Measurements of soot concentration and soot mass were performed in microgravity conditions for hexane, heptane, nonane, and decane droplets burning in air at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) 2.2 s drop tower in Cleveland, OH. Experiments performed in air at 75.9 and 101.3 kPa indicate that the maximum soot Volume fractions and soot mass are similar, to within experimental uncertainty, for all of the fuels tested. The flame standoff ratios (FSR) did not vary significantly for the fuels considered. The soot standoff ratio for decane was significantly smaller than For the other fuels.

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...
Microwave heating of coal for enhanced magnetic removal of pyrite Uslu, T; Atalay, U (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-15) Amenability of Askale coal to desulfinization by magnetic separation following microwave heating was investigated. The coal was subjected to magnetic separation at 2 T following the treatment in a microwave oven at 850-W power and 2.45-GHz frequency. The increase in magnetic property by microwave heating at 850 W and 2.45 GHz was not sufficient to enhance the removal of considerable amount pyritic sulfur from the coal by magnetic separation at 2 T. Pyritic sulfur content was reduced by 37.46%. With the addi...
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...
AIR OXIDATION OF TURKISH BEYPAZARI LIGNITE .2. EFFECT OF DEMINERALIZATION ON STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS IN OXIDATION REACTIONS AT 150-DEGREES-C AZIK, M; YURUM, Y; GAINES, AF (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1994-01-01) Demineralized (HCl/HF) samples of Beypazari lignite were oxidized in air at 150 degrees C for up 120 h in a ventilated oven. Elemental analyses, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared (DRIFT), solid-state C-13 CP/MAS/TOSS NMR, and pyrolysis mass (PY-MS) spectroscopies as well as solvent swelling were used for the characterization of the oxidized and unoxidized samples. It was found that the removal of 90.1% of the mineral matter from Beypazari lignite facilitated the access of oxygen into the coal s...
Performance prediction of in situ combustion processes Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2001-01-01) In this research, in situ combustion performance calculations were performed using different algorithms, which were based on oil recovery/volume burned correlative methods. The correlations were based on field and laboratory combustion tube results. A computer method was developed and applied to different heavy crude oil fields. The results showed that an in situ combustion process is applicable in these fields if the volume burned is 30% for field 1 and 40% for field 2.
