The kinetic granular temperatures of a binary granular mixture in simple shear flow are calculated by means of the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method. The results show that the temperature ratio is clearly different from unity (as may be expected since the system is out of equilibrium) and strongly depends on the restitution coefficients as well as on the parameters of the mixture. The influence of the temperature differences on the rheological properties is also discussed. The results are compared with the theoretical predictions obtained from the Boltzmann kinetic theory by using a Sonine polynomial expansion. The comparison shows an excellent agreement over the range of parameters investigated.
