This research explores how chemical potential generates forces in various environmental phenomena, suggesting applications in energy and weather.
What type of forces and motions can be generated by the chemical potential? We address this question through a set of environmentally relevant phenomena in which the chemical potential plays a crucial role. These phenomena include atmospheric pressure, osmotic energy production, and the nucleation of cloud drops, which also illustrate the relationship between the chemical potential and Newtonian forces.
