Abstract
Multiterm calculations of energy distributions and transport coefficients of electrons in real and model gases acted upon by d.c. electric fields have recently been done by the authors with a new theory, developed to overcome known limitations of the conventional approach. In all of our previous calculations, gas temperature has always been neglected, for analytical and numerical simplicity. In this paper it is shown how this unphysical limitation can be removed. The real impact of a gas temperature different from zero is also studied by specific calculations of transport coefficients and energy distributions in Ar and Hg at very low values of the field.
