Abstract
We discuss a result, obtained in [1], that contradicts experiments. It is shown that the reason for the contradiction involves the nonapplicability of the principle of minimum entropy production to thermodynamical systems situated in an alternating electromagnetic field. For stationary regimes of high-frequency discharges we formulate a variational problem that is equivalent to the original system of equations. We give a solution of this problem in the “channel model” approximation of a discharge with and without taking account of radiation losses.
