Abstract

We consider two models for a two component gas mixture with translational and internal energy degrees of freedom described by a BGK approximation assuming that the number of particles of each species remains constant. The two species are allowed to have different degrees of freedom in internal energy and are modelled by a system of kinetic BGK equations featuring two interaction terms to account for momentum and energy transfer between the species. We consider two models in the literature and prove that the models satisfy a different equation of state than the ideal gas law. Moreover, we prove that for these models there exist a unique positive solution.
