Print on Demand. This book examines the computation of transport coefficients using a shielded Coulomb potential, rather than a pure Coulomb potential or a Coulomb potential with a Debye cut-off. The author compares the results of these different approaches and finds that the shielded Coulomb potential gives results that are accurate to the dominant log term, with small differences in the next order of accuracy. The author also discusses the regions of application for the different approaches, and concludes that the shielded Coulomb potential is a more appropriate choice for a wide range of temperatures and densities of interest. This book provides a valuable contribution to the field of plasma physics, and will be of interest to researchers and students alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Discover how shielding changes the math behind ionized gases. This study shows how a shielded Coulomb potential can yield more accurate transport coefficients than the traditional Debye-cutoff approach.
The work presents a clear path from the classical Chapman–Enskog method to new results that incorporate a shielded interaction. It explains why the standard Coulomb treatment leads to divergent integrals and how a Debye-like screening distance regularizes them. Readers will see how the modified potential affects key quantities such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusion, and electrical conductivity, with careful comparisons to conventional methods.
- How shielding alters the underlying scattering calculations and the role of the /v integrals in transport coefficients.
- The concept of a Debye distance and how it interacts with particle diameter and mean free path.
- A step-by-step derivation showing when the dominant log term is independent of the chosen cutoff.
- Practical implications for predicting transport properties in ionized gases across different temperatures and densities.
Ideal for readers of advanced plasma physics and kinetic theory seeking a rigorous, self-contained treatment of shielded interactions in transport phenomena.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
