The semiclassical Boltzmann equation for electrons in semiconductors with the Kane dispersion law or the parabolic band approximation is considered and systems of moment equations with an arbitrary number of moments are derived. First, the paper deals with spherical harmonics in the formalism of...

A microscopic interface condition for condensing/evaporating interfaces is developed by combining a velocity dependent condensation probability [T. Tsuruta, H. Tanaka, T. Masuoka, Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 42 (1999) 4107] and Maxwell type interface conditions with accommodation. Using methods...

In this paper a new set of moment equations in relativistic kinetic theory is presented. The moments under consideration are the projections of particle 4-flux and energy momentum tensor with respect to the Eckart velocity or the Landau–Lifshitz velocity, alternatively. The moment equations...
