This unique book provides a fundamental introduction to all aspects of modern plasma chemistry. It describes mechanisms and kinetics of chemical processes in plasma, plasma statistics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electrodynamics, as well as all major electric discharges applied in plasma chemistry. Invaluable to engineers, scientists, and students interested in plasma physics, plasma chemistry, plasma engineering, and combustion, as well as in chemical physics, lasers, energy systems, and environmental control. An extensive database on plasma kinetics and thermodynamics as well as convenient numerical formulas for practical calculations related to specific plasma-chemical processes and applications are included.
