The calculations of thermophysical properties of molybdenum plasma

Abstract

The thermophysical properties (pressure, internal energy, conductivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal power) of molybdenum plasma at temperatures 10–60 kK and densities less than 2 g/cm3 have been calculated. The corresponding model has been developed on the basis of the chemical approach and relaxation time approximation. The approximations used in our model are valid under these conditions. A comparison with available experimental data on conductivity has shown good agreement in this area.
