Simplified multicomponent diffusion calculations are made for the ionosphere of Venus. Large differences in temperature between electrons and ions and appreciable temperature gradients that are near those of recent measurements are used. Compositions for which binary thermal diffusion coefficients for ions are the same as multi-ion are examined as well as those that are quite different. An attempt to combine binary coefficients to give multi-ions ones have not been particularly successful.
