The lower to middle Miocene Chenar granitoid stock, a part of Central Iranian volcanic belt, is intruded into Eocene volcano-sedimentary complex in northwestern Kerman in south Central Iran. The Chenar granitoid stock consists mainly of coarse to medium grain granodiorite and monzogranite with subordinate tonalite and syenogranite. Alkali granites as aplitic veins and quartz dioritic dykes freq...

The thermodynamic properties of water are of fundamental importance to perform geochemical, reservoir and production engineering calculations in the geothermal industry. Using the IAPWS-95 formulation an ActiveX component, SteamTablesIIE is developed to calculate thermodynamic properties of pure water as a function of two independent intensive variables: (1) temperature (T) or pressure (P) and ...

Introduction. Type B Ca-Al-rich inclusions have textures that have been interpreted as indicative of reheating to temperatures of about 1400°C, sufficient to produce a high degree of partial melting, and subsequent cooling at rates of the order of degrees per hour [1]. They are often found to be enriched in the heavy isotopes of the moderately volatile elements silicon and magnesium, which also...

Introduction The work presented in this paper concerns an experimental study of the melting of two-dimensional crystals in a Langmuir monolayer. In two dimensions, thermal fluctuations destroy the long-range positional order. Also, the resulting quasi long-range order in two-dimensional crystals is characterised by a very slow algebraic decay of the postional correlations [1]. The solids we stu...

Processing in a magnetic field leads to the texturing of materials along an easy-magnetization axis when a minimum anisotropy energy exists at the processing temperature; the magnetic field can be applied to a particle assembly embedded into a liquid, or to a solid at a high diffusion temperature close to the melting temperature or between the liquidus and the solidus temperatures in a region o...
