Consider the following heat flow equation, derived in problem 8.11 (in Chapter 8), for a stationary electron gas immersed in a magnetic field,

Show that this equation can be written in the form

where K denotes the dyadic thermal conductivity coefficient, given by

where

Data from Problem 8.11.

Using the relaxation model (or Krook collision model) for the collision term,

and the ideal gas law P_e = n_ekT_e, show that the heat flow equation becomes

where

is the thermal conductivity.
