Title: Collisionless heat transport in a stationary bounded plasma: Effect of nonlocal electroneutrality

Abstract

Using a simple model of a plasma between two boundaries at which temperature is fixed, we investigate the thermal transport in the collisionless limit, relaxing the usual local neutrality assumption. For physically relevant external parameters, an analytical solution is found where the heat flux is reduced with respect to its value when local electroneutrality is assumed.
