Models of convection zones and corresponding mechanical energy fluxes were computed for 90 stellar photospheres with effective temperatures ranging from 2500 K to 41 600 K and acceleration of gravity values between 1 and 105. The most intense X-ray fluxes may be expected from stars with T ≈ 7200 K and logg ≈ 4. Detectable X-ray fluxes could be expected from Procyon, α Cen and β Cas.
