Abstract
The plasma may be considered as a mixture of n species which consists of ions, electrons and neutral particles. From macroscopic point of view, we would like to know the following quantities for each species:
-
T s = (kinetic) temperature of sth species
-
p s = pressure of the sth species
-
ρ s = density of the sth species
-
u i s = ith component of the flow velocity of the sth species.
