Two-temperature Saha equations. Effects on thermophysical properties of H2 plasmas

The study aims to present how the choice of the Saha equation affects the thermodynamic and transport properties of H2 plasmas. The new calculations of thermodynamic and transport properties of equilibrium and non-equilibrium H2 plasmas are also presented. The thermodynamic and transport properties of 2-temperature plasmas may depend in a nonnegligible manner on the adopted form of the Saha equation, which, in turn, is determined by the physical constraints imposed on the considered system.
