USE OF THERMAL EQUIPMENT TO EVALUATE CRUDE OILS

1993-02-17
A Du Pont differential scanning calorimeter (DCS) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) has been used to characterize the pyrolysis and combustion properties of two heavy crude oils. In pyrolysis runs, temperature ranges where distillation and visbreaking occur were identified. In combustion with air three different reaction regions were identified, known as low temperature oxidation, fuel deposition, and high temperature oxidation. DSC-TGA curves have also been used to determine the heat values and reaction parameters of crude oils.

Use of NMR relaxometry to assess physicochemical characteristics of seeds and grains
Ünal, Kübra; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2022-8)
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxometry is a widely used characterization method for the analysis of physiological and biochemical changes in a huge variety of samples. Time domain NMR (TD-NMR) relaxometry provides structural analysis at low magnetic fields. It is basically relies on the relaxation times of proton signals coming from the entire sample. Thus, it provides quantification of water absorption and analyzing its distribution within the biological systems. In this dissertation, plant tissues a...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of high temperature PEM fuel cells by using Comsol Multiphysics
Sezgin, Berna; Caglayan, Dilara Gulcin; DEVRİM, YILSER; Steenberg, Thomas; Eroğlu, İnci (2016-06-22)
The objective of this study is to observe the effect of the critical design parameters, velocities of inlet gases (hydrogen and air) and the conductivity of polymer membrane, on the performance of a high temperature PEM fuel cell. A consistent and systematic mathematical model is developed in order to study the effect of these parameters. The model is applied to an isothermal, steady state, three-dimensional PEM fuel cell in order to observe concentration profiles, current density profiles and polarization ...
Characterization and kinetics of light crude oil combustion in the presence of metallic salts
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-05-01)
In this research, a reaction cell, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to characterize the light crude oil combustion and kinetics in the presence of copper(I) chloride (CuCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2·6H2O). In TG-DTA experiments with magnesium chloride, three reaction regions were identified, known as distillation, low-temperature oxidation (LTO), and high-temperature oxidation (HTO). In the case of copper(I) chloride, two main transitional stages are observed with...
Production and development of aluminide coatings by chemical vapor deposition on nickel based superalloys for turbine engine applications
Ertürk, Umutcan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017)
Diffusion coatings including aluminide coatings are utilized to improve the high temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance of turbine blades. Through the advancement in the aluminizing methods, higher purity and more homogeneously distributed coatings have been realized. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most advanced technique utilized for aluminizing process. The versatility of CVD provides a large possibility to control process variables such as temperature, pressure, gas flows and ratios, ...
Influence of water vapour on high temperature oxidation of steels used in petroleum refinery heaters
Sultan, A.; Karakaya, İshak; Erdogan, M. (2012-02-01)
The oxidation behaviours of three different steels used in the construction of petroleum refinery heaters were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique. C-5, P-11 and P-22 steel samples were tested in two different environments: air and CO2+2H2O+7.52N2, a gas composition which simulates the combustion products of natural gas, at 450 and 500 degrees C. P-22 steel had the best oxidation resistance at both temperatures in air. In CO2+2H2O+7.52N2 environment, the oxidations of all the steels w...
