Scientific paper

Consideration is given to the range of turbulent Mach number (alpha), accretion rate (M), and compact object mass (M) values for which there is a self-consistent solution for the two-temperature accretion disk model. The bounds imposed on electron temperature and ionic temperature are examined, showing that ionic temperature has a lower bound imposed by gas pressure dominance and an upper bound imposed by thin disk approximation. It is found that the range of parameters (alpha, M, and M) for which there is a consistent solution is very narrow. It is shown that Cygnus X-1 satisfies the constraint only for mildly subsonic turbulence.
