Abstract
A symmetric relation of macroscopic quantities between two different steady problems of the linearized Boltzmann equation is derived A few applications to halfspace problems are presented first Then for the gas in bounded or unbounded domains such that solid bodies or condensed phases are confined in a finite region general representations of the mass momentum and heat fluxes through the boundary possibly at a point on or on a part of it are derived from the symmetric relation linked to the separability of boundary data This result implies a reduction of the original problem to a single elemental problem in the same domain as far as the fluxes are concerned Many applications are also presented
