The limit of ideal gas approximation is also discussed, by introducing Debye-Huckel and virial corrections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, worked examples are given in order to clarify concepts and mathematical approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a first of a series of three books to be published by the authors on fundamental aspects of plasma chemical physics.  The next books will discuss transport and kinetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-11-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461430209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-8182-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 310\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382370721932,"sku":"9781461430209","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461430209.jpg?v=1779042458","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461430209","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
