Thermodynamics of the Climate System
نویسنده
چکیده
The NAMASTE project is developing new theoretical approaches and new diagnostic tools to analyse the structural properties of the climate system, work which could help improve our understanding of the global climate, its properties in past and present conditions, and how it may evolve in the future. We spoke to scientific coordinator Professor Valerio Lucarini about the project’s research and his plans for the future

The development and assessment of solar-driven Tri-generation system energy and optimization of criteria comparison
In this research, the thermodynamic investigation of the tri-generation system is performed by the first and second law of Thermodynamics. The trigeneration system under study consists of three subsystems including the solar subsystem, Kalina subsystem and lithium bromide-water absorption chiller subsystem. The proposed system generates power, cooling and hot water using solar energy. The syste...
متن کاملThermodynamics of climate change: generalized sensitivities
Using a recent theoretical approach, we study how global warming impacts the thermodynamics of the climate system by performing experiments with a simplified yet Earth-like climate model. The intensity of the Lorenz energy cycle, the Carnot efficiency, the material entropy production, and the degree of irreversibility of the system change monotonically with the CO2 concentration. Moreover, thes...
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 کاملThermodynamic Analysis of a Trigeneration System Based-on an Internal combustion Engine with a Steam Ejector Refrigeration System
This paper aims at studying a trigeneration system, based on an internal combustion engine and a steam ejector refrigeration system. The designed cycle is to generate cooling and heating energies, and supply power simultaneously. The cycle is studied from thermodynamics point of view and for this purpose, the first law of thermodynamics is applied to all components of the cycle. The efficiency ...
متن کاملThermodynamics and Kinetics of Vaporization of Pbs From Complex Cu-Fe Mattes
Thermodynamics and kinetics of vaporization of lead sulfide from typical copper-smelting mattes of commercial interest are investigated in the temperature range 1388 K to 1573 K by vapor transport technique and plasma arc spectroscopy. The total mass of the dominant vaporizing species PbS that leaves the matte is described by the Newman's numerical solution to the second Fick's law combined wit...
