DOes it account "with precision" for the entirety of it though?


I don't see how. Pressure is high for the IGL to start with. Plus it doesn't consider the energy the sun is providing and what fraction is being radiated away.

I don't see how.
Nor do I.
But, I'm always deferent to math majors.

I may be missing something.

It's so tiny relative to water vapor and methane, it's almost laughable we waste any energy at all on worrying about CO2.

Well at least relative to water vapor and atm pressure.

Any warming "study" that doesn't include solar activity from the Sun is disingenuous and has an agenda imo.

If I turn my thermostat up 5 degrees, that is likely the cause of increased temperature in my house, correct?? I can close the blinds, take cold showers, not use the stove or oven, and measure the impact. Or I could just lower my thermostat back down....

Do you even correlation vs causation?

Not just IYO.
As a matter of fact.
Indisputable fact.

Obviously not accounting for the sun would make a study worthless. Those doing studies do know the sun is a thing and has cycles.

Yes, not removing that heat from the system would raise the temperature.

Can I impose on you to do that math for this chem/bio major?




The ideal gas law can be rearranged as a function of density (d) to drop the volume term.

So PV = nRT solved for T and include density ---->


T = P/Rd/n or T = Pn/Rd

This is the mean temperature (T in kelvin), mean pressure (P in KPa), mean density (d in kg/m^3) and the universal gas constant (R at 8.314 J/mol-K).

Mean surface pressure of Venus is 92.1 atmospheres = 9332 KPa.

Mean surface density of Venus is 67 kg/m^3.

Mean moles is 43.45

T = 9332*43.45/8.314*67 = 727.91 K = 454.76 C

Wiki says the following:



LINK

So the ideal gas law is off by 7.25 degrees C through this exercise. But that can be attributed to an inaccurate density published in wiki. If the density were 66.43 kg/m^3 instead of the documented 67 kg/m^3 the ideal gas law would have nailed the surface temperature published in wiki.

ETA: Here is a quote from a scientific paper on the density of Venus atmosphere:

quote:

Atmospheric density at the surface is about 65 kg m-3

So there is a little dependency between Wiki and this paper.

The sun’s heat/light output is extremely stable. It’s the magnetic field’s variability that impacts our atmosphere and causes small changes in our global temperature. On a grander scale it’s the Milankovitch Cycles that influence global temperature, but that takes thousands of years, so we don’t have to worry about it.

You set the temperature when you set the density. Of course it works out.

It's a gas. The density is going to be a function of the temperature and the pressure.

PV = nRT

mass = moles * molar mass (mol * mass/mol)

n = mass/M

PV = massRT/M

PM/RT = density

So when you set the density and the pressure, you defined the temperature.

So then when you plug it into the IGL to solve for temperature, you get the temperature defined by setting the pressure and density.

So you're saying the density is derived from the ideal gas law?
