Abstract

The collision of two particles in the accretion disk may lead to be a mechanism of heat generation. By using hydrodynamic equations, the mean free path, the collision frequency and the deflection angle due to the collision of the particles are derived as a function of the mass accretion rate. The mean free path seems to be a smaller fraction compared to the dimension parameter of the system. The radiative flux in the disk is obtained under the influence of the collision of the particles.
