ABS>Thermodynamic and transport properties of partially ionized Cs vapor, or plasma, are determined from theory (supplemented by available experimental results). Thermodynamic properties are derived by considering the vapor as a Lennard-Jones gas. The effects of electrons and ions on the vapor properties are considered; and numerical values are given for entropy, internal energy, heat capacity at constant pressure, and enthalpy. Transport properties are obtained from solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation involving the familiar collision integrals of Chapman and Cowling and of Hirshfelder, Curtiss, and Bird. Numerical values for the electron collision frequency, thermal conductivity, diffusion coefficient, and viscosity are given. The collision frequency between electrons and neutral atoms is obtained from quantum mechanical considerations. The results of the calculation are compared with experimental evidence. (auth)
