Free Energy of BiPolytrope with (nc,ne)=(0,0)

Here we present a specific example of the equilibrium structure of a bipolytrope as determined from a free-energy analysis. The example is a bipolytrope whose core has a polytropic index, nc=0, and whose envelope has a polytropic index, ne=0. The details presented here build upon an overview of the free energy of bipolytropes that has been presented elsewhere.

Preliminaries

Mass Profile

In this case, ρcore(x)=ρc= constant — hence, also, [ρ(x)/ρ¯]core=1 — and ρenv(x)=ρe= constant — hence, also, [ρ(x)/ρ¯]env=1 — but in general ρeρc. Performing the separate integrals to obtain expressions for Mr(r) inside the core and the envelope, as established in our accompanying overview, we obtain:

(For0xq)       Mr

=

Mtot(νq3)0x3x2dx=νMtot(xq)3;

(Forqx1)       Mr

=

Mtot{ν+(1ν1q3)qx3x2dx}=Mcore+(1ν)Mtot(x3q31q3).

When x=q, both expressions give,

Mr

=

Mcore=νMtot,

as they should. We deduce, as well, that the mass contained in the envelope is,

Menv

=

MtotMcore=(1ν)Mtot,

and that the volumes occupied by the core and envelope are, respectively,

Vcore

=

q3Redge3,

Venv

=

(1q3)Redge3.

Hence, the ratio of envelope density to core density is,

ρeρc=ρ¯envρ¯core

=

Menv/VenvMcore/Vcore=q3(1ν)ν(1q3).

These relations should be compared to — and ultimately must match — the prescriptions for Mr that have been presented elsewhere in connection with detailed force-balance models of (nc,ne)=(0,0) bipolytropes and in our introductory discussion of the virial stability of bipolytropes.


Gravitational Potential Energy

Here we follow the steps that have been outlined in an accompanying overview to determine the separate contributions to the gravitational potential energy. Let's do the core first. In this case, ρcore(x)=ρc= constant — hence, also, [ρ(x)/ρ¯]core=1. As has been demonstrated above, the corresponding Mr function is,

[Mr(x)Mtot]core

=

(νq3)x3.

Hence,

Wgrav|core

=

Enormχ1(νq3)0q3(νq3)x4dx

 

=

Enormχ1(νq3)2(35q5)

Now, let's do the envelope. In this case, ρenv(x)=ρe= constant; hence, also, [ρ(x)/ρ¯]env=1. As shown elsewhere, the corresponding Mr function is,

[Mr(x)Mtot]env

=

ν+(1ν1q3)(x3q3).

Hence,

Wgrav|env

=

Enormχ1(1ν1q3){q1[νq3(1ν1q3)]3xdx+q1[(1ν1q3)]3x4dx}

 

=

Enormχ1(1ν1q3){32[νq3(1ν1q3)](1q2)+35[(1ν1q3)](1q5)}

 

=

35(ν2q)Enormχ1[1ν(1ν1q3)]{52[1q3ν(1ν1q3)](qq3)+[qν(1ν1q3)](1q5)}

 

=

35(ν2q)Enormχ1[q3ν(1ν1q3)]{52[1q3ν(1ν1q3)](1q21)+[q3ν(1ν1q3)](1q51)}.

Realizing from the above mass segregation derivation that,

q3ν(1ν1q3)=ρeρc,

this last expression can be rewritten as,

Wgrav|env

=

35(ν2q)Enormχ1[ρeρc]{52[1ρeρc](1q21)+[ρeρc](1q51)}

 

=

35(ν2q)Enormχ1(ρeρc){52(1q21)+(ρeρc)[1q51+52(11q2)]}.

So, when put together to obtain the total gravitational potential energy, we have,

Wgrav=Wgrav|core+Wgrav|env

=

35Enormχ1(ν2q)f(ν,q),

where,

f(ν,q)

1+52(ρeρc)(1q21)+(ρeρc)2[1q51+52(11q2)].

(This result agrees with Tohline's earlier derivations in other sections of this H_Book, which may now be erased to avoid repetition.)

