It extends the existing literature in mathematics for one species of gas to the case of gasmixtures. This is more realistic in applications. Thepresentedmodel for gas mixtures is proven to be consistentmeaning it satisfies theconservation laws, it admitsanentropy and an equilibriumstate. Furthermore, we can guarantee the existence, uniqueness and positivity of solutions. Moreover, the model is used for different applications, for example inplasma physics, for fluids with a small deviation from equilibrium and in the case of polyatomic gases.}, subject = {Polyatomare Verbindungen}, language = {en} }
