Ab Initio Entropy Calculations of Water Predict the Interiors of Uranus and Neptune to Be 15%–30% Colder than Previous Models
Ab initio free energy calculations are employed to derive the entropy of liquid and superionic water over a wide range of conditions in the interiors of Uranus and Neptune. The resulting adiabats are much shallower in pressure–temperature space than those adopted for earlier models of Uranus and Nep...
