Abstract
In this paper Mie present numerical efficient methods for the computation o f thermodynamic and transport properties of nonequilibrium thermal plasmas. Thermodynamic dynamic properties of mono- and diatomic species ale calcula ted directly from partition functions. The evaluation of transport properti es is based on the kinetic theory using the classical Chapman-Enskog approa ch to solve the heavy particle Boltzmann equation. A multitemperature model is used to consider thermal nonequilibrium.
