Gas hydrates have become very popular recently especially as an energy source and a transportation medium. The estimations of hydrate properties such as hydrate equilibrium pressure, cage occupancy, density, mass, hydration number, and enthalpy of hydrate dissociation are quite important. In this study, several codes that are written using Matlab 2014a were explained. These codes, namely HEP.m, HEPComp.m, Sm.m, SmMix.m, and BSRm are used together for the determination of hydrate properties. HEP.m is used to estimate hydrate equilibrium properties and was integrated with HEPComp.m which calculates gas compositional change of feed gas during hydrate formation of gas mixtures, Sm.m and SmMix.m, which are used to determine the amount of gas and water needed to obtain target saturation in experimental studies of hydrate, formed in sediments inside high pressure reactors. Finally, BSRm code was written to predict gas composition near the line bottom simulating reflectance (BSR) in ocean sediments. BSR lines indicate the possible locations of gas hydrates in nature. To understand the reliability of the codes written in this study, they were tested and compared with experimental data, other software, and literature data. According to the results of comparison studies, very good results were obtained so the codes in this study are suggested to be used in gas hydrate studies.

Development of organic-inorganic composite membranes for fuel cell applications Erdener, Hülya; Baç, Nurcan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) Hydrogen is considered to be the most promising energy carrier of the 21st century due to its high energy density and sustainability. The chemical energy of hydrogen can be directly converted into electricity by means of electrochemical devices called fuel cells. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are the most preferred type of fuel cells due to their low operating temperatures enabling fast and easy start-ups and quick responses to load changes. One of the most important components of a PEMFC is t...
Development of ceria and tungsten promoted nickel/alumina catalysts for steam reforming of diesel Bozdag, A. Arslan; Kaynar, A. D. Deniz; Doğu, Timur; Sezgi, Naime Aslı (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-01) Use of diesel fuel for on-board hydrogen production for auxiliary power units (APUs) through diesel steam reforming (DSR) reaction is a promising route. Coke minimization for cheap and active Ni/Al2O3 catalyst is necessary for long term operation in DSR reaction. Coke minimization with high hydrogen productivity can be accomplished through the optimization of operating conditions and promoting the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst with ceria (CeO2) and tungsten (W) which attracts attention with their coke resistive propert...
Particle Velocity, Solids Hold-Up, and Solids Flux Distributions in Conical Spouted Beds Operating with Heavy Particles Külah, Görkem; KÖKSAL, MURAT (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-03-23) Conical spouted beds operating with high density particles have recently gained attention because of their potential use as nuclear fuel coaters for next-generation nuclear reactors. To design, scale-up, and manufacture these coaters, detailed investigation of local flow structure is of paramount importance. Therefore, in this study, local instantaneous particle velocity and solids hold-up and flux measurements were carried out in spouted beds having a wide range of cone angles (30, 45, 60) using zirconia p...
Direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (dme) from synthesis gas using novel catalysts Arınan, Ayça; Varışlı, Dilek; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) Increasing prices of crude oil derived transportation fuels ascended the researches on seeking alternative fuels, in last decades. Moreover, the increasing rate of global warming, because of high greenhouse gas emissions initiated new research for environment-friendly clean alternative fuels. Due to its low NOx emission, good burning characteristics and high cetane number, dimethyl ether (DME) attracted major attention as a transportation fuel alternative. Two possible pathways have been proposed for DME pr...
A NEW CORRELATION FOR TWO-PHASE PRESSURE DROPS IN FULLY DEVELOPED DILUTE SLURRY UP-FLOWS THROUGH AN ANNULUS Oezbelge, Tuelay A.; Camciuenal, Guelden (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The prediction of two-phase pressure drops is important in the design of fluidized beds, heat exchangers, slurry transport lines, annular risers in reactors, driers, and other applications of particulate flows. Experimental data for liquid-solid up-flows through annuli are very limited. In this study, a correlation was developed for predicting two-phase pressure drops via Euler number (Eutp) for liquid-solid suspension up-flows in the fully developed flow region of an annulus in terms of mixture Reynolds nu...
