Constraining the timescales of pre-eruptive magmatic processes in active volcanic systems is paramount to understand magma chamber dynamics and the triggers for volcanic eruptions. Temporal information of magmatic processes is locked within the chemical zoning profiles of crystals but can be accessed by means of elemental diffusion chronometry. Mineral compositional zoning testifies to the occu...

The thermodynamic characteristics of hot $\beta$-equilibrium electrically neutral three-flavor quark matter at neutrino confinement are investigated. For the description such a quark-lepton system, local SU (3) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is used, in which also takes into account 't Hooft interaction, leading to flavor mixing effect. energy density $\varepsilon$ and pressure $P$ numerically...

Precipitation behavior and the quenching sensitivity of a spray deposited Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloy during isothermal heat treatment have been studied systematically. Results demonstrate that both the hardness and the ultimate tensile strength of the studied alloy decreased with the isothermal treatment time at certain temperatures. More notably, the hardness decreases rapidly after the isothermal h...

The mixing of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in a magnetic micro-mixer was studied numerically using  ferrofluid. The mixing process was performed in a three-dimensional steady-state micro-mixer. A magnetic source was mounted at the entrance of the micro-channel to oscillate the magnetic particles. The effects of electric current, inlet velocity, size of magnetic particles, and non-Newtonia...

In recent years, impinging streams have received increasing interest for their high efficiency in heat and mass transfer. This numerical study was conducted to investigate flow and heat transfer characteristics of one-way opposing jets of non-Newtonian fluids. Effects of Reynolds number impinging angle, momentum ratio and flow behavior index on mixing index were evaluated. The results showed im...

New isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the carbon dioxide + 1,4-dioxane system are reported at four temperatures (323.15, 333.15, 343.15, and 353.15) K pressures up to 122.7 bar. The critical curve was also measured 158.8 bar 420.15 K. Phase behavior measurements were performed in a high-pressure windowed cell with variable volume, using static-analytical method phases sampling ...

The capabilities of an aeroacoustic wave equation based on Pierce’s operator (AWE-PO) for modeling subsonic flow-induced sound and prediction are investigated. is applied to isothermal two-dimensional mixing layer computed by direct numerical simulation. In contrast a simulation, providing the acoustic fluctuations directly, simulations Lighthill’s AWE-PO rely hybrid workflow predict generated ...

We develop a trust region filter strategy for simultaneous optimal design of heat exchanger networks that includes detailed shell-and-tube exchangers. The first solves mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation with shortcut models to generate candidate network topologies, which are then used in non-isothermal mixing (NLP) suboptimization embedded using modified (TRF) algorithm. An...

Isothermal model used in current computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model neglect the internal heat transfer during biomass devolatilization. This assumption is not reasonable for thermally-thick particles. To solve this issue, a heat transfer corrected isothermal model is introduced. In this model, two heat transfer corrected coefficients: HT-correction of heat transfer and HR-correction of rea...

Adiabatic and isothermal propagations of spherical blast wave produced due to a nuclear explosion have been studied using the Energy hypothesis of Thomas, in the nonuniform atmosphere of the earth. The explosion is considered at different heights. Entropy production is also calculated along with the strength and velocity of the shock. In both the cases; for adiabatic and isothermal flows, it ha...
