A more detailed look at the Opacities for Enriched Carbon and Oxygen Mixtures
نویسنده
چکیده
We have included opacity tables in our stellar evolution code that enable us to accurately model the structure of stars composed of mixtures with carbon and oxygen independently enhanced relative to solar. We present tests to demonstrate the effects of the new tables. Two of these are practical examples, the effect on the evolution of a thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch star and a Wolf-Rayet Star. The changes are small but perceptible.

New Asymptotic Giant Branch models for a range of metallicities
We present a new grid of stellar model calculations for stars on the Asymptotic Giant Branch between 1.0 and 6.0 M⊙. Our grid consists of 10 chemical mixtures with 5 metallicities between Z = 0.0005 and Z = 0.04, and with both solar-like and α-element enhanced metal ratios for each metallicity. We treat consistently the carbon-enhancement of the stellar envelopes by using opacity tables with va...
متن کاملThe Effect of Carbon Nano-tube on the Fatigue Life of Asphalt Mixtures
The fatigue cracks are observed in asphalt surfaces much more than ruts. This paper deals with the influence of carbon nano-tube on the fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. These samples are made up of the slabs cut by the asphalt cutting saw. Fatigue beams contain 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5 percent of Carbon Nano-tube. The fatigue experiment was conducted using a 4-point semi-sinusoidal loadi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Long Term Ageing of Asphalt Mixtures Containing EAF and BOF Steel Slags
This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness and resilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing Electric Arc and Basic Oxygen Furnace steel slags. After initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electric Microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. Each set was treated replac...
متن کاملModeling of Combustion and Carbon Oxides Formation in Direct Injection Diesel Engine
When looking at the effects of diesel engine exhaust on the environment, it is important to first look at the composition of the exhaust gases. Over 99.5% of the exhaust gases are a combination of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. With the exception of carbon dioxide, which contributes about 5% of the total volume, the diesel engine exhaust consists of elements which are part of...
متن کاملEquation of state for partially ionized carbon and oxygen mixtures at high temperatures.
The equation of state (EOS) for partially ionized carbon, oxygen, and carbon-oxygen mixtures at temperatures 3×10(5)K is less than or approximately equal to T is less than or approximately equal to 3×10(6) K is calculated over a wide range of densities, using the method of free energy minimization in the framework of the chemical picture of plasmas. The free energy model is an improved extensio...
