Onsager-Casimir reciprocity relation for the gyrothermal effect with polyatomic gases

On the basis of the linearized Boltzmann equation and the boundary condition for the distribution function, the Onsager-Casimir reciprocity relation is derived for polyatomic gases confined between two cylinders in the presence of a magnetic field. The cross effect, namely, the heat flux caused by the rotation of the inner cylinder is predicted. Because of the heat flux the cylinder can be heated or cooled depending on the direction of the magnetic field. This effect is coupled with the gyrothermal effect by the reciprocity relation.
