Description
Abstract: Plasma refers to an electrically conducting medium in which there are roughly equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles, produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized. In this presentation, an introduction to theoretical study of plasma that treats the plasma as a fluid governed by a combination of Maxwell's equations and the Navier–Stokes equations knows as magnetohydrodynamics. Relevant applications of fluid and plasma in engineering, industrial and technology will be discussed.
