Abstract
Taking into account the disequilibrium between the temperatures (electronic, rotational, vibrational, translational) in a nitrogen-plasma out of thermal equilibrium, different partition function and chemical potential calculation methods are described and applied. From the variation of the temperature hypotheses, their influence on the plasma concentration is shown
