Abstract: The evolution of a two-velocity model gas, diffusing in a background gas and allowing for removal and regeneration events, is studied by means of a generalized Boltzmann equation. In order to gain insight into the evolution of more realistic models, general qualitative features are searched for in the relaxation to equilibrium. The results indicate that the background gas accelerates the evolution of the system, but does not perturb its equilibrium state. On the other hand, source terms modify the asymptotic distribution, according with their temporal dependence.