Thermodynamic Energy Reservoir

According to our derivation of the properties of detailed force-balance (nc,ne)=(0,0) bipolytropes, in this case the pressure throughout the core is defined by the dimensionless function,

pc(x)

=

(2π3)ξ2,

and the pressure throughout the envelope is defined by the dimensionless function,

pe(x)

=

2π3(ρeρ0)P0Pie[ρeρ0(ξ2ξi2)2(1ρeρ0)ξi3(1ξ1ξi)],

where, for both functions,

ξ

[(Gρ02P0)1/2Redge]eqx

 

=

[GRedge2P0(3νMtot4πq3Redge3)2]eq1/2x

 

=

[(3224π2)GMtot2P0Redge4(νq3)2]eq1/2x

So, defining the coefficient,

bξ

(323π)GMtot2P0Redge4(νq3)2,

such that,

ξ

=

(32πbξ)1/2x,

and remembering that, at the interface, xxi=q, so ξi=(3bξ/2π)1/2q, the two dimensionless pressure functions become,

pc(x)

=

bξx2,

and,

pe(x)

=

bξ(ρeρ0)P0Pie[ρeρ0(x2q2)2(1ρeρ0)q3(1x1q)].

The desired integrals over these pressure distributions therefore give,

0q[1pc(x)1pc(q)]x2dx

=

[11bξq2]0q(1bξx2)x2dx

 

=

[11bξq2][13q3(bξ5)q5]

 

=

q33[11bξq2][1(3bξ5)q2]=q33(P0Pic)[1(3bξ5)q2];

q1[1pe(x)]x2dx

=

13(1q3)bξ(ρeρ0)P0Pieq1[ρeρ0(x2q2)2(1ρeρ0)q3(1x1q)]x2dx

 

=

13(1q3)bξ(ρeρ0)P0Pie[ρeρ0(x55q2x33)2(1ρeρ0)q3(x22x33q)]q1

 

=

13(1q3)bξ3(ρeρ0)P0Pie{[ρeρ0(35q2)(1ρeρ0)q2(3q2)]

 

 

[ρeρ0(25)q5(1ρeρ0)q5]}

 

=

13(1q3)bξ3(ρeρ0)P0Pie{[q2(23q)+q5]+ρeρ0[(35q2)+q2(3q2)+2q55q5]}

 

=

13(1q3)bξ3(ρeρ0)P0Pie[(2q23q3+q5)+35ρeρ0(15q2+5q3q5)]

 

=

13{(1q3)+bξ(P0Pie)[25q5𝔉]},

where,

𝔉

52(ρeρc)1q5[(2q2+3q3q5)+35(ρeρc)(1+5q25q3+q5)].


Finally, then, we have,

(𝔖AEnorm)core

=

4π/3(γc1)[Picχ3γcPnorm]eqχ33γc{(P0Pic)[q3(3bξ5)q5]}

(𝔖AEnorm)env

=

4π/3(γe1)[Pieχ3γePnorm]eqχ33γe{(1q3)+bξ(P0Pie)[25q5𝔉]}.

Virial Theorem

As has been shown in our accompanying overview, the condition for equilibrium based on a free-energy analysis — that is, the virial theorem — is,

𝒜

=

coreχeq43γc+envχeq43γe

 

=

4π3[PiRedge4GMtot2]eq[q3score+(1q3)senv].

For (nc,ne)=(0,0) bipolytropes, the relevant coefficient functions are,

𝒜

=

15(ν2q)f,

q3score

=

q3(P0Pic)[135q2bξ],

(1q3)senv

=

(1q3)+(P0Pie)25q5𝔉bξ,

where,

f

1+52(ρeρc)(1q21)+(ρeρc)2[1q51+52(11q2)],

𝔉

52(ρeρc)1q5[(2q2+3q3q5)+35(ρeρc)(1+5q25q3+q5)],

PicP0

=

1pc(q)=1bξq2,

bξ

(323π)GMtot2P0Redge4(νq3)2.

Plugging these expressions into the equilibrium condition shown above, and setting the interface pressures equal to one another, gives,

15(ν2q)f

=

4π3[PiRedge4GMtot2]eq{q3(P0Pi)[135q2bξ]+(1q3)+(P0Pi)25q5𝔉bξ}

 

=

4π3[P0Redge4GMtot2]eq{q3[135q2bξ]+(1q3)(1bξq2)+25q5𝔉bξ}

 

=

4π3[P0Redge4GMtot2]eq{1bξ[35q5+q2(1q3)25q5𝔉]}

 

=

4π3[P0Redge4GMtot2]eq[1bξq2+25q5(1+𝔉)]bξ

 

=

12[1bξq2+25q5(1+𝔉)](νq3)2

1bξ

=

25q5f+[q225q5(1+𝔉)]

(23π3)P0Redge4GMtot2(q3ν)2

=

q2+25q5(f1𝔉)

P0Redge4GMtot2

=

(323π)(νq3)2{q2+(ρeρc)[2q2(1q)+(ρeρc)(13q2+2q3)]}.

This exactly matches the equilibrium relation that was derived from our detailed force-balance analysis of (nc,ne)=(0,0) bipolytropes.
