Abstract Heat transport is considered both for quiet and disturbed solar winds. It is shown that heat may be transferred during solar flares by sharp fronted thermal wave pulses. Energy dissipation in the wave front arises from the firehose instability excitation. The effects of ionosonic turbulence on heat transport in a quiet solar wind are also investigated. A quasi-steady state, in which there is a balance between wave-particle interations and particle collisions is found. It is shown that the effect of wave-particle ‘collisions’ is to produce a significant decrease of the electron heat flow and electron temperature, and increase of the ion temperature relative to calculations which take into account particle particle collisions only.
