Energy transport:

  • Sources of Stellar Energy

    • H/He burning, Fusion processes up to 56Fe

  • Energy transfer

    • Equation of radiative energy transfer

    • Radiative vs convective. Conditions for convection to dominate the energy transport. 

    • Simplification for the treatment of convection: theory of mixing length
