In Bradshaw & Mason (2003) we carried out a hydrodynamic simulation of a cooling solar loop and investigated the nonequilibrium response of the population of C VII ions to the changing conditions in the plasma. We also compared equilibrium and nonequilibrium calculations of the total plasma emis...
