This study focused on the investigation of non-isothermal thermal behavior and kinetics of Turkish crude oils under combustion and pyrolysis conditions using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). On DSC combustion curves, two exothermic oxidation regions were detected known as low temperature (LTO) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). Again, two distinct reaction regions were revealed under pyrolysis conditions and DSC curves exhibited endothermic behavior for both the distillation and cracking regions. In consequence of thermal analyses, the heat of reaction amount was related to the degrees API gravity and accordingly to the asphaltene content of crude oils. It was proved that, with the decrease in degrees API gravity of crude oil, its heat release during HTO and heat requirement for cracking reaction increase. Experimental results showed that the reaction temperature intervals, peak temperatures and heat flows shifted to greater degrees for higher heating rates. With the application of ASTM I-II and Roger & Morris kinetic methods, it was observed that heavier oils with higher asphaltene content had greater activation energy and Arrhenius constant values.

Thermal Analysis of Crude oil lignite mixtures by Differential Scanning Calorimetry Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 1994-04-01) Thermal characterization of lignite, crude oils and their 10 and 20% mixtures were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.). The calorific value of the lignite increased in mixtures depending on the crude oil type. In pyrolysis runs, temperature ranges where distillation and visbreaking occur were identified for the crude oils studied. The effect of heating rate was also studied, and higher reaction temperatures and higher heat flow rates were observed at d.s.c. peak thermograms with incre...
3-d model studies of alkaline flooding using horizontal wells Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2004-07-02) In this study, the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for the improved oil recovery of Garzan (26degreesAP1) crude oil was investigated using two different laboratory models. The effect of injection rate on oil recovery was investigated using a one-dimensional unconsolidated limestone reservoir model. The effect of horizontal and vertical well configurations on oil recovery was also studied using a 3-D physical model and various well configurations. As previously studied, the interfacial tension mea...
Analytical investigation of wet combustion process for heavy oil recovery Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2004-12-01) Analysis of combustion tube data produced from experiments performed under realistic reservoir conditions is currently the most valid method of investigating in-situ combustion process. In this study, the optimization of water-air ratio for B. Kozluca heavy crude oil, and the comparison of the performance of dry and wet forward combustion processes were studied. An analytical model was used to extend the laboratory results so that the oil production and steam zone volume can be estimated under field conditi...
SCANNING ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY OF TREATED BITUMINOUS COALS HUAI, HY; GAINES, AF; FLINT, CD (Elsevier BV, 1992-11-01) Scanning electron microscopy of particles of three bituminous coals (78.5% C, 81.7% C and 89.9% C d.a.f.) which had been treated with pyridine, methanol, bromine, air, sulfuric acid, ammonia and alkylating agents showed that the reagents produced significant changes in the morphology of the particles. The particles cracked and disintegrated in ways which appear to be characteristic of the disruption of hydrogen bonding, the volume and thermal changes accompanying local reactions and of the breakage of C-C b...
Laser-induced ignition of solid propellants for gas generators Ulaş, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2008-05-01) An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the ignitibility of a family of potential gas-generator solid propellants under different CO(2) laser heat fluxes and chamber operating conditions. Six types of solid propellant were tested: one baseline and five variations. The ingredients of the baseline propellant were ammonium nitrate, guanidine nitrate, potassium nitrate, and polyvinyl alcohol. The other five propellant variations were obtained by adding different amounts of carbon black, ammonium perchlo...
