Abstract: The plane Couette problem for a Knudsen gas of linear molecules is considered. The rotational degrees of freedom of the molecules are described through the internal angular momentum. An alignment of the molecules is produced by the orientation dependence of the interaction of the gas molecules with the plates bounding the gas. The presence of a constant magnetic field is taken into account. The tensor describing the influence of the molecular alignment on polarization is evaluated.
