A two-fluid model of the solar wind with anisotropic proton temperature and allowing for extended coronal proton-heating is considered for the case of a purely radial and of a spiral magnetic field. Proton-proton Coulomb-collisions together with a spiral interplanetary magnetic field are found to be

The two-fluid equations for the solar wind are written down in a simplified form, similar to that suggested by Roberts (1971) for the one-fluid model. The equations are shown to depend only on one parameter, where G is the gravitational constant, M the mass of the star, xe the thermal electron cond
A simple model of the lower corona which allows for a possible difference in the electron and proton temperatures is analyzed. With the introduction of a phenomenological heating term, temperature and density profiles are calculated for several different cases. It is found that, under certain circum
