Abstract

The statistical theory of the transport coefficients which was formulated in a previous paper (Vasu, 1976) is exemplified here by the case of a two-fluid plasma in a magnetic field. In addition, a general method is given which allows us to calculate frequency dependent transport coefficients; this method is a natural extension of the paper mentioned above. In the static limit, the transport coefficients obtained for the two-fluid plasma in a magnetic field are similar to those reported by Braginsky (1963) although there are some numerical differences. The frequency dependent transport coefficients obtained here include important resonant and time lag effects.
