Focus on Zero-Zero Free-Energy Expression[edit]
Here, we will draw heavily from the following accompanying chapters:
From Detailed Force-Balance Models[edit]
Equilibrium Radius[edit]
First View[edit]
In an accompanying chapter we find,
|
|
|
|
where,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here, we prefer to normalize the equilibrium radius to . So, let's replace the central pressure with its expression in terms of . Specifically,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or, in terms of ,

Second View[edit]
Alternatively, from our derivation and discussion of analytic detailed force-balance models,
|
|
|
|
where,
|
|
|
|
In order to show that this expression is the same as the other one, above, we need to show that,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

Let's see …

Hence, the equilibrium radius can also be written as,
|
|

or, in terms of the polytropic index,

Gravitational Potential Energy[edit]

Internal Energy Components[edit]
First View[edit]
Before writing out the expressions for the internal energy of the core and of the envelope, we note from our separate detailed derivation that, in either case,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where, in equilibrium,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, copying from our accompanying detailed derivation, we have,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hence, we have,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second View[edit]
In our accompanying discussion of energies associated with detailed force balance models, we used the notation,
|
|
|
|
which allows us to rewrite the above quoted relationship between the central pressure and the radius of the bipolytrope as,
We also showed that, in equilibrium, the relationship between the central pressure and the interface pressure is,
This means that, in equilibrium, the ratio of the interface pressure to the central pressure is,
|
|
|
|
or given that (see above),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we have,
|
|
|
|
This is exactly the pressure-ratio expression presented in our "first view" and unveils the notation association,
|
|
|
|
From our separate derivation, we have, in equilibrium,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, switching from the notation to the notation gives,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which, after setting , precisely matches the above, "first view" expression. Also from our previous derivation, we can write,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And, finally, switching from the notation to the notation gives,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which, after setting , precisely matches the above, "first view" expression.
Summary00[edit]
In summary, the desired out of equilibrium free-energy expression is,
|
|
|
|
where,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or, in a more compact form,
|
|
|
|
where,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's examine the behavior of the first radial derivative.
|
|
|
|
Let's see whether the sum of terms inside the square brackets is zero at the derived equilibrium radius, that is, when and, hence, when
