Abstract
A set of equations of ionization and thermal balance for the spherically-symmetric inhomogeneous atmospheres of WN stars has been solved.The atmosphere is assumed to consist of Hell, Helll, NIV and NV.It is shown that in the clumps, where density increases by two orders, the electron temperature decreases by three to five times.
