On the Theory of Bulk Viscosity of Cold Plasmas and Thermodynamics of Alkali-Noble Gas Cocktails
Albert M. Varonov, Todor M. Mishonov
By solving the kinetic equation for ionization-recombination processes in cold plasmas for temperatures much lower than the first ionization potentials, we derive an explicit expre…
Comment on "Adiabatic Expansion of Electron Gas in a Magnetic Nozzle" by Kazunori Takahashi, Christine Charles, Rod Roswell, and Akira Ando, Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol. 120, 045001 (2018)
T. M. Mishonov, I. M. Dimitrova, A. M. Varonov
Heat capacities at fixed volume and pressure as a function of the degree of ionization are graphically depicted as functions of reciprocal temperature and ionization degree. The po…
Slow magnetosonic wave absorption by pressure induced ionization-recombination dissipation
Todor M. Mishonov, Albert M. Varonov
A new mechanisms for damping of slow magnetosonic waves (SMW) by pressure induced oscillations of the ionization degree is proposed. An explicit formula for the damping rate is qua…
Sound Absorption in Partially Ionized Hydrogen Plasma and Heating Mechanism of Solar Chromosphere
Todor M. Mishonov, Iglika M. Dimitrova, Albert M. Varonov
The temperature dependence of rates of electron impact ionization and two electrons recombination are calculated using Wannier cross section of electron impact ionization of neutra…
The Theory of Heating of the Solar Corona and Launching of the Solar Wind by Alfvén Waves
A. M. Varonov
State-of-the-art MHD calculations reveal acceptable agreement with observational data for the height profile of the temperature in the transition region of solar corona. Sim…
