Elementary stuff
3
The atmosphere• Primordial atmosphere• Volcanic activity, rock outgassing• H2O vapor, CO2, N2, S… no oxygen
• Origin of oxygen: dissociation of water vapor by absorption of UV (minor), and photosynthesis (major)
• Present composition of dry air• 78% N2
• 21% O2
• 1% Ar• “Minor” constituents of dry air include• CO2 0.039%, CH4 0.00018%, O3 < 0.00005%

Time series of CO2
5
Atmosphere: Dry and moist• Dry air constituents are well-mixed and vary only slowly over
time and space• Roughly constant over lowest 80 km (50 mi)• Very convenient for thermodynamic calculations
• Water vapor (“wv”) 0-4% of total atmospheric mass, but also concentrated near surface for these reasons• Surface source• Efficient return mechanism (precipitation)• Absolute humidity is a very strong function of temperature (T)
• Revealed by Clausius-Clapeyron equation
6
Standard atmosphere• Averaged over time
and horizontal space• Four layers:• Troposphere• Stratosphere• Mesosphere• Thermosphere
• “Lapse rate” = how T decreases with height
Temperature vs. height for standard atmosphere
7
Standard atmosphere• Troposphere• “turning sphere”• Averages 12 km (7.5
mi) deep• Top = tropopause• T range 15˚C @ sfc to -
60˚C at tropopause• Average tropospheric
lapse rate: 6.5˚C/km (19˚F/mi)
Temperature vs. height for standard atmosphere
8
Standard atmosphere• Stratosphere• “layered”… very stable• Extends upward to 50
km• Top = stratopause• T increases with height
(lapse rate negative)• UV interception by O2
and O3
• “lid” for troposphere… in a sense
Temperature vs. height for standard atmosphere
9
Standard atmosphere• Mesosphere• “middle sphere”• T decreases with
height again• Top = mesopause
• Thermosphere• Very hot… and yet no
“heat” (very little mass)• Freeze and fry
simultaneouslyTemperature vs. height for standard atmosphere

Standard atmosphere• Tropospheric T
variation15˚C at surface-60˚C at 12 km
elevation
• If “warm air rises and cold air sinks”, why doesn’t the troposphere turn over?
Temperature vs. height for standard atmosphere
11
Pressure• Pressure = force per unit area
p = N/m2 = Pascal (Pa)• Air pressure largely due to weight of overlying air• Largest at the surface, zero at atmosphere top• Decreases monotonically with height (z)• Pressure linearly proportional to mass
12
Pressure
13g ~ 9.81 m/s2 at sea-level
Sea-level pressure (SLP)
mb = millibarhPa = hectopascal1 mb = 100 Pa
14
For surface p = 1000 mb:50% of mass below 500 mb80% of mass below 200 mb99.9% of mass below 1 mb
Various p and z levels

Warm air rises and cold air sinks…
• NOT always true.• True statement is:
less dense air rises, more dense air sinks• Note near-surface air,
although warm, is also more dense

