An analysis of the energy balance of open-field regions of the corona and solar wind, and the influence of flow geometry in the corona on density and temperature, shows that the energy flux arriving at the corona is constant for the corona's open region with different flow geometries. The absorption coefficient's dependence on the corona plasma density, for the waves heating the solar wind, is found to be within distances of 1.05-1.5 solar radii. It is shown that wave absorption is more dependent on electron density than the coronal emission, and that the additional energy flux necessary for providing the energy balance of the corona and for producing the solar wind is a flux of Alfven waves. Theoretical models of coronal holes and the reason for the precise flow of high-speed solar wind streams out of coronal holes are discussed.
