Applicable Studies of the Slow Electrons Motion in Air with Application in the Ionosphere

Abstract

In this study, the motions of slow electrons in air and nitrogen with it'smixtures are studies by details. We solved numerically Boltzmann transportequation to calculate the parameters E, Vdand D/m have been possible to deduceexpression empirical formula from which may be derived the drift velocity,collisional frequencies, electronic temperature and mean energy loss per collision.These results applied to the ionosphere allow electronic collisional frequencies tobe ready found in the ionosphere below 94 km, from the pressure of the air. Thecollision cross-sections of the molecules of air and nitrogen when the electronicstemperature is less than about 2600°K.The addition results are presented for electrons drifting through air in a steadystate of motion under the action of the electric field, such as, KT, U, Q, Q0, ω,ω/P,h, hKT , and W/D for both Maxwell and Druyvesteyn distribution laws. Thisparameters are graphically as a functions for their variables.The results appeared excellent agreements with the experiments andtheoretical data.
