An expression for the entropy production has been derived on the basis of which it is argued that the choice of reference frame as proposed by Landau and Lifshitz is to be preferred rather than any other possibility.
Expressions are given for the space attenuation coefficient of hydromagnetic waves in a relativistic plasma. By taking into account all transport processes known from the Chapman-Enskog procedure a hitherto unnoticed dissipative effect is found. A comparison is made with the attenuation of sound wav
## Abstract In the kinetic theory a great variety of physical systems is investigated by means of Boltzmannβlike equations. This approach is used for neutral gases, neutron as well as radiation transport, plasmas etc. For many problems the knowledge of the properties of the collision operators is o
