PLASMA RESEARCH IN THE THERMODYNAMICS DIVISION

Abstract

In this state some recent research concerning the theoretical and experimental investigations of low- and high-temperature plasmas was done. The model of LTE and non-LTE was used to descriptions of plasma conditions. The non-LTE assumptions were applied to two-temperature state of plasmas and to the ionizational nonequilibrium. The result of the research was the analysis of the transport phenomena in isotropic and anisotropic plasmas, where anisotropic was done by the external electric or magnetic fields. The experimental part of the research concerned the plasma measurement methods, particularly applied to the Klein effect, the spectroscopic methods and the laser diagnostics of plasma. Some research studied the interactions between strong magnetic field and injected gas flux to a reactor. This is the fundamental problem in controlled fission processes (the high-temperature plasma).
