Abstract

The model proposed by Ichimaru for calculating transport coefficients is generalized to describe a plasma containing neutral atoms and ions with different charges. Ichimaru's model was developed for a fully ionized two-component (electrons and a single ion species) plasma with a temperature above 105 K. Taking into account several species of positive ions and neutral atoms makes it possible to extend Ichimaru's model to a partially ionized plasma. Transport coefficients calculated from different models are compared with the experimental data.
