Diathermal and Adiabatic Walls in Stellar Metamorphosis

Authors: Jeffrey Joseph Wolynski

Walls that permit the transfer of heat between system and surroundings are diathermal. Walls that do not permit the transfer of heat between system and surrounds are adiabatic (e.g., good insulators). Young stars’ walls are diathermal and shine, as their outer walls (the photosphere) directly transfer heat to outer space which acts as a tremendous, eternal heat sink. As the stars age, the ionized hydrogen combines with itself forming hydrogen gas which has an extremely high thermal heat capacity and makes the star’s outer walls adiabatic. What this means is that stars as they evolve become insulating and trap their heat for longer periods of time as they age and evolve and form the “planet” in their interiors.
