Transport phenomena in plasmas are the relatively slow processes of
particle momentum and energy transport systems in a state of
mechanical equilibrium. In contrast to neutral gases, these
phenomena in plasmas are greatly influenced by self-consistent
fields, in particular electric fields. These can produce particle
and energy fluxes, in addition to those generated by the
inhomogeneity of the plasma composition and temperature. As a
result, the physical effects accompanying transport phenomena in
plasmas are far more numerous and complicated than those in neutral
gases, and the solution of corresponding problems is more
difficult. The effects, however, are usually far more interesting
and sometimes surprising. This book presents a systematic survey
and analysis of the main mechanisms of transport phenomena in
plasma and gives examples of gradually increasing complexity to
illustrate these mechanisms and the relationships between them. The
author pays special attention to the analysis of experimental
measurements and considers the relevant processes analytically as
well as qualitatively. The majority of problems dealt with in this
book are of considerable practical interest, and the phenomena
described often determine the main characteristics of processes and
devices. Transport Phenomena in Partially Ionized Plasma will be of
interest to researchers who need to know the properties of real,
specific systems, as well as to engineers and advanced students in
the physics of plasmas, semiconductors, various types of gas
discharges and the ionosphere.
