The aim of this study is to determine the mechanical characteristics of the filament wound composite tubes working under internal pressure loads, generating data for further investigation with a view of estimating the remaining life cycle of the tubes during service. Data is generated experimentally by measuring the mechanical behavior like strains in hoop direction, maximum hoop stresses that are formed during internal pressure loading. Results have been used to identify and generate the necessary data to be adopted in the design applications. In order to determine these parameters, internal pressure tests are done on the filament wound composite tube specimens according to ASTM D 1599-99 standard. The test tubes are manufactured by wet filament winding method, employing two different fiber types, two different fiber tension settings and five different winding angle configurations. The internal pressure test results of these specimens are studied in order to determine the mechanical characteristics, and the effects of the production variables on the behavior of the tubes. Pressure tests revealed that the carbon fiber reinforced composite tubes exhibited a better burst performance compared to the glass fiber reinforced tubes, and the maximum burst performance is achieved at a winding angle configuration of [±54°]3[90°]1. In addition, the tension setting is found not to have a significant effect on the burst performance. The burst pressure data and the final failure modes are compared with the results of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code laminate analysis, and it was observed that there is a good agreement between the laminate analysis results and the experimental data. The stress ا strain behavior in hoop direction are also studied and hoop elastic constants are determined for the tubes.

Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2004-12-01)
Analysis of combustion tube data produced from experiments performed under realistic reservoir conditions is currently the most valid method of investigating in-situ combustion process. In this study, the optimization of water-air ratio for B. Kozluca heavy crude oil, and the comparison of the performance of dry and wet forward combustion processes were studied. An analytical model was used to extend the laboratory results so that the oil production and steam zone volume can be estimated under field conditi...

In this thesis, numerical solutions of a 2D stator compressor cascade at a given inlet Mach number (0.7) and four values of incidence (49°, 51°, 53° and 55°) are obtained. Reynolds averaged, thin layer, compressible Navier Stokes equations are solved. Different grid types have been generated. Finite differencing approach and LU - ADI splitting technique are used. Three block parallel Euler and Navier Stokes solutions are compared with the experimental results. Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model is used in the t...
Offshore oil slick detection with remote sensing techniques
Akar, Sertaç; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geological Engineering (2007)
The aim of this thesis is to develop a methodology for detection of naturally occurring offshore oil slicks originating from hydrocarbon seeps using satellite remote sensing techniques. In this scope, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery has been utilized. Case study area was Andrusov High in the Central Black Sea. Hydrocarbon seepage from tectonic or stratigraphic origin at the sea floor causes oily gas plumes to rise up to the sea surface. They form thin oil films on the sea surface called oil slicks. P...

Al-Rbeawi, Salam; Owayed, Jalal F. (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
The objective of this paper is focusing deep insights on reservoir fluid flux from a structurally complicated matrix to non-uniformly propagated hydraulic fractures. A hypothetical unconventional reservoir is considered with stimulated and un-stimulated reservoir volume. A Semi-analytical multilinear flow regimes model is developed for pressure distribution by coupling matrix Darcy flow model and hydraulic fracture non-Darcy flow model. Hydraulic fractures are discretized to several segments with a specific...

This paper introduces an integrated analysis for pressure transient behavior of conventional and unconventional multi-porous media reservoirs considering varied flow rate conditions. It focuses on the applications of pressure-rate convolution and deconvolution techniques for analyzing pressure records of homogenous single porous media, double porous media, and triple porous media reservoirs. The tasks covered in this paper are: Deconvloving pressure response, characterizing and developing analytical models ...
