Abstract

We have considered the electron transport coefficients and swarm parameters of pure nitrogen and methane gases and their mixtures for a large range of reduced electric field from 30 to 700 Td, using BOLSIG+ freeware. We inspect the relevant coefficients and parameters of pure methane and nitrogen that calculated in the program and visualized graphically. To analyze these data with other available data, we plot them collectively to find out the variation. This study and the data offered has a significance in plasma and space physics and many fields because methane is one of the greenhouse gases.
