Notes:
The "hydrodynamic model'' developed by Haas, Holmes, and Lea has been extended to include all elastic collision processes between the species. The properties of the electron momentum equations are investigated in detail; the solution of these equations revealing a critical point along the source axis at which the electron drift velocity reverses direction.
