This study aimed at understanding the gasification kinetics of Thrace region coal samples performing isothermal carbon dioxide gasification experiments at five different temperatures (750, 825, 850, 900, 950 degrees C). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments were carried out isothermally on as received, and washed and dried coal samples, proximate and ultimate analyses of which were conducted priority. Firstly, the activation energies (Ea) of both coal samples were calculated using first order kinetics based on maximum reactivity (R-max) and reactivity index (R-s) values in substitution for the reaction rate (k(T)) in Arrhenius equation. In order to check the applicability of this computationally efficient and practical method, the obtained results were then compared with the Ea results calculated by three nth order representative gas-solid kinetic models, namely, the volumetric model (VM), grain model (GM), and random pore model (RPM). VM, GM, and RPM kinetic analyses results proposed almost identical Ea values for the as received coal (139.88 kJ/mol, 138.96 kJ/mol, and 138.87 kJ/mol respectively), which also falls within the 127.11-143.86 kJ/mol range proposed by the Rmax and Rs values. The Ea values for washed and dried coal, on the other hand, were found to be almost identical by the VM and GM (113.07 kJ/mol and 113.68 kJ/mol respectively) while the RPM proposed relatively lower Ea (107.89 kJ/mol). Rmax and Rs values proposed an Ea range of 87.62-102.62 kJ/mol for the washed and dried coal sample.

Combustion kinetics of oil shales by reaction cell experiments Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bagci, S. (Estonian Academy Publishers, 2008-01-01) In this study, kinetics parameters of combustion reaction of Seyitomer and Beypazari oil shales were determined using Weijdema's model of reaction kinetics. The analysis of reaction kinetics experiments showed two different reaction regions at combustion of Beypazari oil shale sample. Only one reaction region was observed at combustion of Seyitomer oil shale. CO2/CO ratios increased gradually at low and medium temperatures and stabilized at high temperatures, especially after complete combustion. A decrease...
Thermal characterization of crude oils by pressurized differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC) Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Nurgaliev, Danis K. (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01) In this research, pressurized differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC) were used to estimate the thermal and kinetic behaviour of two different crude oils from Tatarstan oil fields under three different pressures (100, 600, 2000 kPa) at a constant heating rate (10 degrees C/min). The heat flow curves of both crude oils indicated two reaction regions known as low temperature oxidation (LTO) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). The reaction intervals were shifted to lower temperature regions with the increas...
Heat Distribution within the Wellbore While Drilling Apak, E. C.; Ozbayoglu, E. M. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature in a circulating well is the main objective of this study. Initially, different analytical temperature distribution models were studied. Variables that have significant effect on temperature profile are observed. Since the verification of the analytical model is not probable for many cases, a computer program that uses a finite element method is employed to simulate different well conditions. Three different wells are modeled by using rectangular elements with four...
Heavy-oil solution gas drive: a laboratory study Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2002-07-01) When some heavy-oil reservoirs are produced using solution gas drive, they show: (1) higher than expected production rates, (2) low produced gas-oil ratio, and (3) relatively high recovery. The reasons for this behavior are not clear. A series of X-ray computerized-tomography (CT)-monitored, heavy-oil pressure depletion experiments were carried out to examine the core-scale phenomena using high pressure/high temperature equipment. Viscous white mineral oil (mu = 220 cp at 20 degreesC) and 9degrees API heavy...
Determination of SARA fractions of crude oils by NMR technique Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Nurgaliev, Danis K. (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01) In this research, four different crude oils from Tatarstan oil fields with wide range of API gravities (from 16.6 to 32.5 degrees API) were used for hydrogen and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H NMR and C NMR) determinations. The hydrogen and carbon aromaticity factors were calculated by using the results of H NMR and C NMR spectroscopy results. The results show that the aromaticity factors were high for heavy crude oils. For predicting SARA fractions, the correlations were developed as a f...
