22. The following simple expression of the boundary condition is complete but is sometimes misunderstood. The velocity distribution function f gives the complete information of the Boltzmann system. It is determined by the Boltzmann equation if its part for the molecules leaving the boundary is specified. This should not be confused with the physical process in formulating the boundary condition. For example, the effect is the same irrespective of the origin of the molecules leaving the boundary if the part of the velocity distribution function for the molecules leaving there is the same.
