Abstract

The caloric and thermal equations of state, composition, and conductivity of dense vapor plasma of different metals (Cu, Ag, Au, Ti, Ni, and B) have been calculated for the temperature range of 10000–50000 K and for pressures up to 20000 atm. An ion-molecular chemical model of a nonideal gas-plasma mixture, which was previously proposed for an aluminum vapor plasma, has been used in the calculations. Results obtained for the equation of state and conductivity (resistance) of metal vapor in the range of applicability of the model are in fairly good agreement with the experimental data. A comparison of the calculation and experimental results for different metals suggests that the model proposed is universal for metal-vapor plasmas.
