Abstract

This paper presents a simple method based on Finite-Time Thermodynamics (FTT) to determine the thermal conductivity of atmospheric air. The method considers an atmospheric heat engine in which the air moves convectively on the border day-night driven by the Sun's energy. The numerical value obtained for the thermal conductivity reasonably accords with the reported value by Van Ness by the number of Rayleigh.
