The Gibbs Variational Method in Thermodynamics of Equilibrium Plasma: 5. Exact Solution for Equilibrium Configurations of Two-Component Plasma Confined between Parallel Plates

Abstract

It is the fifth part of the study published under the common umbrella The Gibbs Variational Method in Thermodynamics of Equilibrium Plasma. In Parts 14, we formulated a novel approach to thermodynamics of one- and two-component heterogeneous systems completely or partially filled with a liquid substance in plasma state. The approach is based on the use of the Gibbs variational principles, and it enables efforts to address a variety of problems relating to equilibrium and stability of such systems. In this fifth part, the results of the Parts 14 are applied to the analysis of equilibrium configurations of a two-component charged plasma trapped between two parallel plates (the geometry often used in various applications).
