Trace element and isotopic effects of combined wallrock assimilation and fractional crystallization

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass assimilation rate is an arbitrary fraction(r) of the fractional crystallization rate, where r < 1 is a combination of zone refining and fractional scaling.

The Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry of chondrites and the evolution of the mantle-crust system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained a new set of present-day mean values in chondrites of176Hf/177Hf = 0.282772 ± 29 and176Lu/177 Hf= 0.0332 ± 2.

On the Dispersion of a Solute in a Fluid Flowing through a Tube

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the rate of growth of the variance is proportional to the sum of the molecular diffusion coefficient and the Taylor diffusion coefficient, where U is the mean velocity and a is a dimension characteristic of the cross-section of the tube.

Nd isotopic variations and petrogenetic models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the geochemical properties of a chondritic reservoir with high Fe, high Fe basalt, Ti basalt and alkali basalts and compared the results with the present value of the source regions of the earth.
