Experimental data on the density distribution at various heliocentric distances are used in a hydrodynamic approximation to develop a semiempirical model of the solar wind in which the values of the basic solar-wind parameters agree with measurements made in all sectors of interplanetary space. The temperature distribution for distances ranging from 1 to 215 solar radii is determined, and the existence of a local temperature maximum at distances between 15 and 50 solar radii is revealed. It is shown that the temperature-distance distribution cannot be described by a simple polytropic law. The results obtained are employed to calculate the additional energy flux required for the production of a solar wind with the observed parameters; the distribution of this flux in interplanetary space is also computed.
