Abstract

For a multi-component and multi-temperature gas-mixture the matrix elements of the linearized Boltzmann collision operator are investigated for isotropic interaction potentials. The representation by means of Burnett basis functions simplifies the algebraic structure and enables closed expressions for the general results, which can also be used for an investigation of inelastic collisions. For the elastic case those collision terms are given explicitely which appear in the balance equations for mass, momentum, energy and heat flux-vector.
