Abstract: Transport phenomena in molecular gases and the respective field effects have so far been analyzed in the hydrodynamic and Knudsen regimes. In between there is a rather large gap covered by the transition regime. For the case of heat conduction through a diatomic diamagnetic gas between parallel plates an attempt is made to partially bridge the gap by the beginning of a density expansion derived through iteration of an integral form of the Boltzmann equation. Second-order perturbation in non-sphericity of both intermolecular and gas-wall interactions is applied to determine the effect of a magnetic field. Explicit expressions are derived for a simple model.
