If a relaxing gas, A, is mixed with a non-relaxing gas, B, such as helium, there are two collision processes by which vibration-translation energy transfer may occur... 

If both A and B are polyatomic relaxing gases, there will also be two collision processes, corresponding to (1) and (2), for vibration-translation energy transfer from B in homomolecular and heteromolecular collisions. In addition there can be a vibration-vibration transfer between A and B, making five transfer processes in all...
