Aging behavior of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene/ammonium perchlorate (HTPB/AP)-based composite solid propellants was studied as a function of crosslink density, which is predominantly determined by the molar ratio of diisocyanate to total hydroxyl (NCO/OH ratio) and the molar ratio of triol to diol (triol/diol ratio). For this purpose, 16 propellant samples with different compositions were prepared by changing the NCO/OH ratio as 0.81, 0.82, 0.83, and 0.85 for each triol/diol ratio of 0.07, 0.09, 0.11, and 0.13, and subjected to an accelerated aging at 65 degreesC. The changes in the mechanical properties were monitored throughout the aging period. In the initial part of the aging period, a sharp increase in stress, modulus, and hardness values and a sharp decrease in strain values were observed for all the propellants. At further stages of aging, only slight changes were observed in the mechanical properties. Concerning the aging criterion as reduction in the strain capability more than the half of the initial value, the propellants with respective NCO/OH-triol/diol ratios of 0.81-0.09, 0.85-0.09, 0.81-0.13, 0.83-0.13, and 0.85-0.13 can be considered to be aged with time.

Variation of the molar volume with the temperature and the Pippard relations near the melting point in benzene Tari, O.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2016-08-01) In this study, we calculate variation of the molar volume with the temperature at constant pressures (70.5, 85.2, 128 and 175.2 MPa) using the experimental data from the literature for the solid and liquid phases of benzene near the melting point. The calculated molar volume decreases in the solid phase as the temperature increases toward the melting temperature, whereas in the liquid phase just above the melting temperature it increases abruptly, as expected. By calculating the specific heat, thermal expan...
Response surfaces of hazelnut oil yield in supercritical carbon dioxide Ozkal, SG; Yener, Meryem Esra; Salgin, U; Mehmetoglu, U (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-01-01) Response Surface Methodology was used to determine the effects of solvent flow rate (1, 3 and 5 g/ min), pressure (300, 375 and 450 bar) and temperature (40, 50 and 60 degreesC) on hazelnut oil yield in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). Oil yield was represented by a second order response surface equation (R-2 = 0.997) using Box-Bhenken design of experiments. Oil yield increased with increasing SC-CO2 flow rate, pressure and temperature. The maximum oil yield was predicted from the response surface equ...
VARIATION OF THE LATTICE-PARAMETERS OF A BI-BASED SUPERCONDUCTOR WITH TEMPERATURE HAMDAN, NM; OZKAN, H; ZIQ, KA; ALBIS, BA (1994-12-01) Variation of the lattice parameters and thermal expansion coefficients of Bi-2223 superconductor have been measured from room temperature up to the melting point using X-ray diffraction. The lattice parameters (a and c) gradually increase up to about 250 degrees C. Between 250 degrees C to 450 degrees C the variation of the lattice parameters are quite anomalous, in that a remains almost constant while c decreases. From 450 degrees C to 600 degrees C both parameters gradually increase. Above 650 degrees C t...
Structural and mechanical characteristics of nanohydroxyapatite doped with zinc and chloride Uysal, I.; Severcan, F.; Evis, Zafer (2013-04-01) In this study, hydroxylapatite (HA) doped with Zn2+ and/or Cl- ions was synthesised by precipitation method and sintered at 1100 degrees C for 1 h. Densities of the samples were measured by the Archimedes method. Zn2+ addition increased the density significantly, while Cl- increased the density insignificantly. Hydroxylapatite phase and inconsiderable amount of CaO phase were detected in some samples according to the X-ray diffraction results. Cl- added samples (2.5 mol.-%) increased the hexagonal unit cell...
Fine-tuning the mechanical properties of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene/ammonium perchlorate-based composite solid propellants by varying the NCO/OH and triol/diol ratios Hocaoglu, O; Ozbelge, T; Pekel, F; Özkar, Saim (Wiley, 2002-06-13) Changes in the mechanical properties of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene/ammonium perchlorate-based composite solid propellants were studied during the curing period with respect to variations in the crosslink density, which was predominantly determined by the equivalent ratio of diisocyanate to total hydroxyl (NCO/OH ratio) and the equivalent ratio of triol to diol (triol/diol ratio). For this purpose, 16 propellants were prepared in different compositions through changes in the NCO/OH ratios (0.81, 0.82,...
