where we have used<br />

n i<br />

τ ie<br />

= n e<br />

τ ei<br />

m e v Te<br />

m i v Ti<br />

θ (66)<br />

for the ion-electron coefficients.<br />

Problem 3-4 (20 pts). Ignoring all other coefficients not listed in Eqs. (50-59),<br />

express R e and R i in terms of moments with nonvanishing collision coefficients<br />

 ei ,  ie , and ˆB ie and show the momentum conservation law, R e + R i = 0.<br />

Assuming n 0k<br />

e = 0 for k > 0, show that<br />

Q i = −3µn e τ −1<br />

ei<br />

(T i − T e )<br />

and (the energy conservation law)<br />

<br />

Q e = −Q i − V ei · R e .<br />
