The most important criterion in industrial production processes is to control the required product quality and comply with the standards pre-described for the application during any stage of the process. This control begins from the entry of raw material to the plant and continues with pre-determined points. Mainly two different types of inspection and analyses are used to examine the material quality and content. These are physical and chemical analysis.In most of the production plants above mentioned analyses are made in related laboratories of the plant. Therefore, it is necessary to have 3sample4 to be analyzed. This 3sample4 should have a real 3representative4 property, which must carry all of the physical and chemical characteristics of the material at the point where this 3sample4 is taken.The present methods and systems used to take samples from any required point have some disadvantages and present some problems especially for not being 3representative4. These problems are discussed in detail within this thesis study and aimed to reach a new concept and system with: - Low cost of investment - Low cost of operation - Less requirement of maintenance and calibration - The achievement of 3correct4 and 3representative4 sample As a result of the theoretical studies together with practical application works and experiments, a new concept in sampling, namely 3Sampling System with Air Cannons4 was introduced. The new system of sampling was tested to give better performance and practical use.

A methodology for detection and evaluation of lineaments from satellite imagery
Koçal, Arman; Karpuz, Celal; Department of Mining Engineering (2004)
The discontinuities play an important role both in design and development stages of many geotechnical engineering projects. Because of that considerable time and capital should be spent to determine discontinuity sets by conventional methods. This thesis present the results of the studies associated with the application of the Remote Sensing (RS) and the development of a methodology in accurately and automatically detecting the discontinuity sets. For detection of the discontinuities, automatic lineament an...
A study on the application of e-commerce in Turkish mining industry
Mutlu, Yakıcı İçli; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, a road map/strategy that must be followed by firms that want to utilize e-commerce facilities is established. For this purpose, road map suggestions that were taken from literature were examined and a road map which can be followed by mining companies is developed. First, a questionnaire was applied to mining firms to understand the attitude of mining sector to e-commerce. Then a firm that had involved in the questionnaire and was interested in e-commerce was selected to work with. The studi...
Investigation of the rheological properties of çayirhan coal-water mixtures
Öztoprak, Ayşe Feray; Hiçyılmaz, Cahit; Department of Mining Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, coal-water mixtures (CWM) with Çayırhan lignite were prepared to optimize the parameters of CWM having an ideal behavior which means that at maximum coal loading, relatively stable at static and dynamic conditions and exhibit low viscosity. For this purpose, the effect of the parameters such as pulp density, amount of chemical agents, particle size distribution, addition of methanol and pulp pH were investigated. Results showed that increasing pulp density negatively affects viscosity and al...
Modeling the effects of variable coal properties on methane production during enhanced coalbed methane recovery
Balan, Hüseyin Onur; Gümrah, Fevzi; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2008)
Most of the coal properties depend on carbon content and vitrinite reflectance, which are rank dependent parameters. In this study, a new approach was followed by constructing a simulation input database with rank-dependent coal properties published in the literature which are namely cleat spacing, coal porosity, density, and parameters related to strength of coal, shrinkage, swelling, and sorption. Simulations related to enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery, which is the displacement of adsorbed CH4 in...
Rate of penetration estimation model for directional and horizontal wells
Ettehadi Osgouei, Reza; Özbayoğlu, Mehmet Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007)
Directional and horizontal drilling operations are increasingly conducted in all over the world, especially parallel to the growth of the technological developments in the industry. Common application fields for directional and horizontal drilling are in offshore and onshore when there is no way of drilling vertical wells. During directional and horizontal well drilling, many additional challenges occur when compared with vertical well drilling, such as limited weight on bit, harder hole cleaning, trajector...
