It is well known that magnetic fields affect heat conduction in a different way in the direction parallel and perpendicular to the field. In this paper a formal derivation of this phenomenon and analytical expressions for the transport coefficients based in the Boltzmann equation are presented. Moreover, the Dufour effect or diffusion thermo effect is usually ignored in plasma transport theory. In this work, analytic expressions for the parallel and perpendicular thermal conductivities as well as the coefficients for both the thermal diffusion, or Soret, effect and the Dufour effect are formally derived. It is also shown how the heat conduction in the perpendicular direction decreases with increasing magnetic field and how in both directions the diffusion thermo effect is significant compared to thermal conduction. Other aspects of this work are also emphasized.
