Scientific paper

We compute the energy, DE, dissipated due to viscous friction over a time period equal to the rotation decay time of a differentially rotating visco-polytropic model. We then study the relation between DE and Delta T, i.e., the difference in the rotational kinetic energies at the beginning and at the end of this period. Such a study results in the description of an efficient differential-rotation-setup mechanism.
