The dependence of the distribution functions for a gas mixture on the translational degrees of freedom is treated by means of superpositions of Gaussian distributions. The internal degrees of freedom of the gas molecules are taken into account by a Laplace transformation. After the general...

The representation of the velocity distribution function for a gas as Gauss-Weierstrass transformation allows the transformation of the kinetic equation for its determination into the argument space of the Gaussian shifts. The transformed version of the Boltzmann equation is discussed for...
