical phenomena.
