Nb and Ta intracrustal differentiation during granulite-facies metamorphism: evidence from geochemical data of natural rocks and thermodynamic modeling by Huang, G, Chen, Y, Guo, J, Palin, R, Zhao, L

“…As biotite preferentially incorporates Nb over Ta, the early stages of biotite dehydration melting produce a high-Nb/Ta residue and a low-Nb/Ta melt; however, geochemical modeling suggests that once biotite is depleted, the Nb/Ta ratio of the system is instead controlled by rutile growth, which promotes the formation of a lower Nb/Ta residue and a higher Nb/ Ta melt, even though the volume of melt produced at this stage may be small. …”

Thermal energy storage enhancement of latent heat thermal energy storage systems by Low, Zheng Hua

“…The occurrence of dead zones, the slowest region of LHTES system to melt or solidify, causes non-uniform melting and temperature profile. …”

Thermally induced phase separation PVDF membrane fabricated by using NaCl coagulation bath: relation of membrane surface morphology and permeation performance by Chen, Ningyuan, Zhao, Jie, Shi, Lei, Goto, Atsushi, Wang, Rong

“…The inclusion of NaCl in the coagulation bath serves to decrease the solubility of PEG within this medium, owing to the salting-out effect. Consequently, the NaCl concentration in the coagulation bath emerges as a crucial factor in regulating the migration of PEG400 toward the membrane surface. …”
