Correlation of Pool Boiling Curves for the Homologous Group: Freons

Nomenclature C L = specific heat of liquid g = gravitational acceleration h fg = latent heat of evaporation k L = thermal conductivity of liquid P c = thermodynamic critical pressure <7> <7max> tfmin = heat flux, maximum flux, minimum flux Introduction A knowledge of the complete boiling curve q versus AT for a liquid, including the regimes of nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and film boiling, and the peak and minimum crisis points is needed for the design and operation of various types of heat transfer equipment. No general method exists for predicting the complete curve. Most difficult is the prediction of the nucleate boiling curve, the transition curve, and the temperature that separates the two. If the curve for every liquid at every pressure must be determined experimentally, we are faced with a formidable task. This paper shows that some simplification is possible for members of a homologous group

Global behavior of solutions to the static spherically symmetric EYM equations

The set of all possible spherically symmetric magnetic static Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations for an arbitrary compact semi-simple gauge group $G$ was classified in two previous papers. Local analytic solutions near the center and a black hole horizon as well as those that are analytic and bounded near infinity were shown to exist. Some globally bounded solutions are also known to exist because they can be obtained by embedding solutions for the $G=SU(2)$ case which is well understood. Here we derive some asymptotic properties of an arbitrary global solution, namely one that exists locally near a radial value $r_{0}$, has positive mass $m(r)$ at $r_{0}$ and develops no horizon for all $r>r_{0}$. The set of asymptotic values of the Yang-Mills potential (in a suitable well defined gauge) is shown to be finite in the so-called regular case, but may form a more complicated real variety for models obtained from irregular rotation group actions.Comment: 43 page

On rotational excitations and axial deformations of BPS monopoles and Julia-Zee dyons

It is shown that Julia-Zee dyons do not admit slowly rotating excitations. This is achieved by investigating the complete set of stationary excitations which can give rise to non-vanishing angular momentum. The relevant zero modes are parametrized in a gauge invariant way and analyzed by means of a harmonic decomposition. Since general arguments show that the solutions to the linearized Bogomol'nyi equations cannot contribute to the angular momentum, the relevant modes are governed by a set of electric and a set of non self-dual magnetic perturbation equations. The absence of axial dipole deformations is also established.Comment: 22 pages, Revtex, no figure

Pulsation of Spherically Symmetric Systems in General Relativity

The pulsation equations for spherically symmetric black hole and soliton solutions are brought into a standard form. The formulae apply to a large class of field theoretical matter models and can easily be worked out for specific examples. The close relation to the energy principle in terms of the second variation of the Schwarzschild mass is also established. The use of the general expressions is illustrated for the Einstein-Yang-Mills and the Einstein-Skyrme system.Comment: 21 pages, latex, no figure

Monopoles, Dyons and Black Holes in the Four-Dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills Theory

A continuum of monopole, dyon and black hole solutions exist in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. Their structure is studied in detail. The solutions are classified by non-Abelian electric and magnetic charges and the ADM mass. The stability of the solutions which have no node in non-Abelian magnetic fields is established. There exist critical spacetime solutions which terminate at a finite radius, and have universal behavior. The moduli space of the solutions exhibits a fractal structure as the cosmological constant approaches zero.Comment: 36 Pages, 16 Figures. Minor typos corrected and one figure modifie

Black hole polarization and new entropy bounds

Zaslavskii has suggested how to tighten Bekenstein's bound on entropy when the object is electrically charged. Recently Hod has provided a second tighter version of the bound applicable when the object is rotating. Here we derive Zaslavskii's optimized bound by considering the accretion of an ordinary charged object by a black hole. The force originating from the polarization of the black hole by a nearby charge is central to the derivation of the bound from the generalized second law. We also conjecture an entropy bound for charged rotating objects, a synthesis of Zaslavskii's and Hod's. On the basis of the no hair principle for black holes, we show that this last bound cannot be tightened further in a generic way by knowledge of ``global'' conserved charges, e.g., baryon number, which may be borne by the object.Comment: 21 pages, RevTex, Regularization of potential made clearer.

Robust evolution system for Numerical Relativity

The paper combines theoretical and applied ideas which have been previously considered separately into a single set of evolution equations for Numerical Relativity. New numerical ingredients are presented which avoid gauge pathologies and allow one to perform robust 3D calculations. The potential of the resulting numerical code is demonstrated by using the Schwarzschild black hole as a test-bed. Its evolution can be followed up to times greater than one hundred black hole masses.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures; figure correcte

Stable monopole and dyon solutions in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in asymptotically anti-de Sitter Space

A continuum of new monopole and dyon solutions in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space are found. They are regular everywhere and specified with their mass, and non-Abelian electric and magnetic charges. A class of monopole solutions which have no node in non-Abelian magnetic fields are shown to be stable against spherically symmetric linear perturbations.Comment: 9 pages with 5 figures.

Cosmological Sphaleron from Real Tunneling and Its Fate

We show that the cosmological sphaleron of Einstein-Yang-Mills system can be produced from real tunneling geometries. The sphaleron will tend to roll down to the vacuum or pure gauge field configuration, when the universe evolves in the Lorentzian signature region with the sphaleron and the corresponding hypersurface being the initial data for the Yang-Mills field and the universe, respectively. However, we can also show that the sphaleron, although unstable, can be regarded as a pseudo-stable solution because its lifetime is even much greater than those of the universe.Comment: 20 pages, LaTex, article 12pt style, TIT/HEP-242/COSMO-3

Perturbations of global monopoles as a black hole's hair

We study the stability of a spherically symmetric black hole with a global monopole hair. Asymptotically the spacetime is flat but has a deficit solid angle which depends on the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field. When the vacuum expectation value is larger than a certain critical value, this spacetime has a cosmological event horizon. We investigate the stability of these solutions against the spherical and polar perturbations and confirm that the global monopole hair is stable in both cases. Although we consider some particular modes in the polar case, our analysis suggests the conservation of the "topological charge" in the presence of the event horizons and violation of black hole no-hair conjecture in asymptotically non-flat spacetime.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, some descriptions were improve
