Protostellar outflows interact with their gaseous surroundings,
injecting momentum and energy into their parent molecular cloud.
The interaction between the outflow and the cloud could play a
crucial role in the chemical composition of the gas (e.g.,
Jorgensen et al. 2004), the turbulence of the cloud (e.g.,
Williams et al. 2003; Li & Nakamura 2006) and the cloud's
velocity and density distribution (Arce & Goodman 2001;2002).
Morphology and velocity structure are two relatively well-
studied physical characteristics of molecular outflows. On the
other hand, the energetics and temperature structure of outflows
have been rarely studied. Further studies of outflow energetics
are needed in order to fully understand
