متن کاملThermodynamic efficiency and entropy production in the climate system.
We present an outlook on the climate system thermodynamics. First, we construct an equivalent Carnot engine with efficiency eta and frame the Lorenz energy cycle in a macroscale thermodynamic context. Then, by exploiting the second law, we prove that the lower bound to the entropy production is eta times the integrated absolute value of the internal entropy fluctuations. An exergetic interpreta...
متن کاملA neoproterozoic snowball earth
Negative carbon isotope anomalies in carbonate rocks bracketing Neoproterozoic glacial deposits in Namibia, combined with estimates of thermal subsidence history, suggest that biological productivity in the surface ocean collapsed for millions of years. This collapse can be explained by a global glaciation (that is, a snowball Earth), which ended abruptly when subaerial volcanic outgassing rais...
متن کاملAftermath of a snowball Earth
[1] Using a simple 3-box model of the ocean-atmosphere system, we simulate the cycling of carbon and strontium in the aftermath of a global glaciation. Model simulations include the delivery of alkalinity to seawater from intense carbonate and silicate weathering under high pCO2 conditions as well as ocean mixing, air-sea gas exchange, and biological productivity. The dC of the first carbonate ...
متن کاملTopological Torsion and Thermodynamic Irreversibility
Cartan's di®erential topology is used to construct a method for determining if a process applied to a physical system is thermodynamically irreversible.
