Solutions obtained from the general 13-moment system of transport equations are compared with those obtained from the standard collision-dominated transport equations for conditions corresponding to low-speed thermal proton flow in the topside ionosphere in the vicinity of the plasmapause. In general, the solutions obtained from the 13-moment system which allows for different species temperatures parallel and perpendicular to the geomagnetic field and nonclassical heat flows are different from those obtained from the standard transport equations, which account for isotropic temperatures and classical collision-dominated heat flows. Within the plasmasphere the differences are typically small, but outside the plasmasphere there can be significant differences between the 13-moment and standard solutions.
