Description
Summary:From the values of period changes for 6 close binary stars the mass transfer rate was calculated. Comparing these values M t with the values of shell masses M sh , the expression was derived. The analysis of this expression points out the initial character of the outflow of matter, and one may determine the time interval of the substitution of the shell matter. So one may conclude that for a certain mass transfer rate, a certain amount of matter accumulates in the nearby regions of the system.
