The Effect of Plasma-β on the Heating Mechanisms during Magnetic Reconnection in Partially Ionized Low Solar Atmosphere by Abdullah Zafar, Lei Ni, Kaifeng Kang, Guanchong Cheng, Jing Ye, Jun Lin, Ahmad Ali, Nadia Imtiaz

“…The frequent coalescence of these plasmoids leads to a significant enhancement of turbulence and compression heating, which becomes the dominant mechanism for heating plasma in a lower plasma- β reconnection process. The average power density of the compression heating ( Q _comp ) decreases with increasing initial plasma- β as a power function: ${Q}_{\mathrm{comp}}\sim {\beta }_{0}^{-a}$ , where the value a is 1.9 in the photosphere and decreases to about 1.29 in the upper chromosphere. …”
