Equations of state of nonideal plasma

Using the screening condition and a corollary of the virial theorem, a simple approximation is constructed for the equations of state of a nonideal partially ionized nondegenerate plasma. A result coinciding with the Debye approximation in the weakly nonideal region differs from that in the strongly nonideal region in having smaller values of the corresponding corrections. A comparison is made with experimental results on a cesium plasma and with other approximations.
