If one considers the kinetic theory of gases, can a first order estimate of thermal transfer be performed by considering momentum exchange at the container's surface?
I understand the basics of explaining and calculating pressure with the kinetic theory of gases, but if we assume energy is transferred between the gas molecules and those of the container in each component collision, can this give us an estimate of heat flux between the contained gas and the container, if they are at different temperatures?
