Thermo - Gravitational Equilibrium
نویسنده
چکیده
Acknowledging that what is currently defined as ‘pressure’ should not have reason to exist without the existence of a gravity field, the connection between thermodynamics and gravity can be easily made clear. Comprehensive thermo-gravitational equilibrium conditions may be defined without raising any doubt about the validity of the conventional thermodynamic and gravitational equilibrium conditions, being the latter ones consistent with the spontaneous tendency, respectively, towards lateral disorder and radial order, jointly resulting from the existence of the gravity field. Therefore, in a whole system subjected to its own gravity field, or in any isolated large fraction of it, a thermal gradient would be associated at equilibrium to the pressure and density gradients.

Star Formation Thresholds
To make predictions for the existence of “dark galaxies”, it is necessary to understand what determines whether a gas cloud will form stars. Star formation thresholds are generally explained in terms of the Toomre criterion for gravitational instability. I contrast this theory with the thermo-gravitational instability hypothesis of Schaye (2004), in which star formation is triggered by the form...
متن کاملThermo - refractive noise in gravitational wave antennae
Thermodynamical fluctuations of temperature in mirrors of gravitational wave antennae may be transformed into additional noise not only through thermal expansion coefficient [1] but also through temperature dependence of refraction index. The intensity of this noise is comparable with other known noises and must be taken into account in future steps of the antennas.
متن کاملOslo-TP-5-94, gr-qc/9404058 Aspects of the Thermo-Dynamics of a Black Hole with a Topological Defect
Aspects of the thermo-dynamics of a black hole which is either pierced by a cosmic gauge string or contains a global monopole are investigated. We also make some comments on the physical significance of the fact that the gravitational mass carried by a global monopole is negative. We note in particular that the negative monopole mass implies a gravitational super-radiance effect. PACS numbers: ...
متن کاملNuclear liquid-gas phase transition in generalized thermo-statistics
A new calculus of nuclear liquid-gas phase transition in the standard thermostatistics is applied to the generalized thermo-statistics. Because the phase equilibrium is de ned in terms of intensive temperature and conjugate extensive entropy, we have to solve higher-order simultaneous nonlinear equations than those in the standard thermo-statistics. The features of phase transition are essentia...
متن کاملMODELING OF ASPHALTENE DEPOSITION IN PIPELINES
This paper is concerned with asphaltene deposition in fluid flowing through pipelines. Brownian diffusion and drag, gravitational, thermophoresis, buoyancy, and shear removal are considered as possible mechanisms in the asphaltene deposition process. The thermo-physical properties of the fluid were obtained from Iranian oil fields. A model was used in the pipeline deposition modeling to predict...
