Scientific paper

A generalized expression for the steady state heat flux in multicomponent, moderately non-Maxwellian spherically symmetric plasmas is presented and discussed. The plasma is considered to be describable by the first six moments of the distribution function fa of each plasma component a. Higher order fluid equations based on Fokker-Planck theory are derived for these moments of fa. As an illustration, the authors discuss the electron radial heat flux in a spherically symmetric, moderately nonequilibrium, quiet (steady state) two-fluid solar wind plasma.
