Sentences with phrase «by simple diffusion»

CRF is computed by a simple diffusion model with several free parameters.

Circulation and gas exchange are presumably accomplished by simple diffusion.

Not exact matches

Since this effect would not depend on slow rates of thermal diffusion though frozen sediments, but instead by a simple loss of ice, which could occur more quickly, such hydrates might be more vulnerable to destabilization than hydrates buried under permafrost.

They then estimated the heat flux into the thermocline using a standard (accepted) model, with a thermocline eddy diffusion coefficient of 1.2E - 5 m ^ 2 / s from Ledwell: We estimate s by using this slope along with k = 1.2x10 - 5 m2 / s (the eddy diffusion coefficient in the thermocline [Ledwell et al., 1998]-RRB- So if they are wrong, either their basic model is wrong (which seems unlikely - it is just a simple energy balance model after all), or their choice of eddy diffusion coefficient is wrong.
