Introducing Action Mechanics

How does it ackle? How does it work?


To better understand of how physical or chemical processes work, we have developed a new method that we call Action Mechanics to explain the modes of action for all kinds of particulate matter.

 

Rather than using Newtonian forces, though these are related, we prefer to be more modern and use the action or quantum state of material systems, guided by the well-established principle of least action, described in a recent article in the magazine Scientia (https://doi.org/10.33548/SCIENTIA946).

 

Least action is regarded to express nature’s preference for the pathway of least resistance. All other paths will require more effort and waste energy.


For example, our new method to calculate the entropy of all atmospheric gases works with the action state of molecules based on their physical properties, calculated in defined environmental conditions.
We have already applied action mechanics to a wide range of functions.

 

With the help of others, we expect many more applications in the future. 

 

Already published are the following examples:
(i) Estimating the entropy and Gibbs energy of atmospheric gases as functions of quantum states (https://doi.org/10.3390/e21050454), based on reviews of classical statistical mechanics. This data can be used to explain climate science from atmospheric properties.


(ii) Understanding the Carnot heat engine cycle and how doing work at high temperature requires heat for a Gibbs field of quanta supporting the pressure of the working fluid allowing expansion, followed by rejection of less heat at lower temperature during restoration of original kinetic conditions by compression.


(iii) Showing vortical cyclic motions of anticyclones and cyclones also store quanta in Gibbs fields. This enables heating of the boundary layer by turbulent surface friction in the greenhouse cycle, rather than radiation from a cooler atmosphere.


(iv) Understanding how the least action principle of classical mechanics can be applied to the thermodynamics of the troposphere and the power of tropical cyclones.


(v) A new way to estimate power in horizontal wind turbines using action impulses
to generate torques supporting rotation ( https://doi.org/10.47852/bonviewAAES32021330 ).


(vi) Showing how variation of temperature and pH may affect the seasonal and long
term oscillations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

​

We show that the principle of least action can explain all three laws of thermodynamics, the
conservation of total energy, its spontaneous dispersion while doing work, and increasing
entropy and the inevitable increase in action and entropy from zero at absolute zero Kelvin.
