ABSTRACT

According to the views formed in the analysis of electrical conductivity in a plasma of different substances with strong Coulomb coupling (ch. 4) it is expedient to calculate transport coefficients (determined in significant part by the mobility of complex plasma components and not measured in an experiment) on the basis of a system of Boltzmann kinetic equations [155,156] (the number of equations coincides with the number of plasma components). As this takes place, the Boltzmann collision integral T0011

should be written taking account of the elementary processes which are significant in a non-ideal plasma and the qualitative features of its composition. In other words, the presence of the "finite dimension" of the ion core and excited particles the contribution of which to kinetic coefficients was found from experimental data analysis on a' in a non-ideal plasma, and inelastic collisions also: excitation, ionization, excitation transfer, recharge and the corresponding inverse processes. We note that at the 70011 estimation in Boltzmann form the bulk viscosity will be non-zero if chemical transformations are accounted for in the collision integral [156].
