A magnetic mirror effect on the field-aligned acceleration of plasma flow is discussed for anisotropic plasma conditions by incorporating double adiabatic equations of state. In a non-uniform distribution of the field magnitude along the field lines, it is found that the field-aligned acceleration is toward higher field intensity region for the fluid of low thermal energy, while the acceleration is toward lower field intensity region for the fluid of high thermal energy. We infer that perpendicular pressure would cause such an energy-dependent behavior of the field-aligned acceleration through the magnetic mirror force.
