Dissolution of the monasteries

Summary

The dissolution of the monasteries, occasionally referred to as the suppression of the monasteries, was the set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541, by which Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents, and friaries in England, Wales, and Ireland; expropriated their income; disposed of their assets; and provided for their former personnel and functions. Though the policy was originally envisaged as increasing the regular income of the Crown, much former monastic property was sold off to fund Henry's military campaigns in the 1540s. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, thus separating England from papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1535) and the Second Suppression Act (1539). While Thomas Cromwell, vicar-general and vicegerent of England, is often considered the leader of the dissolutions, he merely oversaw

QM: measurement problem (non-dissolution)

Metallic aluminium plays a key role in our modern economy. Primary metallic aluminium is produced by the transformation of aluminium oxide using the Hall-Héroult industrial process. This process, which requires enormous quantities of energy, consists in performing the electrolysis of an aluminium oxide solute in large pots and with hundreds of thousands of amperes of electrical current. The topic of this thesis is the study of some selected aspects of the modelisation of the electrolysis process from the point of view of numerical simulation. This thesis is divided in two parts. The first part is focused on the numerical modelisation of the alumina powder dissolution and transport in the electrolytic bath as a function of the bath temperature. We provide a mathematical model for the transport and dissolution of the alumina powder, followed by its time and space discretisation by means of a finite element method. Finally, we study the behavior of this numerical model in the case of an industrial electrolysis pot. The second part is devoted to the development of a numerical scheme for the approximation of the fluid flows in an electrolysis pot. The scheme relies on a Fourier basis decomposition of the unknowns. The amplitude of each Fourier component satisfies a partial differential equation which is explicitely derived. The solution of this equation is approximated by means of a finite element method. Finally, the approximate fluid flow obtained with this new method is compared with the solution provided by the reference model in an industrial

Dissolution theory applied to the induction period in alite hydration

Robert Flatt, Emmanuel Gallucci, Patrick Juilland, Karen Scrivener

The early hydration of alite, in particular the reason for the onset of the induction period, has been a subject of controversy for many decades. Several theories have been proposed, principally the formation of a protective phase inhibiting dissolution or delayed nucleation and growth, but none have successfully taken into account all the experimental data available This paper proposes a new mechanism, based on a geochemical approach to crystal dissolution that fully explains the origin of the induction period It implies that during cement hydration, dissolution is initially dominated by the formation of etch pits on surfaces and later becomes limited to step retreat from such pas This change in mechanism alone can account for the rapid decrease in reaction after first contact with water, without the need to invoke the formation of a protective phase Furthermore it can explain all the experimental findings in the literature While this geochemical view of dissolution explains many features of the induction period it does not account for its end This remains a question for further research, but the most probable explanation appears to be the onset of rapid growth of C-S-H (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd
