Abstract: Transport properties of a collisionless molecular gas between plane-parallel plates are influenced by a magnetic field because of precession of the molecules after polarization by surface collisions. A systematic analysis of phenomena of this kind is attempted by considering mass flow in two directions and heat flow in three directions, together with the five conjugate thermodynamic forces. For the case of diamagnetic linear rigid molecules, the phenomenological coefficients are expressed by matrix elements involving the surface scattering operator. Explicit expressions are derived for a simple model of that operator.
