Kinetic parameters obtained by various thermal analysis methods are widely used in petroleum and other industries. These methods are restricted to relatively simple models that consist of a single equation and have usually uneven sensitivity on the uncertainty of the experimental data due to logarithmic conversions. An important consideration affecting the success of the linearization methods is that the proper selection of the beginning and the end of the linear section. A new method was implemented in advanced, portable and user-friendly thermal analysis software that does not suffer the typical shortcomings of the linearization processes. The developed software can accurately identify different reaction regions by means of a numerical technique. The uses and the advantages of the developed software and the methodology were evaluated by analyzing reaction kinetics of an asphaltite and a coal sample with single and multiple reaction regions. Using a least-squares minimization technique the software can be used to match experimental data with three different kinetic models (Arrhenius, Coats and Redfern, and Ingraham and Marrier) for determining the activation energies of samples. It was observed that there is a good relation between the correlation coefficient and the success of the estimation.

Development of a linear predictive model for carbon dioxide sequestration in deep saline carbonate aquifers Anbar, Sultan; Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01) CO2 injection into deep saline aquifers is a preferred method for mitigating CO2 emission. Although deep saline aquifers are found in many sedimentary basins and provide very large storage capacities, several numerical simulations are needed before injection to determine the storage capacity of an aquifer. Since numerical simulations are expensive and time-consuming, using a predictive model enables quick estimation of CO2 storage capacity of a deep saline aquifer. In order to create a predictive model, the...
Mathematical modeling of steam-assisted gravity drainage Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-01) A mathematical model for gravity drainage in heavy-oil reservoirs and tar sands during steam injection in linear geometry is proposed. The mathematical model is based on experimental observations that the steam zone shape is an inverted triangle with the vertex fixed at the bottom production well. Both temperature and asphaltene content dependence of viscosity of the drained heavy oil and their impact on heavy oil production are considered. The developed model has been validated using experimental data pres...
Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25) This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Thermal degradation of polythiophene-natural rubber and polythiophene-synthetic rubber conducting polymer composites Hacaloğlu, Jale; Akbulut, Ural; Toppare, Levent Kamil (1997-01-01) Thermal degradation of conducting polymer composites of polythiophene and rubbers was studied by direct and indirect pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. The samples were prepared by electrooxidation of polythiophene using natural rubber or synthetic rubber as the insulating matrix. Presence of decomposition products which were not observed during pyrolysis of pure polythiophene and rubbers, and disappearance of rubber-based pyrolysis mass peaks, together with changes in thermal stability and behaviour, ...
Evaluation of adsorbents with passive sampling and their analytical methods to determine volatile organic compounds emitted from vehicular exhaust CİVAN, MİHRİBAN; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2012-04-01) In order to accurate and precise determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from vehicular emissions were developed method including a) adsorption of VOCs on different adsorbents followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID) quantification, b) validation of the sampling and analytical method. The adsorption efficiency of Tenax and Chromosorb 106 adsorbents were eveluated for 104 VOCs to select of adequate sorbent for passive sampling. Since most of t...
