In this research, combustion behavior of agricultural residues known as miscanthus, poplar wood, and rice husk was investigated using thermal analysis techniques. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) techniques were used. Combustion experiments were performed at five different heating rates (5, 10, 15, 25, and 50 degrees C/min). The reaction regions, ignition and burnout temperatures, heat flow rate values of biomass samples are determined. Activation energy of the biomass samples are calculated using three different iso-conversional methods. It is observed that all three agricultural residues show similar combustion characteristics. The results indicate that the reactivity of biomass fuels is due to the combustion of light compounds; however the energy release from biomass fuels is mainly due to the combustion of fixed carbon.

Thermal behavior and kinetics of crude oils at low heating rates by differential scanning calorimeter Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2012-04-01) The objective of this research was to investigate thermal behavior and kinetics of different origin crude oils in limestone matrix by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) at low heating rates. In DSC experiments, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all of the crude oil + limestone mixtures known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO) respectively. Kinetic analysis of the crude oil samples was determined by different models known as AST...
Thermal characterization of different origin class-G cements Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2014-02-01) In this study, thermal characteristics and kinetics of three different origin class-G cements (Mix, Bolu, and Nuh) were studied using thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). In DSC curves at different heating rates a number of peaks were observed consistently in different temperature intervals. TG/DTG is used to identify the detected phases and the corresponding mass loss. In the dehydration kinetic study of the different origin class-G cement samples, three different methods ...
Calorimetric study approach for crude oil combustion in the presence of clay as catalyst Varfolomeev, Mikhail A.; Nurgaliev, Danis K.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2016-01-01) In this research, the effect of heating rate and different clay concentrations on light and heavy crude oils in limestone matrix was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). In DSC experiments, two main distinct reaction regions were identified in all of the crude oil + limestone matrix + catalyst, known as low- and high-temperature oxidation respectively. It was observed that addition of clay to porous matrix significantly affected the thermal characteristics and kinetics of different origi...
Geological and thermal characterization of EskiAYehir region oil shales Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2014-04-01) In this study, geological consideration and thermal characterization of oil shale samples were studied. Geological considerations of oil shale samples were studied using Rock-Eval analysis and it was observed that the kerogen type of all oil shale samples were in the majority of Type-I and II. Thermal characteristics and kinetics analysis of oil shale samples were studied by non isothermal differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). In air atmosphere, two different mechanisms caus...
THERMAL ANALYSIS OF CO-FIRING OF OIL SHALE AND BIOMASS FUELS Ozgur, Emre; Miller, Sharon Falcone; Miller, Bruce G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2012-01-01) The effect of co-firing of biomass fuels with oil shale on combustion was investigated Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were the tools used to perform the investigation. Since the combustion of biomass is highly exothermic, biomass fuels can serve as an appropriate fuel feedstock. Biomass fuels producing much volatile matter and containing less cellulose are good candidates for co-firing with oil shale. The biomass samples used in the study were hazelnut shell, wheat bran, po...
