(a) ﹩{\beta }_{{\rm{i}}}﹩ dependence of electron total heating ﹩{M}_{T{\rm{e}},\mathrm{tot}}﹩ (solid blue), electron irreversible heating ﹩{M}_{T{\rm{e}},\mathrm{irr}}﹩ (dashed blue), proton total heating ﹩{M}_{T{\rm{i}},\mathrm{tot}}﹩ (solid red), and proton irreversible heating ﹩{M}_{T{\rm{i}},\mathrm{irr}}﹩ (dashed red); (b) ﹩{\beta }_{{\rm{i}}}﹩ dependence of electron-to-overall total heating ratio ﹩{q}_{T{\rm{e}},\mathrm{tot}}﹩ (solid blue) and electron-to-overall irreversible heating ratio ﹩{q}_{T{\rm{e}},\mathrm{irr}}﹩ (dashed blue), as defined in Equations (29) and (30). Here, ﹩{\sigma }_{w}=0.1,﹩ ﹩{T}_{{\rm{e}}}/{T}_{{\rm{i}}}=1,﹩ and ﹩{m}_{{\rm{i}}}/{m}_{{\rm{e}}}=1836﹩.
