Title: Thermodynamics and optical properties of ionized gases at temperatures to 100 eV

Book ·
OSTI ID:5442634

The book presents analytical data on the composition and principal thermodynamic and optical properties of plasma of Venusian and Martian atmospheres, fluorine, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen at temperatures T from 1 to 100 eV and densities p between 10{sup {minus}4} and 1 kg/m{sup 3}. The above plasma temperature and density ranges cover a significant proportion of plasma states occurring in different plasma systems and processes, and makes it possible to validate the composition, thermodynamic and optical properties within the framework of a well-tested unified model of a slightly nonideal plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium, which is convenient for solving applied problems.
