Aims. Molecular emission lines originating in the nuclei of luminous infra-red galaxies are used to determine the physical properties of the nuclear ISM in these systems. Methods. A large observational database of molecular emission lines is compared with model predictions that include heating by UV and X-ray radiation; mechanical heating; and the effects of cosmic rays.Results. The observed line ratios and model predictions imply a separation of the observed systems into three groups: XDRs; UV-dominated high-density ( cm) PDRs; and lower-density ( cm) PDRs that are dominated by mechanical feedback.Conclusions. The division of the two types of PDRs follows naturally from the evolution of the star formation cycle of these sources; which evolves from deeply embedded young stars; resulting in high-density ( cm) PDRs; to a stage where the gas density has decreased ( cm) and mechanical feedback from supernova shocks dominates the heating budget. © 2008 ESO;
