| The kinetic method based on the time-dependent Boltzmann transport equation is applied to the problem of transient phenomena in open systems. For this purpose the transport equation is numerically solved and the zeroth and first moments of the distribution function are determined as functions of time. The developed procedure allows one to find the transient current flowing through the system and to determine the equilibrium limit of these transport processes. |
