Abstract

We study a two-temperature, viscous accretion flow around the Schwarzschild black hole. We obtain global transonic accretion solutions (GTAS) that include stationary shock waves considering various radiative cooling mechanisms, namely Bremsstrahlung, Synchrotron and Compton cooling processes, respectively. We observe that GTAS severely depends on the cooling efficiencies as the dynamics of the dissipative accreting matter is governed by the accretion rate (( , in Eddington unit).
