An ångström-sized window on the origin of water in the inner solar system: Atomistic simulation of adsorption of water on olivine
The origin of water in the inner solar system is not yet well understood. Because of the coexistence of water and small solid particulates in the accretion disk from which our planetary system formed, we propose that adsorption of water onto the surfaces/pores of forsterite could play and important role in the delivery of water to the rocky planets. In this work we employ energy minimization te...
متن کاملSome – Perhaps Most - Water in the Earth must result from Adsorption on to Grains in the Accretion Disk
Muralidharan et al. [1] have shown that up to 8 Earth oceans of water could be associatively adsorbed on to grains in the accretion disk at 1 AU. Here we expand on that work using atomistic and electronic-level calculations to investigate dissociative adsorption, and use density functional theory to investigate the difference in D/H ratios between water on Earth and in the accretion disk. We fi...
متن کاملEconomic optimization of solar systems in uncertain economic conditions using the Monte Carlo method
Solar energy is an environmentally sustainable energy source as it is clean and inexhaustible. Solar systems are very common and cost-effective, thus, can be used for many home applications. In this paper, a new method is presented to optimize solar systems economically, regarding to energy cost fluctuations. In spite of conventional analyses, in which the inflation is considered constant, ...
متن کاملStudy of the performance of a solar adsorption cooling system
This article presents a transient model of a solar adsorption cooling system. A computer program has been developed to simulate the operation of a two bed silica gel- water adsorption cooling system as well as flat plate collectors and the hot water storage tank. This program is then utilized to simulate the performance of a sample solar adsorption cooling system used for cooling a set of r...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Evaluation of Gamma Knife Dose Profile in Real Brain Phantom
Introduction The Gamma Knife system is designed solely for non-invasive treatment of brain disorders, and it benefits from stereotactic surgical techniques. Dose calculations required in the system are performed by GammaPlan code; in this code, brain tissue is considered uniform. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of Gamma Knife system on the obtained dose through simulating a real ...
