Diffusion and heat flow equations for a mixture consisting of two major ion species, electrons, and a number of minor ion species in the midlatitude topside ionosphere are derived in an approximation equivalent to the second-order multicomponent formulation of Hirschfelder et al. (1964). Each constituent of the gas mixture is allowed to have its own temperature and drift velocity. It is found that a heat flow through both major ion gases results from a temperature gradient in either gas or from a relative drift between the major ion gases. Heat flow through the minor ion gas can result from a temperature gradient in the minor ion gas, a temperature gradient in either of the major ion gases, a relative drift between the minor ion gas and either of the major ion gases, or a relative drift between the major ion gases.
