DESCRIPTION:
"Introduction to Plasmas and
Plasma Dynamics provides an accessible introduction to the understanding of
high temperature, ionized gases necessary to conduct research and develop
applications related to plasmas. While standard presentations of introductory
material emphasize physics and the theoretical basis of the topics, this text
acquaints the reader with the context of the basic information and presents the
fundamental knowledge required for advanced work or study.
The book relates theory to
relevant devices and mechanisms, presenting a clear outline of analysis and
mathematical detail; it highlights the significance of the concepts with
reviews of recent applications and trends in plasma engineering, including
topics of plasma formation and magnetic fusion, plasma thrusters and space
propulsion.
Presents the essential principles
of plasma dynamics needed for effective research and development work in plasma
applications
Emphasizes physical understanding
and supporting theoretical foundation with reference to their utilization in devices, mechanisms and phenomena
Covers a range of applications, including energy conversion, space
propulsion, magnetic fusion, and space physics."
