Spray is an efficient tool in the usage whose primary objectives are to obtain droplets with increased liquid surface area and more dispersed liquid over a larger volume. The determination of spray characteristics has been a topic of extensive research recently. In the present investigation, the flow structure of a spray issuing from an oil burner nozzle was determined in a parametrical manner. The main tool in the experimental research is the Interferometric Particle Imaging (IPI) configuration. This method exploits the interference between light reflected from and refracted through individual transparent spray droplets which are illuminated by a laser light sheet in a wide angle forward-scatter region. Based on a scattering theory, the droplet diameter of spray particles can be related to the light pattern scattered from that particle. In addition, using double-framed images also enables the calculation of velocities associated with these particles. In this way, as a representation of spray structure, the droplet size and velocity distributions were obtained prior to a change in the primary parameters of liquid flow e.g. surface tension, viscosity, density and the injection pressure. The evolution of spray characteristics in space were also examined by conducting measurements in different radial and axial locations relative to spray centerline.

Thermogravimetry of selected bentonites
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2002-10-01)
In this research the application of thermal analysis techniques (TG-DTA) to the characterization of bentonite samples is presented. The thermal behavior of 4 bentonite samples was investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. It was observed that all bentonite samples exhibit 2 weight loss events on heating. The first weight loss event corresponds to the loss of molecular water from the exchange layer, whereas the second weight loss event corre...
Sensitivity Analysis of Major Drilling Parameters on Cuttings Transport during Drilling Highly-inclined Wells
Ozbayoglu, E. M.; Miska, S. Z.; Takach, N.; Reed, T. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, a layered cuttings transport model is developed for high-angle and horizontal wells, which can be used for incompressible non-Newtonian fluids as well as compressible non-Newtonian fluids (i.e., foams). The effects of major drilling parameters, such as flow rate, rate of penetration, fluid density, viscosity, gas ratio, cuttings size, cuttings density, wellbore inclination and eccentricity of the drillsting on cuttings transport efficiency are analyzed. The major findings from this study are,...
Effect of Thickness-to-Chord Ratio on Flow Structure of a Low Swept Delta Wing
Gulsacan, Burak; Sencan, Gizem; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2018-12-01)
The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on flow structure of a delta wing with sweep angle of 35 deg is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser-illuminated smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measurements. Four different t/C ratios varying from 4.75 to 19% are tested at angles of attack, 4, 6, 8, and 10 deg, for Reynolds numbers Re =1 x 10(4) and 3.5 x 10(4). The results indicate that the effect of thicknessto-chord ratio on flow structure is quite substan...
Finite element modelling of TBC failure mechanisms by using XFEM
Bostancı, Safa Mesut; Gürses, Ercan; Çöker, Demirkan (2018-01-01)
Thermal Barrier Coatings have been widely used in modern turbine engines to protect the nickel based metal substrate from the high temperature service conditions, 1600-1800 K. In this study, some of the failure mechanisms of typical Air Plasma Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) used in after-burner structures composed of three major layers: Inconel 718 substrate, NiCrAlY based metallic bond coat (BC) and Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) based ceramic top coat (TC) are investigated. Investigation of the ...
Estimating Flow Patterns and Frictional Pressure Losses of Two-Phase Fluids in Horizontal Wellbores Using Artificial Neural Networks
Ozbayoglu, E. M.; Ozbayoglu, M. A. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
Underbalanced drilling achieved by gasified fluids is a very commonly used technique in many petroleum-engineering applications. This study estimates the flow patterns and frictional pressure losses of two-phase fluids flowing through horizontal annular geometries using artificial neural networks rather than using conventional mechanistic models. Experimental data is collected from experiments conducted at METU-PETE Flow Loop as well as data from literature in order to train the artificial neural networks. ...
