AbstractDifferent cut-off criteria of partition functions have been utilized in order to evaluate the con­tribution of electronic excitation to thermodynamic properties of high temperature gases (5000 °K to 35 000 °K, 10-2-10 atm). It is shown that properties of single species are strongly affected by the cut-off criterion adopted, i. e. the contribution of electronic excitation to these properties is important. It is also shown that the reported absence of this contribution to total enthalpies and specific heats of plasmas is the result of an almost complete compensation between "reactional" and "frozen" terms which are all dependent on electronic excitation.

The focus of discussion in Working Group 3 was on the Thermodynamic Properties as determined spectroscopically, including the observational techniques and the theoretical modeling of physical processes responsible for the emission spectrum. Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical concepts make this discussion particularly timely. It is wise to remember that the determination of thermodynamic parameters is not an end in itself and that these are interesting chiefly for what they can tell us about the energetics and mass transport in prominences.
