The Adiabatic Lapse Rate in the Venus Atmosphere

摘要: Abstract The adiabatic lapse rate is derived for a real gas, and the result applied to Venus atmosphere, which assumed consist of pure CO2. ratio ideal gas found exceed unity at pressures temperatures currently believed occur in lower atmosphere. For pressure 100 atm 750, 650 550 K, ratios are 1.03, 1.06 1.13, respectively. At 70 1.02, 1.05 1.10, expression g/cp, where g gravity cp, specific heat constant inferior an as approximation rate. Estimates surface temperature based on downward extrapolation or even quantity do not lead results seriously different from extrapolations However, will be necessary accurate a...
