      We present a system of equations describing the flows in a rarefied and partially ionized gas. The equations were derived using two modified versions of the momentum method for solving a system of Boltzmann equations.
      The paper describes a difference scheme which approximates a source system of differential equations, a numerical method to solve it, and an example illustrating the method capabilities.
