A detailed energy balance of the chromosphere-corona transition region and lower corona is computed using the multicomponent temperature model developed by Billings and Alvarez (1975) to study the EUV emission lines. It is found that the energy balance can only be retained by including a mechanical energy source and sink in the computations which help determine the physically plausible mechanism responsible for the energy balance in the solar atmosphere under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium. The combination of a conduction mechanism which heats the dense regions of the chromosphere and a second mechanism which maintains equilibrium by liberating energy out of the regions is called the mechanical energy source. Values for the conductive flux, luminosity, and mechanical energy source in both quiet and active regions (as described by the model) are discussed.
