EQUATIONS OF STELLAR STRUCTURE General Equations
EQUATIONS OF STELLAR STRUCTUREG eneral EquationsWe shall consider a spherically symmetric, self-gravitating star. All the physical quantities willdepend on two independent variables:radiusandtime, (r, t). First, we shall derive all the equationsof STELLAR STRUCTURE in a General , non spherical case, but very quickly we shall restrict ourselves tothe spherically symmetric microscopic properties of matter at any given point may be described with density , tem-peratureT, and chemical composition, the abundances of various elementsXi, withi= 1,2, as many values as there are elements. All thermodynamic properties and transport coeffi-cients are functions of ( , T, Xi). In particular we have: pressureP( , T, Xi), internal energy perunit volumeU( , T, Xi), entropy per unit massS( , T, Xi), coefficient of thermal conductivity perunit volume ( , T, Xi), and heat source or heat sink per unit mass ( , T, Xi). All the partialderivatives ofP,U, , and are also functions of ,T, andXi.
stellar structure equations becomes much more complicated. Still another physical process which is important in some stars is a diffusion of elements with different mean molecular weight, or different ratio of electric charge to mass, or different cross section
