The equations of radiation magnetogasdynamics, together with the real flow pattern and experimental data, are used to analyze the processes taking place in the plasma focus of a magnetoplasma compressor. It is shown that the energy lost in multiple ionization plays a big role in the energy balance of the plasma in the compression region of an erosion-type magnetoplasma compressor. The mechanisms for energy conversion demonstrated here serve as a guide to ways of controlling the parameters of the plasma focus. 14 references.
