Boltzmann's equation has taken on
a  particular  practical  significance. However,  it  is  no  longer  the  exclusive
property  of  the  fluid  physicist.  One  finds  Boltzmann’s  equation,  or
Boltzmann-like equations, extensively used in such disparate fields as laser
scattering,  solid-state  physics,  nuclear  transport,  and  even  outside  the
conventional boundaries of physics and engineering in the fields of cellular
proliferation and automobile traffic flow. It is especially significant that at a
time when the method of time correlation functions seemed to be usurping
much of the Boltzmann equation’s earlier domain of transport theory such a
veritable cornucopia of new uses for this equation should arise.The Boltzmann equation or Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) describes the statistical behaviour of a thermodynamic system not in a state of equilibrium;
