Transport coefficients of a relativistic plasma

Using the notation of Braginskii,  Steven Rose, Chair of Plasma Physics Imperial College London,  discusses semianalytical forms of the electrical resistivity, thermoelectric, and thermal conductivity tensors for a Lorentzian plasma in a magnetic field. This treatment is then generalized to plasmas with arbitrary atomic number by numerically solving the linearized Boltzmann equation.
