===Explain Logic=== [[Image:FreeEnergyExample.jpg|right|400px]] The figure presented here, on the right, shows a plot of the free energy, as a function of the dimensionless radius, <math>~\mathfrak{G}^*(\chi)</math>, where, <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\mathfrak{G}^*</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ -~ 3\mathcal{A} \chi^{-1} - \frac{\mathcal{B}}{(1-\gamma_c)} ~\chi^{3-3\gamma_c} - \frac{\mathcal{C}}{(1-\gamma_e)} ~\chi^{3-3\gamma_e} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> and, where we have used the parameter values, <table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> <math>~\gamma_c = 6/5; ~~~ \gamma_e = 2</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <th align="center"> <math>~\mathcal{A}</math> </th> <th align="center"> <math>~\mathcal{B}</math> </th> <th align="center"> <math>~\mathcal{C}</math> </th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.201707 </td> <td align="center"> 0.0896 </td> <td align="center"> 0.002484 </td> </tr> </table> Directly from this plot we deduce that this free-energy function exhibits a minimum at <math>~\chi_\mathrm{eq} = 0.1235</math> and that, at this equilibrium radius, the configuration has a free-energy value, <math>~\mathfrak{G}^*(\chi_\mathrm{eq} ) = -2.0097</math>. Via the steps described below, we demonstrate that this identified equilibrium radius is appropriate for an <math>~(n_c, n_e) = (0, 0)</math> bipolytrope (with the just-specified core and envelope adiabatic indexes) that has the following physical properties: * Fractional core mass, <math>~\nu = 0.1</math>; * Core-envelope interface located at <math>~r_i/R = q = 0.435</math>; * Density jump at the core-envelope interface, <math>~\rho_e/\rho_c = 0.8</math>. '''<font color="red">Step 1:</font>''' Because the ratio, <math>~q^3/\nu</math>, is a linear function of the density ratio, <math>~\rho_e/\rho_c</math>, the full definition of the free-energy coefficient, <math>~\mathcal{A}</math>, can be restructured into a quadratic equation that gives the density ratio for any choice of the parameter pair, <math>~(q, \mathcal{A})</math>. Specifically, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~5 \biggl( \frac{q^3}{\nu} \biggr)^2 \mathcal{A}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> q^5 + \frac{5}{2} \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) (1 - q^2 )q^3 + \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr)^2 \biggl( 1 - \frac{5}{2}q^3 + \frac{3}{2}q^5\biggr) </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow ~~~~ 5\mathcal{A} \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) (1-q^3) + q^3 \biggr]^2 </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> q^5 + \frac{5}{2} \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) (1 - q^2 )q^3 + \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr)^2 \biggl( 1 - \frac{5}{2}q^3 + \frac{3}{2}q^5\biggr) \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> and this can be written in the form, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr)^2 a + \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) b + c</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> 0 \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~a</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~5\mathcal{A} (1-q^3)^2 - 1 + \frac{5}{2}q^3 - \frac{3}{2}q^5 \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~b</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~10\mathcal{A} q^3(1-q^3) - \frac{5}{2}q^3 (1-q^2) \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~c</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~5\mathcal{A} q^6 - q^5 \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{2a} \biggl[\pm ( b^2 - 4ac)^{1/2} - b \biggr] \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> (For our physical problem it appears as though only the positive root is relevant.) For the purposes of this example, we set <math>~\mathcal{A} = 0.2017</math> and examined a range of values of <math>~q</math> to find a physically interesting value for the density ratio. We picked: <table border="1" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~\mathcal{A}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~q</math> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~a</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~b</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~c</math> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c}</math> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\nu</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~0.2017</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.435</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>\Rightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.03173</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~-0.01448</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~-0.008743</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>\Rightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.80068</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>\Rightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.10074</math> </td> </tr> </table> '''<font color="red">Step 2:</font>''' Next, we chose the parameter pair, <div align="center"> <math> ~\biggl(q, \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) = (0.43500, 0.80000) </math> </div> and determined the following parameter values from the known analytic solution: <table border="1" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~\nu</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~f\biggl(q, \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~g^2\biggl(q, \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\Lambda_\mathrm{eq}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\chi_\mathrm{eq}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\mathcal{A}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\mathcal{B}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\mathcal{C}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~0.100816</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~43.16365</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~3.923017</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.13684</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.12349</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.201707</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.089625</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~0.002484</math> </td> </tr> </table>
