Capitelli, Mario.
Fundamental Aspects of Plasma Chemical Physics Thermodynamics / [electronic resource] : by Mario Capitelli, Gianpiero Colonna, Antonio D'Angola. - XVIII, 310 p. online resource. - Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics, 66 1615-5653 ; . - Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics, 66 .
Classical Thermodynamics -- Two and Three Level Systems -- Statistical Thermodynamics -- Atomic Partition Function -- Molecular Partition Function -- Real Effects: I. Debye-Hückel -- Real Effects: II. Virial Corrections -- Electronic Excitation -- Multi-Temperature Thermodynamics -- Thermodynamics of Planetary Plasmas -- Appendix.
Fundamental Aspects of Plasma Chemical Physics - Thermodynamics develops basic and advanced concepts of plasma thermodynamics from both classical and statistical points of view. After a refreshment of classical thermodynamics applied to the dissociation and ionization regimes, the book invites the reader to discover the role of electronic excitation in affecting the properties of plasmas, a topic often overlooked by the thermal plasma community. Particular attention is devoted to the problem of the divergence of the partition function of atomic species and the state-to-state approach for calculating the partition function of diatomic and polyatomic molecules. The limit of ideal gas approximation is also discussed, by introducing Debye-Huckel and virial corrections. Throughout the book, worked examples are given in order to clarify concepts and mathematical approaches. This book is a first of a series of three books to be published by the authors on fundamental aspects of plasma chemical physics. The next books will discuss transport and kinetics.
