A thermal study of the formation of oceanic crust
... rates, a magma chamber would be expected to form within layer 3 provided that significant cooling by water percolation does not penetrate below layer 2. Sleep (1975) has obtained a similar result, but with a rather higher critical velocity. ...

... This is similar to the ideal gas law but it uses effective pressure and volume. Reduction in the molar volume is needed because molecules have finite size (i.e. they are not point-like as assumed in the ideal gas law). This part is related to the repulsive wall of the molecule - molecule interaction ...

... • Turbojet. In the turbojet, the kinetic energy of the fluid becomes important at two points in the cycle. In the compression, the freestream fluid, entering the compressor at the flight speed, has its pressure increased by the so-called “ram effect” where the fluid decelerates. Second, the point of ...

... We have seen that in a metal, the electrons and phonons contribute to the specific heat. At low temperatures, the electron contribution is proportional to T , and the phonon contribution to T 3. This means that the phonon contribution falls off more rapidly than the electron contribution when temper ...
