  • In this paper, we apply a new decomposition method for solving initial and boundary value problems, which is due to Noor and Noor [18]. The analytical results are calculated in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. The diagonal Pade approximants are applied to make the work more concise and for the better understanding of the solution behavior. The proposed technique is tested on boundary layer problem; Thomas-Fermi, Blasius and sixth-order singularly perturbed Boussinesq equations. Numerical results reveal the complete reliability of the suggested scheme. This new decomposition method can be viewed as an alternative of Adomian decomposition method and homotopy perturbation methods.

  • We have applied the temperature dependent Thomas-Fermi theory to evaluate the equations of state, chemical potentials, entropies, % ionizations, total energies and kinetic energies of an atom, and seveal thermodynamic quantifies of one of metallic substance, Na, for a density range of 0.1$\rho$$_{0}$ ~ 10$\rho$$_{0}$, where $\rho$$_{0}$ is the normal density of Na at its melting point, and for a temperature range of 60.88Ryd. ~0.0216 Ryd., where the system is expected to be in a gaseous or liquid state. The main interest of present work lies in physical quantities at high temperatures and high densities, however, we have included those quantities of Na at sufficiently low temperatures and low densities to show that the approximation is not so crude as one might expect. Particularly, at high temperatures, the calculated equations of state, kinetic energies of an atom, chemical potentials and entropies are compared with those, of an ideal Fermi gas. The results show that, at high temperatures, the agreement seems good for chemical Potentials. However, the differences in, entropy, kinetic energy of an atom, and equation of state are not negligible even at such high temperature as $textsc{k}$T=60.88Ryd.

  • In the framework of Thomas-Fermi equation, we have examined the properties of neutron star by assuming the existence of a new intermediate force which is composition dependent. We have found that the structure, size and mass of neutron star are affected by the strength and range of this new force. In the ultrarelativistic limit, we have also confirmed that Chandraseknar mass, $M_{ch}\simeq(1-\alpha)^{-3/2}{m_{pl}}^3/m^2$ is determined by the constants of classical physical laws, which take part in the selfgravitating processes on neutron star as well as the constant of hypothetical fifth force. In the experimental limits of the fifth force, the changes of size and mass of a neutron star are in the order of strength parameter $\alpha$.

  • This paper deals with the computational work to characterize the formation and pinching of a plasma in an X-pinch configuration. A resistive magnetohydrodynamic model of a single fluid and two temperature is adopted assuming a hollow conical structure in the (r,z) domain. The model includes the thermodynamic parameter of tungsten from the corrected Thomas-Fermi EOS(equation of state), determining the average ionization charge, pressure, and internal energy. The transport coefficients, resistivity and thermal conductivity, are obtained by the corrected Lee & More model and a simple radiation loss rate by recombination process is considered in the simulation. The simulation demonstrated the formation of a core-corona plasma and intense compression process near the central region which agrees with the experimental observation in the X-pinch device at Seoul National University. In addition, it confirmed the increase in radiation loss rate with the density and temperature of the core plasma.
