Figure 1. Thought experiments comparing collisions in gas and mixed gasses under normal conditions. Figure (a) shows a random distribution of gases A and B in a sample volume traveling at a relative speed of vr in time t, and two possible distance d vs time trajectories. Figure (b) shows A and B diluted with C, and two possible trajectories between A and B. Where the flux of A is a function of time whose limit at infinity long time is used to calculate the collision frequency in the Smoluchowski rate model.
