In this paper, the initial results of the research on detection of fatigue and creep damage in steam boiler pipes of a thermal power plant are presented. An ultrasonic method was preferred since construction, orientation of the damage, geometry and surface condition of the pipe limit the use of other non-destructive testing methods. In order to determine the relative sizes of fatigue cracks, comparison notches were drawn by using the echoes from comparison notches having different opening angles and depths. For a better optimisation of ultrasonic echoes, a miniature probe (4 MHz-70 degrees) was modified by mounting a wedge which has the same surface curvature as the pipes. The voids formed due to creep were detected by measuring the variation of ultrasonic wave velocities in the material using a TR probe.

Comparison of single particle combustion behaviours of raw and torrefied biomass with Turkish lignites Magalhaes, Duarte; Panahi, Aidin; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Levendis, Yiannis A. (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) This study investigated the combustion behaviour of single pulverized biomass and lignite coal particles under high temperature-high heating rate conditions. Selected fuels included three important agricultural residues in Turkey (olive residue, almond shell, and hazelnut shell), and two lignite coals from the regions of Tuncbilek and Soma in Turkey. Biomass fuels were either raw or torrefied at 275 degrees C for 30 min in nitrogen. The biomass fuels were sieved to a size cut of 212-300 mu m, and the coals ...
Comparison of iscst3 and aermod air dispersion models: case study of cayirhan thermal power plant Dölek, Emre; Atımtay, Aysel; Department of Environmental Engineering (2007) In this study, emission inventory was prepared and pollutant dispersion studies were carried out for the area around Çayırhan Thermal Power Plant to determine the effects of the plant on the environment. Stack gas measurement results were used for the emissions from the power plant and emission factors were used for calculating the emissions from residential sources and coal stockpiles in the study region. Ground level concentrations of SO2, NOx and PM10 were estimated by using EPA approved dispersion model...
Investigation of slow cook-off characteristics of self-igniting energetic materials Kaya, Zekeriya Taner; Külah, Görkem; Köksal, Murat; Department of Chemical Engineering (2022-2-08) In this study slow heating response of small-scale test items and full-scale munitions due to thermal decomposition of explosives was investigated. Thermal decomposition parameters of the four most prevalent explosive formulations (from P1 to P4) used in defense industry were determined using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Considering these parameters, an igniter formulation was developed to burn the explosive formulations in a predefined temperature before ...
Characterization of gas turbine burner instabilities by wavelet analysis of infrared images Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Amoresano, A.; Langella, G.; Niola, V.; Quaremba, G. (2016-05-01) In this paper, an optical approach is tested to spatially characterize combustion fluctuations in a single burner atmospheric gas turbine test rig. The target of present investigation was to test the optical technique during combustion tests campaign, in order to couple it to an acoustic one in a future activity to be developed on the same experimental setup. The analysis based on fast infrared imaging of flames, coupled with photomultiplier and microphones measurements, has been elaborated on a 3 MW gas tu...
Investigation of the effect of structural damping on wind turbine wind-induced fatigue loads Kocan, Cagri; Özgen, Gökhan Osman (2022-09-01) This paper presents a quantitative investigation of the effect of structural damping ratios of the tower and blade vibration modes of wind turbines on wind-induced fatigue loads at critical blade and tower sections. Fatigue loads are used as a relative measure of fatigue life in wind turbine design applications. By increasing the structural damping ratio of each one of the critical structural modes which highly contribute to the overall vibration response, short-term and lifetime fatigue loads at critical t...
