Abstract

The relative velocity distribution of molecules of ideal gas is found to possess the same function form as the velocity distribution,which is due to the similar statistical properties they satisfy.The constant in this function is difficult to determine for the former and we have completed this by employing a familiar relation which generally being used in an approximate discussion of the average relative velocity. Then the average relative velocity is calculated.
