Abstract

From the Helmholtz free energy, the pressure, the mole fraction, the internal energy and the specific heat capacity at constant volume in temperature range of 1 000 to 20 000 K in the plasma formed of insulator vapours of PC and POM for various densities (0.05 kg/m³ to 5 kg/m³) and at LTE are calculated. The virial and Debye-Hückel corrections on pressure are discussed. The graphite formation is studied.
