An analysis of electron and ion transport phenomena in cesium plasma is developed in a form consistent with experimental conditions typical of those in thermionic and magnetohydrodynamic energy converters and other cesium discharges. Particular attention is given to electron collision processes which are shown to influence significantly both electron and ion transport phenomena. Using available electron cross-section data, electron and ion transport coefficients are evaluated as a function of electron temperature and fractional ionization. Results are then applied to the plasma of a low-pressure nonuniform thermionic arc. Experimentally determined spatial variations of electron density and electron temperature are analyzed numerically and quantitative estimates are made of the spatial variation of electric field intensity, ion current density, and net charged particle production rate. The inferred production rate is compared with that evaluated using a nonequilibrium kinetic analysis developed by Norcross and Stone.
