The Thermal Evolution of the Postshock Layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
We re-examine the thermal evolution of the postshock layer in primordial gas clouds. Comparing the time scales, we nd that the evolutionary paths of postshock regions in primordial gas clouds are basically understood by the diagram drawn on ionization degree v.s. temperature plane. The results obtained from the diagram are independent of the density, in case we do not include photodissociation and photoionization. We also argue that the diagram is not only relevant to the case of the steady postshock ow, but also to the isochorically cooling gas.

The Thermal Evolution of the Postshock Layer in Pregalactic Clouds
We re-examine the thermal evolution of the postshock layer in primordial gas clouds. Comparing the time scales, we find that the evolutionary paths of postshock regions in primordial gas clouds can be basically understood in terms of the diagram drawn in the ionization degree vs temperature plane. The results obtained from the diagram are independent of the density in the case that we do not in...
متن کاملSelf-Similar Evolution of Cosmic-Ray-Modified Quasi-Parallel Plane Shocks
Using an improved version of the previously introduced CRASH (Cosmic Ray Acceleration SHock) code, we have calculated the time evolution of cosmic-ray (CR) modified quasi-parallel plane shocks for Bohm-like diffusion, including self-consistent models of Alfvén wave drift and dissipation, along with “thermal leakage injection” of CRs. The new simulations follow evolution of the CR distribution t...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effects of Ceramic Layer and Thermal Dam on Optimizing the Temperature Gradient of a Gasoline Engine Piston (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of different methods for improving the temperature gradient of a specified gasoline engine piston. With a robust FE based software, 3D thermal analyses have been carried out for the piston model. Unlike previous studies, the effects of both fully and locally ceramic layers on the crown top surface were considered. It was found that a fully cer...
متن کاملThermal Simulation of Solidification Process in Continuous Casting
In this study, a mathematical model is introduced to simulate the coupled heat transfer equation and Stefan condition occurring in moving boundary problems such as the solidification process in the continuous casting machines. In the continuous casting process, there exists a two-phase Stefan problem with moving boundary. The control-volume finite difference approach together with the boundary ...
متن کاملThermal vibration analysis of double-layer graphene embedded in elastic medium based on nonlocal continuum mechanics
This paper presents the thermal vibration analysis of double-layer graphene sheet embedded in polymer elastic medium, using the plate theory and nonlocal continuum mechanics for small scale effects. The graphene is modeled based on continuum plate theory and the axial stress caused by the thermal effects is also considered. Nonlocal governing equations of motion for this double-layer graphene s...
