Mean free time (MFT) refers to the average time interval between two successive collisions or interactions of particles, such as atoms or molecules, in a given medium. It is an important concept in fields like statistical mechanics, kinetic theory, and gas dynamics. In a gas, for example, as molecules move and collide with one another, the mean free time quantifies the average duration between these collisions.
