A numerical study of the effect of using coupled electron-proton thermal conduction terms in the two-fluid model equations for the quiet solar wind is presented. Modifications to the standard case solutions at 1 AU which are found to improve the agreement between theoretical predictions and observations include: (1) large increases in the proton temperature and proton thermal conduction energy; (2) a large increase in the bulk (streaming) velocity common to both protons and electrons; and (3) a decrease in the electron temperature and electron thermal conduction energy. A modified shooting-splitting numerical method is discussed.
