plasma thermodynamics

Plasma thermodynamics studies how energy and heat behave in plasma, a state of matter made of charged particles like ions and electrons. It analyzes how temperature, pressure, and density influence plasma's properties, including its ability to conduct electricity and generate magnetic fields. Understanding these interactions helps us control plasma for applications like fusion energy, space physics, and advanced lighting. Essentially, it explains how plasma absorbs, transfers, and releases energy under different conditions, revealing the principles that govern this energetic and dynamic state of matter.
