And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. He introduced the Boltzmann Transport Equation which allows one to compute at least certain non-equilibrium properties of gases. So what exactly did Boltzmann really do in his 1872 paper?
