38 energy balance diagram
Energy Balance Equation. Based on the energy balance equation, assume that an increment of electrical energy dWe (excluding electrical loss) flows to the system in differential time, there will be a differential energy supplied to the field dWf (in stored form or loss), and a differential amount of energy dWm will be converted to mechanical form (in useful form or a loss). Earth's energy budget depends on many factors, such as atmospheric aerosols, greenhouse gases, the planet's surface albedo (reflectivity), clouds, vegetation, land use patterns, and more. When the incoming and outgoing energy fluxes are in balance, Earth is in radiative equilibrium and the climate system will be relatively stable. If energy intake and loss are in balance, the pool of organic energy is in steady state; such is the case in climax communities. Three aspects of this steady state may be recognized: (i) The steady state of population of climax communities in which equal birth and death ra...
