Scientific paper

The standard model of McWhirter et al. (1975) for the transition region and inner corona is generalized in order to obtain temperature and density as functions of height in several ways and to determine the temperature maximum and its location. The effect of varying the following characteristics of the model is investigated: boundary conditions on temperature and density, magnitude of the heating, form of the heating term, divergence of the field lines, presence of subsonic flows (either upward or downward). If the heating is localized at great altitudes it tends to produce a narrower and larger temperature maximum at a greater altitude than a uniform heating and even more so than a heating proportional to density.
