Transport Processes in Multicomponent Plasma

This is a revised and updated version of the original Russian edition and examines transport phenomena in multicomponent plasma. It will be of interest to advanced students and specialized researchers working in the field of plasma physics
This monograph is a revised and updated version of the original Russian edition, examining transport phenomenena in multicomponent plasma. It looks at important issues such as partially ionized gases, molecular gas mixtures and methods of calculating kinetic coefficients. A logical progression is made from simpler to more general problems and the results presented in the book may be used to calculate the kinetic coefficients of plasma in electric and magnetic fields. The author concludes by describing several practical applications such as electrical conductivity and Hall's effect in MHD-generators. This book should be of interest to advanced students and specialized researchers working in various aspects of plasma physics, including both cold plasmas for industrial research and high temperature plasmas in fusion.
