The theory of Eldridge and Feix (1962) is presently applied to characterize the rate of heat flow between two one-dimensional particle species. Formulas derived assuming initial Maxwellian distributions, while complex, are judged applicable to simulators. Tests of the theory by simulations using Langdon and Birdsall's (1985) standard code yield results which indicate that heat flow between species may become rapid when the actual (not necessarily the intended) temperatures differ: thereby presenting a substantial hazard.

A cylindrical particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulation code applicable to plasma densities encountered in low Earth orbit (LEO) is described. The simulated geometries include that of a plain disk and a disk surrounded by a dielectric. Both configurations are mounted upon a ground plate in contact with a plasma environment. Techniques allowing simulation of dielectric charging using PIC time scales are discussed. Current versus voltage characteristic curves are calculated and the results are compared to experimental data.
