KINETIC THEORY OF AN IONIZED GAS. PART II
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4170258
The Boltzmann equations for the two components of a plasma are given and the equations of hydrodynamics for a binary gas are derived. Collisions of unlike particles are treated. It is shown that if the system is left alone, it will approach an equilibrium state in which the distribution functions are of the Maxwell form. A solution of the Boltzmann equation by the Chapman-Cowling procedure (successive approximations) is given and expressions for the coefficients of viscosity, thermal conduction and electric conductivity were derived. The variation method of Hirschfelder et al. is described and applied to the calculation of the above coefficients. (For Part I see AERE-TR2247). (C.J.G.)
