Book Description
The multi-component continuous approach for the investigation of the gasdynamics of a plasma is presented. More information about the flow properties of a plasma can be obtained than from the classical magnetohydrodynamic approach. Also, the resulting equations appear to be more easily solved than the Blotzmann equation of classical kinetic theory. The basic macroscopic conservation equations for a non-reacting multi-component plasma are presented. The fluid properties of each component are referred to the mean velocity of that component. Therefore, no limitations are placed on the magnitude of the diffusion velocities. The effects of electric and magnetic fields are included. The equations for a two-component mixture are used to study the structure of a shock wave in a fully-ionized hydrogen gas. It is assumed that the momentum exchange and energy exchange between the ions and electrons are important because of the strong Coulomb forces present. (Author).

Book Description
The structure of a shock wave in a partially ionized gas, which is in thermal on-equilibrium ahead of the shock wave, is investigated. A method is developed to solve this problem by separating it into two parts. First the structure of the shock wave associated with the mixture of ions and atoms, which are assumed to behave alike through the shock transition, is taken to be of the Mott-Smith form. Then the behavior of electrons as they pass through this ion-atom shock is analyzed. Using this method, calculations are made for the shock wave structure in partially ionized argon for Mach numbers equal to 8, 10 and 12, and for the values of the lectron-ion temperature ratio ahe d of the shock wave equal to 3, 5 and 8.

Book Description
Shock structure experiments were carried out in a radio frequency heated, steady state, low density, partially ionized argon plasma jet. The primary diagnostic tool was the aligned cylindrical free molecule Langmuir probe used to probe a normal shock wave. Spatial resolution was 13% of the heavy particle shock thickness, thus details of electron temperature, ion number density, and plasma potential are available through the shock. The electron temperature rise was observed to precede the heavy particle shock. The plasma potential converted from floating potential according to the theory of Laframboise was in substantial agreement with changes in plasma potential obtained from a numerical quadrature of the generalized Ohm's Law assuming zero current. A quantitative explanation of the dark space observed to precede partially ionized gas shocks is provided by comparing the collisional-radiative recombination rate calculated with observed electron temperature and number density to the luminosity of the flow. The results of integrating the electron energy equation including the effect of recombination energy transfer was compared to the data to show that the fraction of ionization energy given to the electron gas was not constant through the shock.
