The preceding chapter discussed the microscopic, kinetic and two-fluid decsriptions of a plasma. But we would actually like a simpler model — one that would include most of the macroscopic properties of a plasma in a “one-fluid” model. The simplest such model is magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which is a combination of a one-fluid (hydrodynamic-type plus Lorentz force effects) model for the plasma ...

The scaled particle theory (SPT) is applied to describe thermodynamic properties of a hard sphere (HS) fluid in random porous media. To this purpose, we extended the SPT2 approach, which has been developed previously. The analytical expressions for the chemical potential of an HS fluid in HS and overlapping hard sphere (OPH) matrices, sponge matrix, and hard convex body (HCB) matrix are obtaine...
