Exact formulae are derived for various integrals of the Compton scattering cross-section. The interaction kernel is integrated over outgoing photon frequency and direction, and over a relativistic Maxwellian distribution for the electrons. The total Compton cross-section, the energy exchange rate, and the transport mean free path are thereby expressed in terms of single integrals of analytic functions. In addition, these integrals produce simple analytic expressions in the limiting cases of either small or large frequency or electron temperature. A numerical method based on Gaussian quadrature is used to compute the transport mean free path. A comparison with previously published results is presented.
