This book describes plasma thermodynamics of one-temperature and multi-temperature ideal and non-ideal equilibrium plasmas, using concepts of classical and statistical thermodynamics. Worked examples are provided throughout, to help clarify fundamentals.

This book examines non-equilibrium "cold" plasmas via a chemical physics approach, using state-to-state plasma kinetics, which views each internal state as a new species with its own cross-sections. Includes examples in microelectronics, fusion, and aerospace.

Plasma Modeling: Methods and applications presents the different approaches that can be adopted for plasma modeling, giving details about theory and methods. The book is intended to assist students and researchers, who want to start research activity in the field of plasma physics, in the choice of the best model for the problem of interest.
