- Simple equations to describe the stationary state of a collapsing hydrogen cloud in space
Hello,
I would like to go step by step trough the process of the generation of a star. An AI suggests for a simple model an adiabetic case (an improvement of the isothermal case) with ##\gamma=5/3##:
$$
\begin{align}
T &= T_0 \left(\frac{p}{p_0}\right)^{\gamma-1} \\
P &= \rho \frac{k_B T}{\mu m_H} \\
\frac{dP}{dr} &= -\frac{G M(r) \rho(r)}{r^2} \\
\frac{dM}{dr} &= 4\pi r^2 \rho(r)
\end{align}
$$
The solution looks wrong - identical to the iso-thermal case. I am asking myself how ##T_0## and ##p_0## should be assigned. For the temperature the AI takes 10K, okay... but shouldn't ##p_0## be a problem because it is initially almost 0? Also, the setup with both values determines the final result... isn't this wrong? Is a transient approach needed?
Thanks for your ideas!
