Install Slurm on my personal Fedora laptop

Slurm (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) is a group utilities used for managing workloads on computer clusters. It can also be sued in your personal laptop. 

  $sudo dnf install slurm slurm-slurmd slurm-slumrctld
  $sudo -u munge /usr/sbin/mungekey -v
  $sudo systemctl start munge
  $sudo systemctl status munge
  $sudo systemctl enable munge
  $munge -n | unmunge // check munge works
  $hostname -f // find out hostname
  $sudo vi  /etc/slurm/slurm.conf

Collision Energy

 The kinetic energy between two colliding particles can be expressed in terms of center of mass and relative velocity by

\[ E_k = \frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2 = \frac{1}{2} M v_c^2 + \frac{1}{2} \mu v_r^2 , \]

a sum of a center-of-mass term and a relative momentum term.

where $M$, $v_c$, $\nu$, and $v_r$ are given by

\[ M = (m_1+m_2) ; \]

\[ \mathbf{v_c} = \frac{m_1 \mathbf{v_1} + m_2 \mathbf{v_2}}{m_1 +m_2} ;\]

\[ \mu = \frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1 + m_2} ;\]

\[ \mathbf{v_r} = \mathbf{v_1} - \mathbf{v_2} .\]

$\frac{1}{2} \mu v_r^2$ is called collision energy.

amu is short for atomic mass unit. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.

Adiabatic Cooling

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat enters or leaves the system.

The thermdynamic first law takes the form

\[ dU=-PdV ,\]

since $dQ=0$.

Note that $C_v=(\partial U/ \partial T)_V$ , but the internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on the temperature and is independent of the volume (because there are no intermolecular forces). Thus for an ideal gas, we have

\[ dU=C_v dT = PdV \]

\[ PV= RT=（C_p-C_v)T  \]

\[ \gamma = C_p/C_v \]

Then we have

\[ TV^{\gamma-1}=const  \]

\[ d\ln(T)/dt = -(\gamma-1) \nabla \cdot u\]

where we have use 

\[ \frac{1}{V} \frac{dV}{dt} = \nabla \cdot  u \]

where $u$ is the flow speed.

Since $K_B T \propto E$, here $E$ is thermal energy. We have 

\[ d\ln(E)/dt = -(\gamma-1) \nabla \cdot u \]

For non-relativistic particle, $\gamma=5/3$, $E=p^2/m$.

For relativistic particle, $\gamma=4/3$, $E=pc$,

we have 

\[ \frac{dp}{dt} = -\frac{p}{3} \nabla \cdot u \]

The bulk of particles lose energy by adiabatic cooling due to the work that protons exert on the expanding material. Particles (pressure ?) do (positive) work on the expanding medium cause their bulk energy reduce.
