Aspects of thermal conductivity relative to heat flow

Summary The various techniques and methodologies of thermal conductivity measurement have been conventionally based on the determination of the rate of directional heat flow through a material having a unit temperature differential between its opposing faces. The constancy of this rate depends on the material density, its thermal resistance and the heat flow path itself. The last of these variables contributes most significantly to the true value of steady-state axial and radial heat dissipation depending on the magnitude of transient thermal diffusivity along these directions. The purpose of this paper is to exemplify the above features by defined parameters of heat flow measurement by existing methodologies. No new method is proposed here. Importantly, the relationship between the rate of heat transfer, total heat transferred and thermal conductivity at a given temperature under steady-state conditions for a fixed heat flow path will be illustrated.     

The Intrusion of the Meissen Pluton (Elbe Valley-Zone): Evidence from Geochemical and Isotopic Data

Abstract

Geochemical and mineralogical investigations of plutonic rocks from the Meiβen massif indicate different magmatic evolution trends of the Freital sequence as well as for the central part of the complex Constant ε-Nd_T-345 values of ?1.5 of the Freital sequence and major/trace element data point to a fractional crystallization process. Based on ε-Nd values, ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios as well as on geochemical data affinities to alkali basalts cannot be excluded.

Analogous conclusions have been drawn regarding mineral chemical data [10] and cathodoluminescence spectra of apatite [13]. Assimilation of old continental crust, reflected by relics of apatite and zircon, may be the reason that the ε-Nd values plot at the lower end of the “mantle array”. The pyroxene-monzodiorite from Gröba belongs to the same source environment as the Freital sequence (Nd-characteristics).

The geological evolution of the central part of the studied plutonic complex is completely different to the Freital sequence: most of the intrusions show signatures of open system fractionation processes. The ε-Nd_T-345 value of ?1.46 of the Leuben monzonite indicates a narrow relation to the Freital sequence, whereas the ε-Nd_T-345 value of +2.27 of the Spitzgrund monzonite either reflects the derivation of another basic material then the Freital-type or the participation of other mixing component(s) from geologically young crust.

Fabric and mineral chemical investigations of the porphyry-like granite GII point to a mixing process of basic xenocrysts, resembling the corresponding minerals of the Freital sequence, and granite melts [10]. Large amounts of old zircon cores [11] indicate the inheritance of continental crust components by the Hauptgranit. Isotopic investigations on various granitic samples (GII, Hauptgranit and Riesensteingranit) reflect an increasing trend towards the crustal source(s) of their parental melts. The ε-Nd_T-345 values are ?3.75, ?4.16 and ?6.13, respectively.

Chemical parameters and the ε-Nd_T value of the Riesensteingranit agree with data of granites from the Saxonian Granulite Massif (see e.g. Wand et al. [8]; von Quadt, 1992). Thus, it may be possible that both granite types derived from similar sources.     

花岗岩单轴压缩侧向变形及脆性破坏机制实验研究

为研究花岗岩侧向变形及脆性破坏机制,对花岗岩试件进行单轴压缩实验。利用动态应变采集系统、数字散斑相关方法(DSCM)和显微观测手段,记录并分析花岗岩试件在单轴压缩过程中的宏观侧向应变、局部侧向应变以及破裂面形貌,并与水泥砂浆试件的破坏过程对比,讨论了花岗岩脆性破坏机制。实验与分析结果表明:(1)花岗岩试件在加载初期发生侧向收缩变形,产生并发展于压密阶段,消失于线弹性阶段初期,这主要由于试件内部裂纹闭合造成的;此后,宏观侧向应变持续增长,当侧向应变与轴向应变之比接近0.5时试件破坏;(2)在峰值载荷前很长一段时间内,局部侧向应变在一定范围内波动,临近试件破坏时局部侧向应变最大值和最小值均出现较大幅度的波动,二者差值迅速增大,试件不均匀程度增大,最终导致试件破坏;(3)在峰值载荷前有无塑性屈服阶段是峰值载荷后脆性破坏程度的重要影响因素,而宏观裂纹的贯通程度是峰值载荷后应力降大小的决定因素。     

水冷却对高温花岗岩的细观损伤及动力学性能影响

为探讨高温花岗岩经水冷却后的细观结构损伤及动态力学性能,对水冷却后高温花岗岩开展波速和核磁共振测试,分离式霍普金森压杆冲击试验,以及冲击破碎试样的扫描电镜观察,分析比较不同状态下花岗岩波速、孔隙度和动力学参数的变化规律。研究发现:随着温度升高,经水冷却处理后高温花岗岩波速非线性下降,大孔径孔隙度分量增大,且水冷却后试样的孔隙孔径尺寸和数量均大于自然冷却;水冷却后高温花岗岩动力学参数呈现出随着温度升高,峰值应力减小,峰值应变增大,弹性模量则先增大后减小的规律;由于水冷却使高温花岗岩表面温度急剧降低,产生额外的温度应力,花岗岩内部损伤加剧,表现出更低的波速与峰值应力;而水的冷淬作用一定程度上提高了表层花岗岩的硬度,降低了高温后花岗岩的塑性能力,与自然冷却相比水冷却后花岗岩的峰值应变减小,弹性模量增大,表现出脆性破坏特征。在温度低于400℃时,冷却方式对冲击裂纹影响不大,随着温度升高到800℃,自然冷却后花岗岩冲击断面呈蜂窝状,而水冷却后冲击断面则相对平整。     

