Energy balance from 1.1 to 1.6 solar radius is investigated for the inhomogeneous solar-maximum corona. Heating is assumed to arise via energy dissipated by accelerated electrons/protons through Coulomb collisions (Levine, 1974). The loss of energy takes place via inward and outward conduction, radiation, and solar wind. It is found that conduction dominates all other losses everywhere except near temperature maximum, where wind losses are dominant. Heating balances losses only when the characteristic dimension of the magnetic accelerating regions is varied with distance from the center of the sun. This dimension increases from the quiet sun to the coronal holes and the active regions.
