Derived Parameter: Proton Pressure

Proton Pressure

The pressure due to the proton component of the fluid only. See "gaspressure" for the total.

$\textup{P}_p=2n_pkT=2.76\times10^{-16}n_pT\ \ \mathrm{dyne\ cm^{-2}}$

where n is proton density and k is the Boltzmann's constant.

Proton pressures for Fontenla Model 1001 (blue), Model 1005 (red), and Model 1006 (green).

Model 1001 Values Quiet Sun; B = 30 G

Model 1005 Values Facula; B = 300 G