Unroofing history of the Sillai Patti granite gneiss, Pakistan: constraints from zircon fission-track dating

A group of alkaline igneous rocks is exposed in the north of the Peshawar Plain, extending from Tarbela in the east up to Loe–Shilman near the Pakistan–Afghanistan border in the west. The alkaline rocks consist mainly of granites, syenites, gabbros, ijolites and carbonatites. Granitic gneisses of Paleozoic age are exposed at the Malakand and further westward at Sillai Patti. However, the fission-track dating studies on zircon, based on the present work, indicate that the age of the Sillai Patti granite gneiss is less than the absolute age of granite gneisses. Therefore, the zircon fission-track age of 24.28±2.97 Ma of the Sillai Patti granite gneiss, represents a time of post-metamorphic denudation history of the area, when these rocks passed through the 210°C isotherm, corresponding to a depth of about 6.7 km inside the earth's crust from their present position if a paleogeothermal gradient of 30°C/km is assumed to have prevailed. Our average fission-track zircon age of 24.28±2.97 Ma is very similar to the average fission-track zircon age of 25.4±0.7 Ma of Mansehra granites. Average cooling rates of the Mansehra and Sillai Patti granite gneisses have been computed to be (8.00±0.22)°C/Ma and (8.00±0.98)°C/Ma, while the average denudation rates of the Mansehra and Sillai Patti granite gneisses have been computed to be (0.262±0.007) and (0.274±0.034) mm/yr, respectively, on the basis of zircon fission-track ages for the period between 25 Ma and the present time. This indicates that the two complexes have experienced similar average cooling/uplift-induced denudation histories during the last 25 Ma or so.

香港花岗岩风化分级化学指标体系与风化壳分带

火成岩的化学风化过程实质上就是碱、碱土金属组分水解淋失与脱硅富铁铝化的地球化学过程。不同风化程度的岩石处于整个化学风化过程的不同阶段,因而具有不同的化学成分和风化度指标。笔者在对香港九龙两个地方5个钻孔共计150件不同深度、不同风化程度的样品化学全分析结果与岩土风化程度宏观判别结果的相互对比、选择和确认的基础上,建立了香港地区花岗岩风化岩土风化程度工程分级的化学指标体系。这一研究成果的提出不仅有利于提高花岗岩风化岩土工程分类的科。学性、可靠性和实用性,而且可以为风化岩土工程特性与风化作用关系研究提供理论依据。     

香港全风化花岗岩饱和直剪试验中的剪胀问题

通过对全风化花岗岩的慢剪试验,指出了在直剪试验中出现的两种垂直位移变化形式,其对土体的剪胀剪缩性质的 反映与三轴试验是一致的。剪胀的发生与土体的密实程度密切相关;随垂直压力的增大,剪胀发生所需剪应力也增大;剪应 力达到峰值所需要剪位移总是比剪胀发生时所需的剪位移大。     

贵东岩体X荧光光谱、等离子体质谱分析结果及其对岩体演化的指示意义

粤北贵东岩体是由形成于早侏罗世(燕山一期)的粗粒黑云母花岗岩、晚侏罗世(燕山三期)的中细粒二云母或白云母花岗岩、早白垩世(燕山四期)石英正长岩组成的复式岩体。不同期次花岗岩进行X荧光光谱和等离子体质谱测试结果显示：(1)同期岩体自上而下具有硅碱组分降低,铁镁含量组分和LREE,LREE/HREE及(La/Yb),N值总体升高的变化趋势;(2)复式岩体从早期到晚期,岩体的硅碱组分逐渐升高,而∑REE,LREE/HREE,(La/Yb)_N及δEu值则逐渐降低,稀土配分曲线由右倾型向海鸥型过渡,表明复式岩体的形成是地壳岩石多次原地熔融(重熔)的结果;(3)微量元素组成同样反映复式岩体形成是地壳岩石多次原地熔融(重熔)的结果;多次熔融(重熔)导致晚期岩体U丰度和U/Th比值升高,故该区铀矿床的形成多与燕山晚期的熔融(重熔)事件有关。     

The determination of concentrations of radioisotopes in some granite samples in Turkey and their radiation hazards

The primordial radionuclides activity concentrations (²²⁶Ra, ⁴⁰K and ²³²Th) are measured in some granite samples in this study. The collected granite materials are analyzed with NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometry. The specific activity of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K values are in range 2.60?±?0.10 to 178.9?±?0.6?Bq?kg^?1, 1.46?±?0.10 to 162.50?±?0.75?Bq?kg^?1 and 19.8?±?0.3 to 579.7?±?2.8?Bq?kg^?1 respectively. The radium’s equivalent activity, annual effective dose, absorbed dose rate, hazard index, radioactivity level index, activity utilization’s index and exposure rate are calculated for determination of radiological risk. The concentration of ²²⁶Ra (in the 71.4% of samples), ²³²Th (in the 71.4% of samples) and ⁴⁰K (in the 14.3% of samples) in the granite samples are higher than average radioactivity concentrations of this radio-isotopes defined by ICRP (35.0, 30.0 and 400.0?Bq?kg^?1, respectively).
