| Abstract: | Starting from the Liouville equation, the kinetic equations for a finely dispersed rarefied gas-particle medium are derived. The size of the suspension particles is assumed to be much less than the free path of the gas molecules, while their density is so small that interaction between the particles can be neglected. It is shown that in general the dynamics of this gas suspension can be described by a system of two kinetic equations, which differ radically from the Boltzmann equations. Novosibirsk.
