Cooling energy density

From the thermodynamic standpoint, the basic components of stars can be considered as photons, ions and electrons. The material particle gas (fermions) and the photon gas (bosons) react differently under compression and expansion. Put n photons and n material particles into a box. Let R be the size of the box (i.e. a characteristic dimension or scale factor). The relation between temperature and size is TR = constant for the photons and TR = constant for the particles. This difference of behaviour is very important in the Big Bang theory, for these equations show quite unmistakably that matter cools more quickly than radiation under the effects of expansion. Hence, a universe whose energy density is dominated by radiation cannot remain this way for long, in fact, no longer than 1 million years. 

A few minutes into the expansion, when the temperature had dropped to 109 degrees, neutrons combined with protons to form deuterium and helium nuclei. Most protons remained uncombined as hydrogen nuclei. As the universe continued to cool, the rest mass energy density of matter (gravity) came to exceed the energy density of the photons... 

To date, neither PAH emission nor absorption has been detected in the circumstellar envelope around a cool carbon star PAH emission has only been seen in carbon-rich environments where there is substantial energy density of ultraviolet radiation. This correlation could simply be an excitation effect the carbon features are only excited by the presence of ultraviolet radiation. However, it could also be that carbon particles are eroded into PAHs in the environment where ultraviolet penetrates either directly by the ultraviolet radiation or indirectly by shocks that accompany the radiation. 

The heart of a furnace black production plant is the furnace in which the carbon black is formed. The feedstock is injected, usually as an atomized spray, into a high-temperature and high-energy density zone, which is achieved by burning a fuel (natural gas or oil) with air. The oxygen, which is in excess with respect to the fuel, is not sufficient for the complete combustion of the feedstock, which therefore is, for the most part, pyrolyzed to form carbon black at temperatures of 1200-1900 °C. After the reaction mixture is quenched with water and further cooled in heat exchangers, the carbon black is collected from the tail gas by using a filter system. 

VRLA will also require cooling to some degree through fans and ductwork to be consistent, this mass and cost should be factored into the energy density of VRLA. 

Using the stack geometry and stack cooling described in the previous section, the fuel cell stack occupies ca. 100 cm The space requirement for the stack would therefore increase by 50-100% to fulfill the cooling requirements, so that the fuel cell stack and fan cooler would account for ca. 20% of the notebook s volume. Thus, even if the energy density of the stack can be increased by further miniaturization, the space necessary for heat removal will continue to pose a serious obstacle to miniaturization. 

PTBA also exhibits excellent strain fixity (ability to retain its actuated shape upon cooling) and strain recovery. In its softened state PTBA also possesses excellent actuation properties with a breakdown field strength in excess of 250 MV/m, a maximum strain of 335% in area, a maximum actuation stress of 3.2 MPa and an energy density of 1.2 J cm , values that rival even the best of the conventional dielectric elastomer materials. The BSEP is the first active material that possesses bistable actuation with high strain and specific power density.
