Two Argonne physicists offered a way to mathematically describe a particular physics phenomenon called a phase transition in a system out of equilibrium (that is, with energy moving through it) by using imaginary numbers.

Not exact matches

The team took the system, forced it out - of - equilibrium using a driving force, and subsequently switched the force off to measure the vibrational amplitude as the energy of the system decayed.

The «temporary - worker model» the United States uses to staff its labs «is completely out of equilibrium, [because] the country doesn't have the absorptive capacity» to provide career employment — rather than just temporary jobs — to all of the young scientists that the system produces, Gerbi continues.

They applied the trick to describe other out - of - equilibrium phase transitions, such as a dynamic Mott transition and a spin system, and saw the results agreed with either observed experiments or simulations.

A challenging topic of research has been the application of classical thermodynamics to out of equilibrium systems, e.g., granular gas and materials, the construction of phase diagrams in hard sphere packing in 3D, and plasma.

But whereas Einstein's work was on equilibrium systems, Mayor is studying systems that are out of equilibrium.

Vegetables (as well as fruit) also supply us with fiber that binds itself to old estrogen, thereby clearing it out of the system, leading to better overall equilibrium.

But if conditions change to upset the natural equilibrium (such as some kind of suppression of the dog's immune system), the Demodex mites multiply out of control leading to a serious skin disease.

However, in an essence of equilibrium and unparalleled fairness, enemies (including bosses) also rely on this same Ki system, and are prone to the same detriments and stylistic finishing moves if they are staggered and run out of Ki.

If we start out with a balanced system which contains frozen water at the poles, the mid to high latitudes begin to thaw, triggering soil greenhouse gas feedbacks (permafrost thaw and following oxic and anoxic sources add to the greenhouse gas budget), a chronic linear process (which helps to accelerate changes of the equilibrium state, reduces the ability of the atmosphere to break down greenhouse gases — less hydroxide radicals).

If we initialize the anomaly at -0.4 C, which amounts to an assumption that the system is wildly out of equilibrium in 1900, then this is what we get:

The effect it has on the equilibrium sensitivity is more indirect, as the more the ocean can buffer excess heat, the more chance it will give for CO2 to sequester out of the system.

On top of what you described, I would add another layer — that the Earth as a whole is a far - from - equilibrium system, and is constantly in a process of DOING WORK — instilling order out of incident energy.

It turns out that like all tightly coupled systems, the ocean and the atmosphere like to be in equilibrium with each other, which means that the chemistry of the ocean is affected by the chemistry of the atmosphere.

The only things that can change that resultant point of temperature equilibrium significantly are changes in solar radiance coming in and changes in overall atmospheric density (a function of mass and pressure) which affect the radiant energy going out or a change in the speed of the water cycle which, because of the unique characteristics of the phase changes of water altering the speed of energy flow through the system is capable of exerting a powerful regulatory effect.

Yes, you're absolutely right, the system is out of equilibrium, with CO2 moving into the oceans.

KR: Yes, you're absolutely right, the system is out of equilibrium, with CO2 moving into the oceans.

I belong to the minority that doesn't look at the system as a quasi static deterministic equilibrium system but as a strongly out of equilibrium dynamical system.

Surely dynamic systems can be in «equilibrium» in that there is no net flow into or out of the system, but still allow a cyclical flow within the system.

I think you're conceptualizing that we have this nice stable climate system, and that as we kick it out of equilibrium and it transitions to something else, it's not going to go quietly, much like a river changing its course.

-- only energy balance matters (here comes the school of people saying that the system is trivially simple because it exchanges energy only by radiation)-- only «equilibrium» matters (here comes the school of people who compare the system to a small ball slightly moved away from its equilibrium position inside a spherical bowl)-- space doesn't matter (this is a tautology because if a 3D system can be reduced to 1D and still predicted, then the «neglected» 2 D obviously didn't matter)-- from the above follows also necessarily that everything that happens in the real 3D world can only be noise (here comes the school of people who say that everything averages out)

QUOTE: «As shown on figure 17 - D the regions for absorption and out - gassing are separate; there is no «global» equilibrium between the atmosphere and the ocean; carbon absorbed tens of years ago at high latitudes is resurfacing in up - wellings; carbon absorbed by plants months to centuries ago is degassed by soils Sorry, there is a fundamental lack of knowledge of dynamic systems here: as long as the total of the CO2 influxes is the same as the total of the CO2 outfluxes, nothing happens in the atmosphere.

That flow of energy prevents any equilibrium ever being reached between the components of the system because the equilibrium is set by the rates of flow of energy in and energy out and not by absolute temperature.

The earth / sun system is never in perfect equilibrium but it will always seek to attain equilibrium and the farther out of equilibrium the harder it tries to reach equilibrium.

There's the additional fact that while some parts of the climate system can adjust on a timescale of a few decades, others adjust so slowly that they will still be out of equilibrium several centuries from now.

It is indeed a wonder how a complex system, like the human body, works to create such a fine equilibrium, and that when the system goes even slightly out of equilibrium, it spells trouble.

At its most basic, global warming is trivial, and beyond any doubt: add more energy to a system (by adding more infra - red absorbing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere), and the system gets hotter (because, being knocked out of equilibrium, it will heat up faster than it loses heat to space, up and until it reaches a new equilibrium).
