Transport coefficients of a chemically reacting plasma

Abstract
The analysis for the calculation of the transport coefficients of a chemically reacting partially ionized gas in the presence of a magnetic field is presented here. Taking the phenomenological kinetic equations and considering the ionization and recombination processes only due to electron impact parameter, the Chapman–Enskog method is used to obtain these transport coefficients. Sample numerical calculations are made for the transport coefficients of a potassium-seeded argon gas.
