  Fluid flows such as gases or liquids exhibit space-time fluctuations on all
scales extending down to molecular scales. Such broadband continuum
fluctuations characterise all dynamical systems in nature and are identified as
selfsimilar fractals in the newly emerging multidisciplinary science of
nonlinear dynamics and chaos. A cell dynamical system model has been developed
by the author to quantify the fractal space-time fluctuations of atmospheric
flows. The earth's atmosphere consists of a mixture of gases and obeys the gas
laws as formulated in the kinetic theory of gases developed on probabilistic
assumptions in 1859 by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell. An alternative theory
using the concept of fractals and chaos is applied in this paper to derive
these fundamental gas laws.
