In this study, the aim is to investigate the stiffness, longitudinal tensile strength and circumferential tensile strength of short fiber reinforced polyester composite pipes produced by centrifugal casting production method. To achieve this aim, theoretical calculation of modulus of elasticity of pipes was done and then test program was carried out on pipe samples produced with three different resin types which were orthophthalic, isophthalic and vinyl ester resin and three different fiber types which were E glass fiber, ECR glass fiber and basalt fiber. The tests were performed according to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards. When resin type and fiber type effect on the fiber reinforced polyester pipe samples were evaluated, calculated elastic modulus values were in accordance with the test results. According to the experimental test data, which were used to evaluate the effect of resin type on fiber reinforced polyester pipe properties, there is not a significant difference was observed in the stiffness, longitudinal and circumferential tensile strength test results of pipes having different resin types. In other words, there was not a significant effect of resin type on the stiffness, longitudinal tensile strength and circumferential tensile strength of short fiber reinforced pipes produced by centrifugal casting method. According to the experimental test data, which were used to evaluate the effect of fiber type on the properties of fiber reinforced polyester pipe, basalt fiber reinforced pipe samples showed higher mechanical performance over E glass fiber and ECR glass fiber reinforced pipes. However, the test results of basalt reinforced polyester pipe were not as good as the individual properties of basalt fiber. Finally, by comparing the basalt fiber reinforced pipe samples having almost the same stiffness and tensile test results as E glass fiber reinforced pipe samples, the gain in fiber and resin amount were investigated. Basalt fiber reinforced pipes were slightly lighter and thinner than E glass fiber reinforced pipes. However, the decrease in the amount of the fiber and resin in basalt reinforced pipe did not result in an overall cost reduction.

Effect of clay content on combustion reaction parameters
Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2005-04-15)
The role of clay in reservoirs and its possible influence oil kinetics of crude oil burning is not entirely clear However, it is known that (1) clay fractions of the reservoir matrix possess the highest surface area per gram, (2) clay fractions are the most chemically reactive of the inorganic constituents present in the reservoir and (3) clay minerals generally possess catalytic properties toward various organic liquids. This study was aimed to investigate the role of clay on thermo-oxidative behavior of c...
Determination of wettability and its effect on waterflood performance in limestone medium
Karabakal, U (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-03-01)
Wettability measurement methods, the effect of wettability on fluid distribution, and fluid flow in porous media were discussed, and the influence of rock wettability on the relative permeability and recovery of oil by waterflooding were investigated. Experimental studies were conducted on a total of 23 core plugs from two different limestone formations. Synthetic brine (NaCl solution) and mineral oil, which has a viscosity ratio of similar to10, were used as the test fluids. Core samples, saturated with sy...
Effect of pressure on combustion kinetics of heavy oils
Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2005-07-01)
In this study, 16 experiments were conducted to study the effects of pressure on crude oil oxidation in limestone medium. Karakus (29 degrees API), Beykan (32 degrees API), Bati Raman (12 degrees API), Camurlu ( 12 degrees API), Adiyaman (26 degrees API), Garzan (28 degrees API) and Raman (18 degrees API) crude oil from Turkish oil fields were used. The mixture of limestone and the crude oil was subjected to a controlled heating schedule under a constant flow rate of air. The produced gas was analyzed for i...
Effect of heating rate on thermal properties and kinetics of raw and cleaned coal samples
Özbas, Kazim Esber; Hicyilmaz, Cahit; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01)
In this article, thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) was used to determine the effect of heating rate on the thermal properties and kinetics of raw and cleaned coal samples from Soma, Tuncbilek, and Afsin Elbistan regions. TG/DTG experiments were carried out at 4 different heating rates (5, 10, 15, and 20degreesC/min). Generally, for all of the samples higher peak and burnout temperatures were measured with an increasing heating rate. Kinetic parameters of the samples were determined using an Arrhenius-type kinetic m...
Determination of Rheological Models for Drilling Fluids (A Statistical Approach)
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2004-01-16)
A rheological model conventionally characterizes non-Newtonian drilling fluids. Parameters of the rheological models are estimated by explicitly solving the required number of equations simultaneously. Rheological models are stochastic and this study considers only the deterministic part of the model. Observed data is accepted as arising from randomness due to the system. A nonlinear least squares method is applied to readings of 6 standard Fann viscometer speeds in order to estimate the models' parameters....
