A theory is presented that describes steady-state one-dimensional Child-Langmuir flow at a self-consistent finite temperature distribution. In particular, warm-fluid equations and adiabatic equation of state are used to derive the self-consistent Poisson equation. The profiles of the charged-particle density, the velocity, the electrostatic potential, the pressure and the temperature are computed. Results are compared with self-consistent simulations.
