Generalized hydrodynamical equations are derived for a nonequilibrium plasma characterized by different temperatures and velocities for the electrons and ions. Their conductivities and viscosities appear to be inhibited by supplementary dissipation mechanisms caused by the inhomogeneities of the system. These modifications have profound implications for the properties of propagation and damping of ion-acoustic waves in the system.
