Second law analysis and optimization of humidification-dehumidification desalination cycles
… and components. It is shown that minimizing the specific entropy generation of the cycle maximizes the gained output ratio (GOR). It is also shown that each cycle has one limiting component that cannot be substantially improved and a second component that should be the target of efforts to …

Impact modification of Mercury's mantle composition
… the process. For ejecta of sufficiently high specific entropy, our simplified chemical models indicate that energy released during condensation of MgO-rich phases buffers the temperature, delaying or preventing onset of FeO condensation. If sufficient spatial separation between condensates and …

Macroscopic behaviour of Lipschitz random surfaces
… random Lipschitz functions. We analyse the specific free energy functional for a class of random fields and for a class of random surfaces. In either case, we are interested in the nature of the minimisers of the specific free energy, and we give a new characterisation of these minimisers …
