foodchain Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Being entropy is universal does this mean all work also exists or can in a potential well? What I mean about this is an example if I can from climate studies. Can a storm for instance be viewed as a potential well, or a product of for instance. I imagine multiple potential wells could be existing anytime really in a dynamic environment for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 A potential well exists whenever you have a gradient of a force (i.e. F varies with position). Entropy is always there, though it may not be easy to calculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
