Abstract
In this study vector and tensorial transport phenomena of heavy particles in partially ionized molecular plasmas embedded in magnetic fields are analyzed. The system of transport equations, obtained in the 17 moments approximation of the Grad’s method employing the general system of transport equations for reactive partially ionized plasmas in magnetic field obtained recently in (Zhdanov, Stepanenko, 2016), is presented. Using this system, the expressions for mass, heat and momentum transport fluxes of the heavy particles in plasma are derived. For the case of diffusion of ions, atoms and molecules the system of equations of multicomponent diffusion in the Stefan-Maxwell form is obtained.
