Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The density of kinetic energy due to the thermal motion of the particles composing the plasma.

OBS

For particles of a given type, the kinetic pressure is equal to the product nkT where n is the number density of the particles, k the Boltzmann constant and T the absolute temperature of the plasma.

OBS

kinetic pressure: term and definition standardized by ISO.
