THEORETICAL RESEARCH STUDIES OF REACTING PLASMAS

Abstract

A theoretical study is presented for the derivation of a generalized application of the Boltzmann equation to the time evolution of plasmas. The concept is based upon the kinetic theory of gases which was extended through the use of statistical methods to measurements of particle probability densities.
