| Abstract | Two competitive convergent kinetic equations for a one-component Coulomb plasma with small plasma parameter epsilon are discussed. It is shown how a Chapman-Enskog scheme can be set up to calculate the heat conductivity and the viscosity. Both kinetic equations are found to yield identical transport coefficients for small epsilon , at least in lowest order of the Chapman-Cowling truncation procedure. |
