Application of ultrasonic burning rate measurement method on closed bombs Mumcu, Berkan; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Arkun, Uğur; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) In this thesis study, detailed information about solid rocket motors and ultrasonic burning rate measurement method is given. An experimental setup is prepared for applying the ultrasonic burning rate measurement method. Before performing the burning tests, some pre-tests are performed for affirming the ultrasonic sensor and obtaining some experimental coefficients. Two different types of propellants, which do not include aluminum, are produced for the burning tests. The first type of the propellants has tw...
Analysis of The Molar Volume as A Function of Pressure Close to The Melting Point in Ammonia Solid III Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2009-06-01) This study gives the calculation of the molar volume as a function of pressure for constant temperatures in ammonia solid III near the melting point. Using the value of the critical exponent gamma extracted from the experimental,data for the isothermal compressibility kappa(T). The molar volume calculated here decreases as the pressure increases on approach to the melting point. This critical behaviour can describe the observed behaviour of the molar volume near the melting point, as obtained experimentally...
Modulation of magnetism and study of impedance and alternating current conductivity of Zn0.4Ni0.6Fe2O4 spinel ferrite Amor, S. B.; Benali, A.; Bejar, M.; Dhahri, E.; Khirouni, K.; Valente, M. A.; Graca, M. P. F.; Al-Turjman, F.; Rodriguez, J.; Radwan, A. (2019-05-15) A spinel ferrite sample Zn0.4Ni0.6Fe2O4 was prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method at high temperature. This compound was found to exhibit a single phase and crystallize in a cubic structure with Pm3 m Space group. The complex impedance was investigated in the temperature range 400-700 K and in the frequency range 100 Hz - 1 MHz. The Z-impedance analysis revealed that the relaxation phenomenon is strongly dependent on temperature and frequency. The impedance plane plot showed semi-circle arc...
Ballistic design optimization of three-dimensional grains using genetic algorithms Yücel, Osman; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) Within the scope of this thesis study, an optimization tool for the ballistic design of three-dimensional grains in solid propellant rocket motors is developed. The modeling of grain geometry and burnback analysis is performed analytically by using basic geometries like cylinder, cone, sphere, ellipsoid, prism and torus. For the internal ballistic analysis, a quasi-steady zero-dimensional flow solver is used. Genetic algorithms have been studied and implemented to the design process as an optimization algor...
Ultrasonic measurement of solid propellant burning rates in closed bombs and subscale motors Atak, Özen; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) In the scope of this thesis, applications of ultrasonic measurement method on closed bombs and test motors were investigated with various aluminized and nonaluminized propellants with the main target of evaluation of burning rates. Detailed comparison between conventional methods for solid propellant burning rate measurements such as strand burner, firing of subscale test motors and ultrasonic measurement was performed. Burning rate evaluation of eight propellant batches were determined by thirty three clos...
