Thermal and other physical properties of rocks and minerals are of considerable significance for deriving mineralogical and compositional models of the Earth's mantle. We have determined these properties for the mafic rock such as gabbro and ultramafic rock like harzburgite of the Oman ophiolite suite by utilizing the …
Velocity profiles of Newtonian immiscible liquids undergoing laminar flow between two horizontal plates under pressure gradient are investigated using a momentum balance equation. The differential equation describing the flow has been solved and equations for the velocity profiles of a two-layer and three-layer liquid …
We have initially investigated the temperature dependence of density and viscosity of a number of crude oils, collected from various hydrocarbon reservoirs in Oman. The measured data are then utilized to investigate the flow dynamics of these hydrocarbon fluids under gravity and applied pressures at various temperature …
The zero temperature direction of spontaneous magnetisation of lanthanide ions at a site of cubic symmetry is investigated as a function of the electrostatic and magnetic interactions. For all the values of J between J = 3 and J = 8, two-dimensional diagrams giving the orientation of spontaneous magnetisation are obtai …
A simple method for determining the depth and radius of some simple geological bodies such as a sphere and a horizontal cylinder is presented. The method utilizes all of the data points to calculate the body parameters. The depth is estimated from the mean of the depths determined from various fractions of the maximum …
