In this thesis we investigate the pressure and temperature dependence of the Raman frequencies for diffirent modes of benzene at ambient conditions (P=0 GPa and T=300 K). By using the experimental data we calculated the volume and frequency as a function of pressure at constant temperature and as a function of temperature at constant pressure, thus isothermal and isobaric mode Grüneisen parameter has been inferred in the diffrent modes. Our calculations show that calculated Raman frequencies agree well with the observed data for each mode in solid benzene. In a more generalized way, Raman frequencies were calculated as a function of pressure and temperature for different modes of solid naphthalene and anthracene. Our calculations are in a good agreement with the observed data. Thermodynamic quantities such as heat capacity Cp, entropy S was analyzed using the experimental data at various temperatures and pressures through the Raman frequencies and crystal volume for the different modes in solid benzene, naphthalene and anthracene. Our results agree better with the observed data at higher pressures and temperatures. Also, quasi-harmonic approximation is used to calculate thermodynamic quantities for solid benzene, naphthalene and anthracene. Quasi-harmonic vibrational energy is defined as a function of temperature to originate of deriving other thermodynamic quantities of solid benzene, naphthalene and anthracene. When the experimental data is avalaible our calculations through the quasi-harmonic vibrational energy can be compared with the observed data for solid benzene, naphthalene and anthracene.

Critical behaviour of the Raman frequency shifts in the vicinity of the lambda-phase transition in NH4Br Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2006-01-01) This study gives the temperature dependence of the Raman frequencies for the lattice mode of upsilon(7) (TA) and the internal mode of upsilon(2) close to the X-phase transition (T-lambda=234K, P=\) in NB4Br.
Thermal contact conductance of nominaly flat surfaces Yüncü, Hafit (2006-11-01) The variation of thermal conductance of contact has been investigated as a function of apparent contact pressure experimentally. Experimental data has been obtained for steel, brass, copper and aluminum test pieces having different surface roughness over a wide range of contact pressures. Experimental results are compared with the theoretical predictions of an existing theory. Comparison revealed good agreement of trend with the experimental data, however, numerical values vary widely. Theory can predict th...
Kinetic analysis of in situ combustion processes with thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis and reaction tube experiments Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1995-01-01) This research comprises the determination of kinetic parameters of in situ combustion processes by reaction tube and thermal (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA)) experiments. A previously developed laboratory model and a Du Pont 9900 thermalanalyzer unit were used to run the experiments. Three reaction regions for combustion of crude oil in porous media were observed in the reaction tube and TGA/DTGA experiments and are defined as low temperature oxidation, fuel ...
EVALUATION OF FLUX MODELS FOR RADIATIVE-TRANSFER IN RECTANGULAR FURNACES Selçuk, Nevin (1988-07-01) Three flux-type models for three-dimensional radiative heat transfer were applied to the prediction of the radiative flux density and the source term of a box-shaped enclosure problem based on data reported previously on a large-scale experimental furnace with steep temperature gradients. The models, which are a six-term discrete ordinate model and two Schuster-Schwarzschild type six-flux models, were evaluated from the viewpoints of both predictive accuracy and computational economy by comparing their pred...
Raman frequency shifts calculated from the volume data in naphthalene Ozdemir, H.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2015-06-15) The Raman frequencies for modes of symmetry Ag and Bg are calculated as functions of temperature (at atmospheric pressure) and pressure (at room temperature) using the observed volume data from the literature through the mode Gruneisen parameters in naphthalene. By determining the temperature and pressure dependence of the isobaric (gamma(P)) and isothermal (gamma(T)) mode Gruneisen parameters, respectively, the Raman frequencies of the modes which were calculated, are in good agreement with the observed fr...
