    What you need it to modify equation of state to include ionization
    effects. For a fixed chemical composition and without using the
    Saha-based approach, you start by modifying the current ideal EOS to
    make the mean molecular weight dependent on temperature. Call it an
    advanced kludge. You could also return the number of electrons,
    etc., as needed for the cooling function. More advanced and costly
    approach would ask for a Saha solver.<br>
    <br>
    Multi-temperature EOS allows for temperature differences between
    various plasma components. I am not sure this is what you need
    unless you are interested in details of non-equilibrium physics.<br>

                                      The gamma-law EOS is just a simple

                                      As you can see from the
                                      expressions there, zbar is not
                                      used at all.  You should set abar
                                      so that these expressions give
                                      what you expect.  This is what
                                      John Zuhone and Tomek I believe
                                      are suggesting.<br>
