Data systematization using the constraints from the equation $$Cp = Cv + \alpha _P {}^2V_T K_T T$$ where C _p, C _v, α _p, K _T and V are respectively heat capacity at constant pressure, heat capacity at constant volume, isobaric thermal expansion, isothermal bulk modulus and molar volume, has been performed for tungsten and MgO. The data are $$K_T (W) = 1E - 5/(3.1575E - 12 + 1.6E - 16T + 3.1E - 20T^2 )$$ $$\alpha _P (W) = 9.386E - 6 + 5.51E - 9T$$ $$C_P (W) = 24.1 + 3.872E - 3T - 12.42E - 7T^2 + 63.96E - 11T^3 - 89000T^{ - 2} $$ $$K_T (MgO) = 1/(0.59506E - 6 + 0.82334E - 10T + 0.32639E - 13T^2 + 0.10179E - 17T^3 $$ $$\alpha _P (MgO) = 0.3754E - 4 + 0.7907E - 8T - 0.7836/T^2 + 0.9148/T^3 $$ $$C_P (MgO) = 43.65 + 0.54303E - 2T - 0.16692E7T^{ - 2} + 0.32903E4T^{ - 1} - 5.34791E - 8T^2 $$ For the calculation of pressure-volume-temperature relation, a high temperature form of the Birch-Murnaghan equation is proposed $$P = 3K_T (1 + 2f)^{5/2} (1 + 2\xi f)$$ Where $$K_T = 1/(b_0 + b_1 T + b_2 T^2 + b_3 T^3 )$$ $$f = (1/2)\{ [V(1,T)/V(P,T)]^{2/3} - 1\} $$ $$\xi = ({3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 4}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 4})[K'_0 + K'_1 \ln ({T \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {T {300}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {300}}) - 4]$$ where in turn $$V(1,T) = V_0 [\exp (\int\limits_{300}^T {\alpha dT)]} $$ . The temperature dependence of the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus (K′₁) is estimated by using the shock-wave data. For tungsten the data are K′₀ = 3.5434, K′₁ = 0.032; for MgO K′₀ = 4.17 and K′₁ = 0.1667. For calculating the Gibbs free energy of a solid at high pressure and at temperatures beyond that of melting at 1 atmosphere, it is necessary to define a high-temperature reference state for the fictive solid.  相似文献   

2-D deformation of two welded half-spaces due to a blind dip-slip fault     

Sunita Rani  Neeru Bala 《Journal of Earth System Science》2006,115(3):277-287

The solution of two-dimensional problem of an interface breaking long inclined dip-slip fault in two welded half-spaces is well known. The purpose of this note is to obtain the corresponding solution for a blind fault. The solution is valid for arbitrary values of the fault-depth and the dip angle. Graphs showing the variation of the displacement field with the distance from the fault, for different values of fault depth and dip angle are presented. Contour maps showing the stress field around a long dip-slip fault are also obtained  相似文献

Influence of varying nitrogen levels on lipid accumulation in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chlorella</Emphasis> sp.     

B. Kiran  K. Pathak  R. Kumar  D. Deshmukh  N. Rani 《International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology》2016,13(7):1823-1832

Microalgal lipids can be enhanced through varying nitrogen (N) content, and limited supply of nitrogen source seems to be valuable approach for increased lipid accumulation in microalgae. In this study, Chlorella sp. IM-02 was observed under fluorescence microscope for increased number of lipid bodies under nitrogen scarcity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to determine spectral changes due to varying lipid content under nitrogen-starved (N₀, without sodium nitrate), nitrogen-limited (N_0.1, N_0.25, N_0.5 and N_1.0 representing 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 g/L of sodium nitrate, respectively) and nitrogen-sufficient (N_1.5, i.e., 1.5 g/L sodium nitrate) setting. Chlorophyll content was also monitored under these conditions as growth indicator. Various biochemical components viz. total carbohydrates, total proteins and total lipids were also estimated under varying nitrogen levels spectrophotometrically. On fourth day itself, maximum lipid productivity was observed in case of N_0.5, which is having one-third of nitrogen concentration present in original growth media, BG-11. This concludes N_0.5 as suitable nitrogen provision for better production of lipids in Chlorella sp. IM-02 without much compromising the biomass production as both growth and lipid quantity are key parameters affecting the lipid productivity of any microalgal strain.  相似文献   

