Abstract We derive the relativistic non-resistive, viscous second-order magnetohydrodynamic equations for the dissipative quantities using the relaxation time approximation. The Boltzmann equation is solved for a system of particles and antiparticles using Chapman-Enskog like gradient expansion of the single-particle distribution function truncated at second order. In the first order, the transport coefficients are independent of the magnetic field. In the second-order, new transport coefficients that couple magnetic field and the dissipative quantities appear which are different from those obtained in the 14-moment approximation [1] in the presence of a magnetic field. However, in the limit of the weak magnetic field, the form of these equations are identical to the 14-moment approximation albeit with different values of these coefficients. We also derive the anisotropic transport coefficients in the Navier-Stokes limit.

The Chapman—Enskog expansion is applied to the model Fokker—Planck equation for a plasma, derived in part 2. It is shown that the complete set of transport coefficients can be calculated without further approximations. Results are derived first in the absence of any external magnetic field. The transport coefficients are also derived when there is a strong magnetic field, in which case they become anisotropic.
