  • We consider a multi component gas mixture with translational and internal energy degrees of freedom without chemical reactions assuming that the number of particles of each species remains constant. We will illustrate the derived model in the case of two species, but the model can be generalized to multiple species. The two species are allowed to have different degrees of freedom in internal energy and are modeled by a system of kinetic Fokker-Planck equations featuring two interaction terms to account for momentum and energy transfer between the species. We prove consistency of our model: conservation properties, positivity of the temperatures, H-theorem and we characterize the equilibrium as two Maxwell distributions where all temperatures coincide.
