Abstract
In Chapter 5 the hydrodynamic equations of a simple gas were derived from the Boltzmann equation and the coefficients of viscosity and heat conduction were calculated. In Chapter 6 weakly ionized gases were treated as Lorentz gases and diffusion coefficients and electrical conductivity appeared as new transport coefficients which were again calculated from the Boltzmann equation. In the case of fully ionized plasmas the Landau equation proved to be a tractable starting point for similar calculations.
