Abstract
We study the (parabolic) hydrodynamic limit of linear kinetic equations. We deal with collision terms that do not satisfy detailed balance pinciple an d where the coefficients depend on the space variable. The possible depende nce of the equilibrium upon position induces an additional drift term in th e limit equation.
