Diffusive Processes

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is used to analyse the diffusive processes associated with a swarm of charged particles (ions or electrons) drifting in a neutral gas under the influence of an electric field. A simple approximate phenomenological relationship connecting components of the diffusion tensor with the drift velocity of the swarm is derived and the utility of the formula is illustrated in several cases where previous analyses have been carried out using the Boltzmann equation.
