Angular momentum loss from quadrupole EM radiation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding the general formula for angular momentum radiated from quadrupolar electromagnetic radiation, as existing sources primarily cover dipolar contributions. A proposed formula for angular momentum loss is presented, derived using dimensional analysis and energy considerations. The formula is dL_i/dt = - (1/90) (1/4πε_0c^5) ε_{ijk} ddot{Q}_{jl} dddot{Q}_{lk}. The user seeks confirmation and references regarding this formula, indicating a lack of information on electromagnetic radiation in the forum. The energy radiated from the quadrupole contribution is noted as a well-established result.

I'm looking for the general formula for Angular Momentum radiated away from quadrupolar electromagnetic radiation. I searched the usual books (Jackson, Landau-Lifchitz, ...) and just found the usual dipolar contributions.

Using dimensional analysis and energy radiated away, I found this formula, but I need a confirmation that it's the right one.

\frac{dL_i}{dt} = - \frac{1}{90} \, \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 c^5} \, \varepsilon_{ijk} \; \ddot{Q}_{jl} \; \dddot{Q}_{lk}.

Someone has a comment on this ? Any reference ?

Nobody knows anything about electromagnetic radiation here ?

For reference, the energy radiated away from the quadrupole contribution is

\frac{dE}{dt} = -\: \frac{1}{180} \, \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 c^5} \; \dddot{Q}_{ij} \; \dddot{Q}_{ij}.

This is a standard well-known result.

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
