Critical initial conditions for spontaneous thermal ignition
Critical initial conditions for thermal ignition are calculated numerically for planar, cylindrical and spherical geometries. In each case a comparison is made on the bifurcation diagram with the intermediate steady state(s). It is clearly seen that the actual critical initial condition which depends upon the initial temperature proÐle, is partly below the intermediate steady state(s). The vari...
متن کاملInitial conditions for inflation
Free scalar fields in de Sitter space have a one-parameter family of states invariant under the de Sitter group, including the standard thermal vacuum. We show that, except for the thermal vacuum, these states are unphysical when gravitational interactions are included. We apply these observations to the quantum state of the inflaton, and find that at best, dramatic fine tuning is required for ...
متن کاملEffect of Thermal Radiation on Ignition Time and Critical Temperature of a Single Sodium Droplet
The present study addresses the problem of ignition of a single sodium droplet, which is an important issue for the nuclear facilities safety. The study follows the approach of previous works and extends the results of those papers to the case of radiative heat loss. The contribution of the thermal radiation is taken into account based on the P-1 approximation for thermal radiation transfer. An...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of critical conditions in the thermal explosion problem
The paper is devoted to the thermal explosion problem in the case of autocatalytic reaction given both heat transfer and diffusion. By means of the method of integral manifolds there are investigated critical regimes and are found critical values of parameter for plane-parallel and for cylindrical reactors. This work was written while V.A. Sobolev was a visitor at both the Boole Centre for Rese...
متن کاملInitial Conditions For Bubble Universes
The “bubble universes” of Coleman and De Luccia play a crucial role in string cosmology. Since our own Universe is supposed to be of this kind, bubble cosmology should supply definite answers to the long-standing questions regarding cosmological initial conditions. In particular, it must explain how an initial singularity is avoided, and also how the initial conditions for Inflation were establ...
