The problem of heat and mass transfer by neutral and charged particles is considered for a weakly ionized gaseous planetary envelope. Within the framework of the kinetic theory, generalized Stefan-Maxwell relations for the multicomponent diffusion of a mixture (in the longitudinal, the perpendicular, and the transverse direction) are obtained in a form convenient for aeronomic applications. Also, the transport coefficients are found for a single-temperature magnetized plasma while taking into account higher approximations in the Sonine-Laguerre polynomial expansion of the perturbed distribution functions of the components within the framework of a modified Chapman-Enskog method. A description is given to the processes of ambipolar diffusion and electric conduction in a multispecies ionospheric plasma with due consideration for the anisotropy of the transport coefficients resulting from the presence of the regular magnetic field of the Earth. Our approach makes it possible to improve the modeling of electrodynamic phenomena in a planetary ionosphere.
