Sentences with phrase «maintains energy equilibrium»

ie Mother Nature (physics) has a perfect feedback mechanism that maintains energy equilibrium instantaneously regardless of how we mess up the atmosphere.

Not exact matches

Suns and stars maintain a range of temperatures strictly due to a equilibrium between the outward pressure of the energy from nuclear fusion and the inward pressure of gravity.
You see, your body likes to be in a state of constant equilibrium - that's what hunger is for - to remind you to eat so you can maintain a steady energy state.
The vast majority of the energy your body needs to maintain the systemic equilibrium comes from environmental infrared light exposure
According to Wunsch, as little as one - third of the energy your body requires for maintaining the thermal equilibrium comes from the food you eat.
In equilibrium to maintain the energy balance of the earth you must have just as much long wave radiation passing through (and warming) the top layer as before.
This simple radiative example (convective transport is not being allowed) shows that any finite surface temperature Ts can be supported in radiative equilibrium with any arbitrarily cold «upper atmosphere» temperature Tt, by prescribing the appropriate LW opacity TAU for the atmospheric layer, with the energy required to maintain a fixed Ts adjusted accordingly.
When above the equilibrium level BNO (S) will require additional surface energy to maintain the global temperature and will require to store energy away when temperature is below the equilibrium level.
For those who want to check out the physics, read up the statistical thermodynamics which leads to Kirchhoff; s law of radiation and realise that «Prevost exchange energy» is needed to connect the IR density of states in the two objects in radiative equilibrium and maintain absorptivity = emissivity.
In isothermal equilibrium, the system is in perfect force balance, there is no net dynamical transport of mass up or down, no net change whatsoever of gravitational potential energy — but heat conduction still functions to maintain equal temperature and restore equilibrium after a perturbation.
If the atmosphere is in complete thermodynamic equilibrium, then this means that any «infrared energy» which is absorbed by an «air parcel» is immediately redistributed throughout the atmosphere, to maintain thermodynamic equilibrium.
If it can not warm the oceans and yet the radiative balance between solar energy in and radiative energy out has to be maintained then all that is left is for it to be ejected faster to space in order to maintain the radiative balance and if that happens then no change in the equilibrium temperature of the Earth can occur.
The twin consequences of this are a) the hotter body cools more slowly; and b) if the hotter body was at a dynamical equilibrium temperature that was maintained relative to the colder body by some constant input of heat, interpolating the absorber layer will force its temperature higher so that it can maintain the same rate of energy loss and remain in dynamical equilibrium.
The system is not in equilibrium (since there is a net flow of energy outwards of 235 W / m ^ 2), and that state is maintained only by the internal nuclear decay, supplying the energy that is being lost to space.
Those like you, Basil, who call upon the authority of journals and persons in the climatology field (who obviously, like yourself, demonstrate a serious lack of understanding of such matters as thermodynamic equilibrium, entropy and unbalanced energy potentials) epitomise the process whereby the greatest hoax of all time has been, and continues to be promulgated by those with personal pecuniary interests in maintaining the status quo.
Only if the oceans freeze across their entire surfaces thereby causing the hydrological cycle to cease or if the sun puts in energy faster than it can be pumped upward by the hydrological cycle will the basic temperature equilibrium derived from the properties of water and the density and pressure of the atmosphere fail to be maintained.
Warm air can not significantly affect the oceans due to the huge difference in thermal capacities and by the effect of evaporation which removes unwanted energy to latent form as necessary to maintain the said equilibrium.
A photon, better just a certain amount of energy, that just jumps around in the atmosphere does absolutely but to maintain equilibrium, radiative, temperature, pressure and density.
Even if we could create energy at will, at some point it becomes impossible to radiate enough of it away from the planet to maintain equilibrium:
These scenarios were analyzed using the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), an energy - economic equilibrium model of energy markets in the United States, maintained by the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration Energy Modeling System (NEMS), an energy - economic equilibrium model of energy markets in the United States, maintained by the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration energy - economic equilibrium model of energy markets in the United States, maintained by the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration energy markets in the United States, maintained by the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration Energy's Energy Information Administration Energy Information Administration (EIA).
But, it can warm the air close to the ground, if the air is cooler, and does do that if that very energy just bounces around locally in the air maintaining equilibrium and equipartition, and this is what normally happens (really it is thermalization and re-emission from the GHGs), in your room, on your patio, in a field, on the ocean, its just it can never raise the temperature greater than the local surface itself is.
