Thermodynamic and kinetic constraints on reaction rates among minerals and aqueous solutions. II. Rate constants, effective surface area, and the hydrolysis of feldspar
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the cross-sectional area of etch pits on hydrolyzed feldspar grains is of the order of 10−9 to 10−8 cm2 and that the ratio of the effective to total surface area (which may or may not change with reaction progress) ranges from <0.01 to 1, depending on the grain size, dislocation density, and the extent of comminution damage on the surfaces of the grains.

Physics of Neutron Star Crusts
Nicolas Chamel,Pawel Haensel +1 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the progress, which has been achieved over the last few years, in modeling neutron star crusts, both at the microscopic and macroscopic levels.
Book
Phase equilibria, phase diagrams, and phase transformations
TL;DR: The basic concepts of thermodynamics have been discussed in detail in this paper, where a number of applications of molar Gibbs energy diagrams have been proposed. But none of them have been applied to the modeling of solution phases.
Book
The concept of entropy in landscape evolution
TL;DR: The principle of least work and entropy in open systems and the effect of constraint on stream length are illustrated.
Book ChapterDOI
Second-Law Analysis in Heat Transfer and Thermal Design
TL;DR: The presentation proceeds from the derivation of the Gouy-Stodola theorem, the basis for entropy generation minimization in the conceptual design of heat transfer equipment, to suggest the minimum irreversibility design of one-dimensional insulations such as the main counterflow heat exchanger of a helium liquefaction plant.
