From y = 1.18, y=l-A Y= -1 2.2 - 0*4/y X 2.2-0.4/y 12.2 - x 1-85 11.2 and the isothermal sphere disappears for l/1 . e6 x = 12.2 = 3.811- 2 For these higher altitudes, then, the time when the isothermal sphere (6 -18) (6.20) disappears is a fixed multiple of the time when it is first reached by the cooling wave. This multiple depends only on y, and on the ratio Hc/Hl of internal to external ent'nalpy at time ta. Tne pressure at the time x is 2 1/3 -1.2 P2 = PaX2 .= 1.0 ($) (6.21) For sea level, f (x) increases more slovly (the pressure decreases more slovly) with time; hence it takes somewhat longer to use q the isotnemal sphere. Conversely, t'ne pressure at the time t = t x will have 2 aa decreased by a smaller factor from pa. For the simple case of nigher altitude, we can use (6.19) to calculate the fraction of the mass y 3 which - will still be in the isothermal
sphere, its radius R /R and other physical data. Some of these are 1 c’ given in Table M. It is seen from the table that the mass decreases, first fairly uniformly and rapidly (as if it would go to zero at x = 2.8), then more slowly (because it is proportional to y 3 ), while the radius first expands slightly, then shrinks slowly and at the end very rapidly. The latter phenomenon, the rapid shrinking of the apparent fireball, may not be observable because the bomb debris becomes visible and is laeQr -to be still opaque. But some shrinkage of the fireball should be open . to observation. Table M. Development of Isothermal Sphere and Warm Layer due to Cooling Wave x = t/ta 1.0 1.2 1.5 2.0 2 -5 3.0 3.5 3.84 C. The Warm Laver We want to assume that the outer edge of the warm layer, the 4000° temperature level, stays fixed in tine material (Sec. 6a). We wish to 2 calculate the thickness of the warm layer in gm/m , 77 *..
