English: The effect of evaporative cooling on a Boltzmann velocity distribution of Rubidium atoms. Here a gas of 1 million atoms initially at ~300 K loses the fastest 5% of the gas on every step of the plot, reducing the mean velocity and temperature of the distribution, as well as the total number of atoms.