A distributed parallel multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method on general-purpose graphics processing units for the rapid and scalable computation of absolute permeability from high-resolution 3D micro-CT images     

F. O. Alpak  F. Gray  N. Saxena  J. Dietderich  R. Hofmann  S. Berg 《Computational Geosciences》2018,22(3):815-832

Digital rock physics (DRP) is a rapidly evolving technology targeting fast turnaround times for repeatable core analysis and multi-physics simulation of rock properties. We develop and validate a rapid and scalable distributed-parallel single-phase pore-scale flow simulator for permeability estimation on real 3D pore-scale micro-CT images using a novel variant of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The LBM code implementation is designed to take maximum advantage of distributed computing on multiple general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs). We describe and extensively test the distributed parallel implementation of an innovative LBM algorithm for simulating flow in pore-scale media based on the multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) model that utilizes a precise treatment of body force. While the individual components of the resulting simulator can be separately found in various references, our novel contributions are (1) the integration of all of the mathematical and high-performance computing components together with a highly optimized code implementation and (2) the delivery of quantitative results with the simulator in terms of robustness, accuracy, and computational efficiency for a variety of flow geometries including various types of real rock images. We report on extensive validations of the simulator in terms of accuracy and provide near-ideal distributed parallel scalability results on large pore-scale image volumes that were largely computationally inaccessible prior to our implementation. We validate the accuracy of the MRT-LBM simulator on model geometries with analytical solutions. Permeability estimation results are then provided on large 3D binary microstructures including a sphere pack and rocks from various sandstone and carbonate formations. We quantify the scalability behavior of the distributed parallel implementation of MRT-LBM as a function of model type/size and the number of utilized GPGPUs for a panoply of permeability estimation problems.  相似文献   

Spatio-temporal variations of respirable particles at residential areas located in the vicinity of opencast coal projects,India: a case study     

Satya Prakash Sahu  Manish Yadav  Dhruti Sundar Pradhan  Neha Rani  Arka Jyoti Das 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(10):241

The objective of the study is to investigate spatio-temporal variations of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and PM₁ concentrations at seven residential sites, located in the vicinity of opencast coal projects, Basundhara Garjanbahal Area (BGA), India. Meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, and temperature were collected simultaneously with PM concentrations. Mean concentrations of PM₁₀ in the range 215 ± 169–526 ± 412 μg m^?3, PM_2.5 in the range of 91 ± 79–297 ± 107 μg m^?3, PM₁ in the range of 68 ± 60–247 ± 84 μg m^?3 were obtained. Coarse fractions (PM_2.5–10) varied from 27 to 58% whereas fine fractions (PM_1–2.5 and PM₁) varied in the range of 51–73%. PM_2.5 concentration was 41–74% of PM₁₀ concentration, PM₁ concentration was 31–62% of PM₁₀ concentration, and PM₁ concentration was 73–83% of PM_2.5 concentration. Role of meteorology on PM concentrations was assessed using correlation analysis. Linear relationships were established among PM concentrations using least square regression analysis. With the aid of principal component analysis, two components were drawn out of eight variables, which represent more than 75% of variance. The results indicated that major sources of air pollutants (PM₁₀, PM_2.5, PM₁, CO, CO₂) at the residential sites are road dust raised by vehicular movement, spillage of coal generated during transportation, spontaneous combustion of coal, and biomass burning in village area.  相似文献   

