The energy balance in the cosmic ray-solar wind system is analyzed. The transfer equation is used to obtain an equation for the cosmic-ray energy density as well as an expression for the cosmic-ray energy flux-density vector. It is found that depending on the specific form of the cosmic-ray distribution function, both particle acceleration (which is characteristic for galactic cosmic rays) and deceleration (appropriate to solar cosmic rays) are possible. A particle-number conservation law in phase space is formulated for cosmic-ray charged particles and shown to be consistent with the requirements stipulated by the equation for cosmic-ray energy density.
