In this paper, Maxwell analysed the encounters of molecules repelling each other with forces inversely proportional to the nth power of the distance and found that the variation of mean values of functions of the velocity due to encounters included the power V (n-5)/(n-1) of the relative velocity V of the two colliding molecules. In the case of inverse fifth-power forces (n = 5), the relative velocity drops out and the integrations can be carried out without knowing the non-equilibrium distribution function. These fictitious particles interacting with a repulsive force inversely proportional to the fifth power of their distance are called Maxwell molecules.
