The emissivity of the ions of carbon and oxygen has been recalculated for a set of solar coronal loop models with a steady state siphon flow. The ion densities were calculated from the plasma velocities, temperatures, and densities of the models, and large departures from equilibrium were found. For purposes of comparison, the emissivity was calculated with and without the approximation of ionization equilibrium. Considerable differences in the radiative loss function Lambda(T) curve between equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions were found. The nonequilibrium Lambda(T) function was then used to solve again the steady state flow equations of the loop models. The differences in the structure of these models with respect to the models calculated adopting the Lambda(T) curve in equilibrium are discussed.
