Abstract

A model kinetic equation for the internal fluid of diatomic molecules which interacts with thermal radiation is proposed. The cross-collision term developed for the molecule-photon interaction has the property that molecules and the sum of internal and photon energies are conserved. An alternative approach to this term based on the product of two BGKW collision operators yields the same result. It is also shown that the proposed model leads to an H-theorem.
