On the Theory of Bulk Viscosity of Cold Plasmas and Thermodynamics of Alkali-Noble Gas Cocktails
This episode examines a paper by Albert M. Varonov and Todor M. Mishonov regarding bulk viscosity in cold plasmas and the thermodynamics of element mixtures called cocktails. The hosts discuss how accounting for these complex chemical blends can improve solar models by explaining how sound waves dissipate into heat.
