An experimental study is described which seeks to characterise the drying kinetics of water-based ceramic (alumina) suspensions in controlled environments. The drying process of the ceramic suspensions is shown, to a first approximation, to follow a two stage mechanism (initial stage: 'external' evaporation controlled process; and second stage: 'internal' diffusion-controlled process). It has been shown that the temperature, the humidity and the surface area of the samples strongly affects the drying kinetics of these suspensions in the initial stage of the drying. The thickness of the samples is more influential in the second stage of the drying. There are no noticeable effects of the initial solid content and the nature of binder content of the suspensions on the drying kinetics. A first order empirical relationship is provided in order to predict the drying time and drying curve for these ceramic suspensions. The drying curves of tape cast suspensions is shown to be predicted accurately by the use of this relationship. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Limited and Techna S.r.l. All rights reserved.

Biological hydrogen production from olive mill wastewater and its applications to bioremediation
Eroğlu, Ela; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
Hydrogen production by photosynthetic bacteria occurs under illumination in the presence of anaerobic atmosphere from the breakdown of organic substrates, which is known as photofermentation. In this study, single-stage and two-stage process development were investigated for photofermentative hydrogen production from olive mill wastewater by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 within indoor and outdoor photobioreactors. It was proven that diluted olive mill wastewater (OMW) could be utilized for photobiological...
Rheological analysis of ceramic pastes
Özkan, Necati; Briscoe, Brian J.; Aydin, Ismail (1999-12-01)
This paper is concerned with a number of means of characterising the rheological properties of a ceramic paste. The intrinsic flow behaviour of the paste, during upsetting, is studied experimentally by using multi coloured paste samples, as well as by a finite element numerical computation. The flow behaviour of the paste is approximated by an elasto-viscoplastic material constitutive model and implemented by using an established finite element code. The material flow properties, which are necessary for the...
PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF EGGPLANTS DRIED BY DIFFERENT DRYING METHODS
Aydoğdu, Ayça; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2014-05-09)
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of hot air drying and microwave-infrared combination drying on porous structure of eggplants. Hot air drying was performed in a tray dryer at 50 degrees C with an air velocity of 1.5 m s(-1). In microwave-infrared combination oven, different microwave powers (30%, 40% and 50%) were combined with different infrared powers (10%, 20%). During drying process, initial moisture content decreased from 14 kg water kg(-1) dry solid to approximately 0.13 ...
Direct synthesis of hydrogen storage alloys from their oxides
Tan, Serdar; Öztürk, Tayfur; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011)
The aim of this study is the synthesis of hydrogen storage compounds by electrodeoxidation technique which offers an inexpensive and rapid route to synthesize compounds from oxide mixtures. Within the scope of this study, two hydrogen storage compounds, FeTi and Mg2Ni, are aimed to be produced by this technique. In the first part, effect of sintering conditions on synthesis of FeTi was studied. For this purpose, oxide pellets made out of Fe2O3-TiO2 powders were sintered at temperatures between 900 °C – 1300...
Numerical and analytical investigation of aerosol acoustics through ducts
Arslan, Ersen; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017)
The aim of this thesis is to develop a numerical approach which can solve the sound propagation problem in air-filled circular duct containing water droplets (regarded as an aerosol) in order to obtain acoustic absorption and dispersion characteristics of the system. There exist several analytical approaches in literature for treatment of basic aerosol problems with certain limitations; however; in order to solve rather complex cases, these limitations must be handled and worked out. In this study, a couple...
