This paper presents a detailed thermodynamical exergy analysis of an optimized MSF distillation plant based on the latest published thermodynamics properties of water and seawater software of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by using design and optimized plant operation data. Exergy flow rates are evaluated throughout the plant and the exergy flow diagram is prepared in both cases....

The major effects of the chemical evolution of galaxies on the characteristics of their stellar populations are reviewed. A few examples of how the observed stellar properties derived from colour–magnitude diagrams can constrain chemical evolution models are given.

This paper presents PROV-O-Viz, a Web-based visualization tool for PROV-based provenance traces coming from various sources, that leverages Sankey Diagrams to reflect the flow of information through activities. We briefly discuss the advantages of this approach compared to other provenance visualization tools. PROV-O-Viz has already been used to visualize provenance traces generated by very dif...

An efficient method to calculate tadpole diagrams is proposed. Its capability is demonstrated by analytically evaluating two four-loop tadpole diagrams of current interest in the literature, including their O(ǫ) terms in D = 4 − 2ǫ space-time dimensions.

The phase diagram for methane + water is explained, in relation to hydrate applications, such as in flow assurance and in nature. For natural applications, the phase diagram determines the regions for hydrate formation for twoand three-phase conditions. Impacts are presented for sample preparation and recovery. We discuss an international study for “Round Robin” hydrate sample preparation proto...
