5.3 Transport processes in gases<br />

5.3.1 The general transport equation<br />

I Definition of the flux −→ J of a quantity: We consider a generic transport property<br />

Γ (5.98)<br />

which differs in magnitude along the direction, i.e., has the gradient<br />

grad Γ (5.99)<br />

The flux of Γ throughanarea in time is defined as<br />

andcanbewrittenas<br />

−→ Γ = Γ<br />

<br />

(5.100)<br />

−→ Γ = − grad Γ (5.101)<br />

Kinetic gas theory allows us to derive a general equation for the proportionality constant<br />
