This study aims to understand the effects of drying temperatures during sodium sulphate salt crystallization tests on the physico-mechanical properties of some Mug. la marbles. Four commercially available and extensively used Turkish marbles, namely Mug. la white, Milas white, Derebag white and Milas Pearl, having different textural properties were subjected to sodium sulphate salt crystallization tests with 30, 60 and 100 degrees C drying temperatures. The change in the physico-mechanical properties of the marbles including weight, dry and saturated unit weights, water absorption, effective porosity, dry and saturated sonic velocities and dry uniaxial compressive strength has been determined for various stages of the salt crystallization tests. The results were evaluated in terms of drying temperatures and the textural properties of the marbles. Based on the test results, the salt crystallization with the drying temperature of 100 degrees C causes significant damage to all marbles. However, the drying temperature of the test at 60 degrees C gives rise to moderate damage, whereas the drying of the marbles at 30 degrees C gives the least damage. Therefore, the drying temperature of the salt crystallization tests should be less than 60 degrees C and preferably around 30 degrees C in order to avoid additional thermal effects on marbles. Furthermore, the fine-gained Milas pearl marble with irregular grain boundary is found to be the most resistant one against the salt crystallization.

Effects of Microwave-Infrared Combination Drying on Quality of Eggplants Aydogdu, Ayca; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2015-06-01) The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hot-air drying and microwave-infrared combination drying on drying characteristics and quality parameters of eggplants. Eggplant slices were dried by using microwave-infrared combination oven at different microwave powers (30, 40, and 50 %) and different infrared (IR) powers (10, 20, and 30 %). Hot-air drying was performed in a tray dryer at 50 A degrees C with an air velocity of 1.5 m/s. As quality parameters, color, rehydration ratio, shrinkage...
Effects of nanoclays on the flammability of polystyrene with triphenyl phosphate-based flame retardants Kaynak, Cevdet (SAGE Publications, 2013-07-01) The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of nanoclays on the flammability behavior of neat polystyrene and polystyrene compounded with traditional flame retardants triphenyl phosphate and its synergist melamine cyanurate. Nanocomposites were prepared via ultrasound-assisted solution intercalation technique. Dispersion and nanomorphology of nanoclays were investigated through X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Thermal stability and flammability behaviors were...
Effect of limestone addition on radiative heat transfer during co-firing of high-sulfur content lignite with biomass in fluidized bed combustors Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-01-01) In this study, influence of limestone addition on radiative heat transfer during co-firing of high-sulfur content lignite with olive residue in the freeboard of 300 kW(t) Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) is investigated by using an in-house developed radiation code based on Method of Lines (MOL) solution of Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM). The freeboard is treated as a 3D rectangular enclosure containing gray, absorbing, emitting gas with absorbing, emitting, anisotropically scattering p...
Effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio on the physical and chemical properties of activated sludge Durmaz, B; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2003-11-01) The effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of the feed on the physical and surface chemical properties of activated sludge is investigated. Semi-continuous reactors with 2 liters volume were operated at a mean cell residence time of 8 days. These mixed culture reactors were operated at 3 different carbon to nitrogen ratio. The operation of conventional activated sludge plants treating municipal wastewater is represented with reactors having a C/N ratio of 21 (in terms of the ratio of COD to TKN). Carbon a...
Effect of Protein-Lipid-Salt Interactions on Sodium Availability in the Mouth and Consequent Perception of Saltiness: In Solutions Yücel, Umut; Peterson, Devin G. (2015-09-02) The influence of protein sodium interactions on the availability of sodium in the aqueous phase of liquid samples and consequently on the perception of saltiness was investigated. The aqueous effluents of casein and casein emulsion salt solutions were monitored for sodium availability from a tongue column system. In the aqueous protein salt solutions, increasing the protein/salt ratio from 1:1 to 5:1 or 10:1 significantly decreased the initial salt concentration in the effluent and resulted in a higher salt...
