Table of Contents
Stellar Evolution Physics; Preface; Part IV Transport processes, weak interaction processes, and helium-burning reactions; 12 Particle diffusion and gravitational settling; 12.1 Moments of the Boltzmann transport equation for a species under conditions of complete equilibrium; 12.2 A monoelemental gas in complete equilibrium at constant temperature in a constant gravitational field; 12.3 Diffusion velocities and moments in a multicomponent gas in a gravitational field; 12.4 The strength of the electrostatic field when equilibrium with respect to diffusion prevails.