Basic thermodynamics concepts
21
System and environment• System = what we wish to study• View as control mass or control volume
• Control mass (CM)• Define some mass, hold fixed, follow it around
• Control volume (CV)• Define and monitor a physical space
• Environment = everything else that may interact with the system
22
System states• Systems may be open or closed to mass• Open systems permit mass exchange across system boundaries• Our CVs are usually open• Strictly speaking, a CM is closed
• Closed systems may be isolated or nonisolated• Isolated systems do not permit energy transfer with environment• Closed, isolated system = environment doesn’t matter
23
Lagrangian vs. Eulerian• CM is the Lagrangian viewpoint• Powerful, desirable but often impractical• Total derivatives• Freeway example
• CV is the Eulerian viewpoint• Observe flow through volume• Partial derivatives
24
Air parcel• Our most frequently used system• CM (usually!) – Lagrangian concept• Monitor how T, p, and V change as we follow it around
25
Conventions• We often use CAPITAL letters for extensive quantities, and
lower case for specific quantities• Specific = per unit mass
• Example:• U is internal energy, in Joules• u is specific internal energy, in J/kg• Unfortunately, “u” is also zonal wind velocity
• Aside:• Temperature T is essentially specific, but capitalized (and isn’t per
unit mass anyway)• Pressure p is fundamentally extensive, but lower case (and isn’t
per unit mass anyway)26
Energy and the 1st law• Total energy = KE + PE + IE• Conserved in absence of sources and sinks
• Our main use of 1st law: monitor changes in internal energy (IE or u) owing to sources and sinks
• How do we change system u? With energy transfer via• heat Q or q• work W or w
• Caveat: w is also vertical velocity, and q may also refer to water vapor specific humidity
27
Work• Work = force applied over a distance
• Force: N, distance: m• Work: Nm = J = energy
• Our principal interest: CM volume compression or expansion (dV) in presence of external pressure (p)
• W > 0 if dV > 0
28
Work
29
W > 0 when system expands againstenvironment
Heat• Diabatic heat• Diabatic: Greek for “passable, to be passed through”• Internal energy exchanged between system and environment• q > 0 when energy flow is INTO system
• Adiabatic = system is isolated• Adiabatic: Greek for “impassable, not to be passed through”
30
Caution on nomenclature• We should use diabatic when the energy exchange is between
system and environment• But, what if the heat source or sink is inside the system?• That’s adiabatic, but q ≠ 0• Our interior heat source will be water changing phase
• Dry adiabatic: q = 0• No heat source, outside OR inside• “dry” really means no water phase changes
• Moist adiabatic: q ≠ 0, but heat source/sink is inside system• “moist” implies water phase change• Synonyms include “saturated adiabatic” and “wet adiabatic”• Can also be referred to as “diabatic”! 31
1st law and Carnot cycle
32
1st law• In the absence of ∆KE and ∆PE
• Other ways of writing this
33
Most of my examples will be per unit mass.
State properties• Internal energy u is a state property• Changes in state properties are not path-dependent• Other state properties include m, T, p, r, V, etc.
34
State properties
35
Path-dependence• Work and heat are path-dependent
36
Path-dependence• A cyclic process starts
and ends with the same state property values
• … but the cyclic process can have net heat exchange and do net work
37
Path-dependence

Black path

Red path
Carnot cycle• 4-step piston cycle on a CM• 2 steps of volume expansion, 2 of volume compression• 2 steps are isothermal, 2 are (dry) adiabatic• Warm and cold thermal reservoirs external to system• Start and end with temperature T1 and volume V1
40
Carnot – Step 1
41
Isothermal volume expansion
Add heat QA from warmreservoir
T2 = T1
V2 > V1
Carnot – Step 2
42
Adiabatic volume expansion
No heat exchange
T3 < T2
V3 > V2
Carnot – Step 3
43
Isothermal volume compression
Lose heat QB to cold thermalreservoir
T4 = T3
V4 < V3
Carnot – Step 4
44
Adiabatic volume compression
No heat exchange
T1 > T4
V1 < V4
Returned to original state T1, V1.Cycle is complete.

Question for thought #1
55
The isothermal expansion (QA) occurred at a higher temperature than the Isothermal compression (QB).
What does this imply for the work?What does this imply for the pressure?
QB is waste heat. What does this imply for the efficiency of this heat engine?
Is there a limit to efficiency?Is the limit found in the 1st law?
Question for thought #2
56
Can you design a cyclic process that does no net work?
What would it look like on a T-V diagram?
Useful forms of the 1st law
57
• for ideal gases only (where h = enthalpy)
• these can be used to create these useful forms (a = 1/r = specific volume)
• we can also write this in terms of potential temperature
• for dry air, cp = 1004 J/(kg K), and cv = 717 J/(kg K)
