Abstract
Based on the turbulent convection model, we propose new energy named turbulent thermal energy to explain the observed mass loss, and correspondingly propose a modified criterion on mass loss. We obtain the mass-loss rates and make a test of the proposal for the RGB and EAGB stars. The results coincide with the observational data, and also agree with the results of some other semi-empirical formulae based on the fundamental stellar parameters.
