Abstract

The kinetics of complex plasmas with liquid droplets has been discussed in the context of two applications. First, [14] the alkali metal vapor, used as the working gas in a nuclear reactor-based MHD power generation cycle, can partially condense into droplets under certain operating conditions; the second is the use of water spray for reduction of electron density in plasmas.
