Can Radio Source Heating Offset the Cooling Flow (A2052)?
- Total energy output of the radio source, including the work done on compressing the gas is 5/2 PV =                   	       ergs         
-                               With kT = 3 keV and                         				= 42 Msun/yr,          				   Lcool = 3 x 1043 erg/s.
- If the repetition rate of the radio source is 108 yr (as with Perseus and A2597), E/t for the radio source is 3 x 1043 erg/s.
