Development of Open Transport of Aqueous Fluid from Pegmatite Revealed by Trace Elements in Garnet by Astin Nurdiana, Atsushi Okamoto, Masaoki Uno, Noriyoshi Tsuchiya

“…The primary fluid inclusions in quartz crystals within the pegmatites hosted by the quartz diorite and hosted by the metamorphic rocks have a wide range of homogenization temperatures (200–380°C). These correspond to the trapping temperature of 500–700°C, assuming a salinity of 4 wt.% NaClequivalent at pressure of the crystallization of the quartz diorite. …”

Method for Calculating Transients in a Gas Pipeline by A. S. Fikov

“…In order to simplify the calculations, the original differential equation is transformed in such a way that the boundary conditions acquire the property of homogeneity. It has been determined that the requirements that the boundary conditions are equal to zero at the initial moment of time introduced into the solution make it possible to obtain a concise record of the obtained analytical model, but do not limit the area of the use of the model with a surge change in the gas flow rate or pressure. …”

The surface tension and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation of sea spray aerosol particles by J. Kleinheins, N. Shardt, U. Lohmann, C. Marcolli

“…This effect is not considered in classical Köhler theory, which assumes droplets to be homogeneous with a surface tension of pure water. In this study the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of SSA particles calculated with classical Köhler theory is compared to a more complex calculation that considers bulk–surface partitioning, surface tension lowering, and liquid–liquid phase separation. …”

Improving of Surface Quality of Metal Reflector Mirrors Machined by Single Point Diamond Turning by G. A. Gusakov, G. V. Sharonov

“…Heat treatment of the AMg2 alloy substrates at T ≥ 380 °C makes it possible to improve the quality of surface and the radiation resistance of aluminum mirrors both by removing mechanical stresses and by partially homogenizing the starting material. The optimum is heat treatment at the maximum allowable temperature for the AMg2 alloy T = 540 ºС, as a result of which there is a complete disappearance of intermetallic inclusions with an increased magnesium content. …”
