Two temperatures state in non-equilibrium plasma

[abbas_majidi]

Hello
Two temperatures state in non-equilibrium plasma has different vibrational temperature and translational temperature. Vibrational temperature is more than translational temperature usually. Help me to find a book or article for describing thermodynamics of this state.

Hello there,

The phenomenon of different temperatures in non-equilibrium plasma is known as temperature stratification, and it is a widely studied topic in the field of plasma physics. There are several books and articles that discuss the thermodynamics of this state, and I would be happy to recommend a few for you.

1. "Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Statistical Foundations" by Denis J. Evans, Debra J. Searles, and Stephen R. Williams: This book provides a comprehensive overview of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and its applications, including temperature stratification in plasma.

2. "Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics" by Robert B. Bird, Warren E. Stewart, and Edwin N. Lightfoot: This classic textbook covers the fundamentals of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and also includes a chapter on plasma thermodynamics.

3. "Plasma Physics and Engineering" by Alexander Fridman: This book specifically focuses on plasma physics and engineering, including topics such as transport phenomena and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

In addition to these books, there are also many articles available in scientific journals that discuss the thermodynamics of non-equilibrium plasma. Some relevant journals to search for articles include Plasma Sources Science and Technology, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, and Journal of Plasma Physics.

I hope these recommendations are helpful to you in your research. Best of luck!
