What is next.This is an introduction for engineering and science students to the basic underlying physics and chemistry concepts that form the foundation of plasma science and engineering. It is a bridge for students who have no background in the topic by providing an understanding of what an ion is, how they move, the equations used to describe the basic concepts and how they link to the topics of plasmas and gas discharges. It focuses on specific concepts that are important to non-equilibrium, low temperature gas discharges.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.David B. Go is the Rooney Family Associate Professor of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University and joined the faculty of Notre Dame in 2008. He has published widely in the areas of plasma science and gas discharges, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, and chemical analysis. He has authored/co-authored over 55 journal articles, over 100 conference papers and presentations, multiple book chapters, and also holds three patents. He is a Fellow of ASME.Title from PDF title page (viewed on May 4, 2018).
