Simplified Reaction Mechanisms for the Oxidation of Hydrocarbon Fuels in Flames

TL;DR: In this paper, simplified reaction mechanisms for the oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels have been examined using a numerical laminar flame model, and a simple procedure to determine the best values for the reaction rate parameters is demonstrated.

Hoek-brown failure criterion - 2002 edition

TL;DR: The Hoek-Brown failure criterion for rock masses is widely accepted and has been applied in a large number of projects around the world as discussed by the authors, however, there are some uncertainties and inaccuracies that have made the criterion inconvenient to apply and to incorporate into numerical models and limit equilibrium programs.

The Maxwell-Stefan approach to mass transfer

TL;DR: In this paper, the limitations of the Fick's law for describing diffusion are discussed and it is argued that the Maxwell-Stefan formulation provides the most general and convenient approach for describing mass transport which takes proper account of thermodynamic non-idealities and influence of external force fields.
