+ This term has some important properties:
656
+
657
+ 1. It is always positive: Collisions of two species with the same
658
+ temperature never leads to cooling.
659
+ 2. It is Galilean invariant: Shifting both species' velocity by the
660
+ same amount leaves :math: `Q_{ab,F}` unchanged.
661
+ 3. If both species have the same mass, the thermal energy
662
+ change due to slowing down is shared equally between them.
663
+ 4. If one species is much heavier than the other, for example
664
+ electron-ion collisions, the lighter species is preferentially
665
+ heated. This recovers e.g. Braginskii expressions for :math: `Q_{ei}`
666
+ and :math: `Q_{ie}`.
667
+
668
+ This can be derived by considering the exchange of energy
669
+ :math: `W_{ab,F}` between two species at the same temperature but
670
+ different velocities. If the pressure is evolved then it contains
671