Fictive component model of pyroxenes and multicomponent phase equilibria     

S. K. Saxena 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1982,78(3):345-351

Pyroxenes are considered as ideal solid solutions of some real components (e.g. diopside or orthoenstatite) and some fictive or hypothetical components (e.g. orthodiopside or orthohedenbergite). Using the reversed experimental data in the CaO-MgO-SiO₂ system, the Gibbs free energy of formation of fictive orthodiopside and of fictive clinoenstatite have been determined in the temperature range of 1,000 to 1,600 °K. The data on free energies of components in the binary system can be used to extend the fictive component model to the ternary CaSiO₃-MgSiO₃-FeSiO₃ system. Using published phase diagrams on the pyroxene quadrilateral, Gibbs free energy of formation of fictive orthohedenbergite has been calculated. Application of the ideally mixing fictive component model to computation of phase equilibria leads to the determination of compositions of coexisting Fe-Mg-Ca pyroxenes at different temperatures.Abbreviations and symbols G _f ⁰ Gibbs free energy of formation from the elements at 1 bar and temperature - G ^Ex excess free energy of mixing in a solution - G molar Gibbs free energy - R gas constant - H enthalpy - S entropy - T absolute temperature - P pressure - KJ/M kilojoules per mole - j joules - Opx orthopyroxene - Cpx clinopyroxene - H hedenbergite - D diopside - E enstatite - F ferrosilite - X mole fraction - K equilibrium constant  相似文献   

The solani-ganga interfluve; an application of remote sensing technique on soil resource mapping for agricultural planning     

P. B. Saxena  H. S. Iyer  G. Mahapatra  R. K. Saxena 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1983,11(1):55-62

The area of the Solani-Ganga interfluve, which lies between 29°16′N to 30°15′N latitude and 77°45′E to 78°15′E longitude was undertaken for the present study using LANDSAT imagery of band 5 and 7 and the false colour composite on the scale of 1:250,000 in combination with aerial photographs (1:25,000). Major geomorphic units, e.g., Siwalik Hills. Solani-upper alluvial plain, Solani lower alluvial plain, ‘Tarai’ and Ganga alluvial plain were delineated on LANDSAT and colour composite. Sample areas selected from LANDSAT were studied on aerial photographs in details and soil physiography relationship was developed. The soils on Siwalik hills are classified as Orthents. The soils of the pledmont plain and the recent terraces of Solani river and its tributaries were Psamments, Orthents, Fluvents, Orchrepts and Aquepts. The soils of upper alluvial tract of the Ganga plain is mostly Ustalfs with inclusion of Aqualfs, while the strong hydromorphic Tarai tract consists of partly Aquepts, Ochrepts (cultivated) and partly of Aquolls, Ustolls and Ustalfs (under forest). The present study aims to pin point the nature of soil relief relationship with the help of LANDSAT imagery and aerial photographs and diagnose the intensity of the depletion of soil resources (by prevailing factors like swift run off of biykderfed torrents, fast-flow of ground water, soil creep, mass wasting) through field studies and then treat them with ecological dose of soil conservation. For agronomic development of the region, it is worked out that the present crop-combination and crop-rotation systems should be slightly modified according to its ecosystem to prevent the depletion of soil nutrients.  相似文献   

Stress induced time dependent behavior of clayey soils     

Sudhir Kumar Tewatia  Pratima Rani Bose  Asuri Sridharan  Sunanda Rath 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2007,25(2):239-255

It is shown that time compression curve obtained from one-dimensional consolidation curve in the laboratory may include six phases. These are initial compression, first primary compression, transition from first primary compression to second primary compression, second primary compression, and transition from second primary compression to creep and lastly creep. This paper attempts to identify the quantitative beginnings and characteristics of these phases. A mathematical characteristic of all the soils that follow primary consolidation as per Terzaghi’s one dimensional consolidation theory is derived. It is known as the constant of primary consolidation. It is used to study the beginning of secondary consolidation and its effects on primary consolidation. Another characteristic of soils for creep and total absence of primary compression is derived. Methods are suggested for the determination of coefficients of Primary and Secondary consolidations and the compression index.  相似文献
