In astrophysics, the thermal time scale or Kelvin-Helmholtz time scale is the approximate time it takes for a star to radiate away its total kinetic energy content at its current luminosity rate. Along with the nuclear and free-fall (aka dynamical) time scales, it is used to estimate the length of time a particular star will remain in a certain phase of its life and its lifespan if hypothetical conditions are met. In reality, the lifespan of a star is greater than what is estimated by the thermal time scale because as one fuel becomes scarce, another will generally take its place – hydrogen burning gives way to helium burning, which is replaced by carbon burning.

  • In astrophysics, the thermal time scale or Kelvin-Helmholtz time scale is the approximate time it takes for a star to radiate away its total kinetic energy content at its current luminosity rate. Along with the nuclear and free-fall (aka dynamical) time scales, it is used to estimate the length of time a particular star will remain in a certain phase of its life and its lifespan if hypothetical conditions are met. In reality, the lifespan of a star is greater than what is estimated by the thermal time scale because as one fuel becomes scarce, another will generally take its place – hydrogen burning gives way to helium burning, which is replaced by carbon burning.

  • Тепловое время, время Кельвина–Гельмгольца (англ. thermal time scale) — оценка времени, которое понадобилось бы звезде, чтобы выделить излучить полную кинетическую энергию при современной светимости. Наряду с ядерным и динамическим временем, тепловое время используется для оценки времени, в течение которого данная звезда останется на конкретной стадии эволюции при соблюдении определённых условий. В действительности время жизни звезды гораздо больше, чем значение теплового времени, поскольку после завершения горения водорода может начаться горение гелия, а затем — горение углерода. (ru)
