in the asemi-gawa area of intermediate high-pressure and low-temperature sanbagawa metamorphic belt in central shikoku, japan, piemontite-quartz schists are common in which cation exchange between piemontite and garnet has been studied. piemontite in contact with garnet usually contains two zones in which core is enriched in mn3+ and surrounded by a rim rich in fe3+. garnet is ca-fe-bearing spe...

Introduction: The abundance of Cu in the Earth’s mantle normalized to C1 and Mg is similar to the abundances of Ni and Co [1, 2]. This is surprising as Cu is much less siderophile [2] than Ni and Co. Although a lower bulk Earth abundance of Cu is expected because of its lower condensation temperature, this is not sufficient to compensate for the much lower one bar siderophility of Cu when compa...

Numerical simulation of the vaporization of multi-component liquid fuels under high-pressure conditions is conducted in this study. A high-pressure drop vaporization model is developed by considering the high-pressure phase equilibrium which equates the fugacity of each component in both liquid and vapor phases. Peng-Robinson equation of state is used for the calculation of fugacity. To model t...

The thermal stability of siderite (FeCO(3)) was studied by two independent methods in which the oxygen fugacity of the gas phase was controlled by equilibration with graphite. Both series of experiments indicate that siderite decomposes stably to magnetite + graphite between 455 degrees and 465 degrees C at 500 to 2000 bars PCO2 + P(CO).
