The Swedish physicst David Enskog (1884-1947) ".is best known for his develpment of a method for solving the Maxwell-Boltzmann transport equations in the kinetic theory of gases." (D.S.B.). Maxwell was unable to determine the velocity distribution function in a nonequilibrium gas. Some advance on this problem was made in 1911 by Enskog in Sweden and Sydney Chapman in England. However, more satisfactory results were obtained when Enskog capitalized on a 1912 Hilbert short paper. ". (He) immediately saw the value of Hilbert's approach and used it with some modifications to work out a systematic series expansion of the velocity distribution function. The results were presented in his 1917 dissertation at Uppsala . the main impact of the work of Enskog and Chapman before 1920 was not apparent until after 1945, when it provided the basis for a revival of activity in kinetic theory, including applications to phenomena such as sound propagation, shock waves, aerodynamics, the behavior of electrons in metals, and the diffusion of neutrons in nuclear reactors." (D.S.B.).
