JP-900 (C10H18) is a bicyclic, high-energy-density fuel being employed in aircrafts. In recent years, inspection of fuels refined by different processes has showed that noticeably higher peroxide concentrations exist in fuels, which have been severely hydrotreated. Hydroperoxide concentration was considered to be a parameter in fuel instability. Presently, Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to investigate the mechanisms of oxidation of JP-900 through hydroperoxidation. The total electronic energies of JP-900, and certain radicals and hydroperoxides originated from JP-900 were calculated. Their thermodynamic stabilities were discussed. The most feasible carbon center of JP-900 that would be oxidized through hydroperoxidation was assigned. It has been found that the hydroperoxides may decompose to different products having greater stability (possessing more negative total electronic energies). A variety of mechanisms including carboxylic acid (ester)-alkane, alcohol-aldehyde and ketone-alcohol decomposition mechanism were questioned. The probable decomposition products were determined and confirmed by thermodynamic calculations.

Application of pressure gauge measurement method beyond its limits Kutukcu, Basak; Ayrancı Tansık, İnci (Elsevier BV, 2019-01-01) The key design parameter for most solid-liquid operations in a stirred tank is the just suspended speed, N-js. In majority of the literature N-js is determined by visual observation of the tank bottom. This method is observer dependent, and the results may vary up to 38% between two observers. A more recent method, pressure gauge measurement (PGM) method, is promising as it is based on pressure measurements at the bottom of the tank, and therefore is observer independent. This method also does not require a...
Electropolishing of an Fe-Ni-Co Alloy in Acetic Acid-Perchloric Acid Mixture Aksu, Yasemin; ERDOĞAN, METEHAN; Demirci, Gokhan; Karakaya, İshak (2016-06-02) Among Fe-Ni-Co alloys, Kovar (53%Fe-29%Ni-17%Co) designated as ASTM F-15 (1), is a well-known glass-sealing alloy. It is also classified as low–expansion alloy (2). Low expansion is required to avoid internal stresses in applications that involve strong ceramic to metal joining such as in vacuum systems (3-6). Electropolishing is applied to obtain smooth metallic surfaces to gain low outgassing rates from the chamber walls in vacuum applications (7-9). The effects of current density, perchloric acid concent...
Displacement kinetics of 1,5-cyclooctadiene from M(CO)(4)(eta(2:2)-1.5-cyclooctadiene) (M=Cr, Mo, W) by bis(diphenylphosphino)alkane Kayran, C; Okan, E; Özkar, Saim; Ozturk, O; Saldamli, S; Tekkaya, A; Kreiter, CG (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 1997-01-01) The thermal substitution kinetics of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) from M(CO)(4)(eta(2:2)-COD) (M = Cr, Mo, W) by bis(diphenylphosphino)alkane, (C6H5)(2)P(CH2)(n)-P(C6H5)(2) (n = 1, 2, 3), was studied by quantitative FT-IR spectroscopy. The reaction rate exhibits first-order dependence on the concentration of starting complex and the observed rate constant depends on the concentrations of both the leaving COD and entering diphosphine ligand. In the proposed mechanism the rate determining step is the cleavage of ...
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...
Calculation of Detonation Properties of Gaseous Explosives Using Generalized Reduced Gradient Nonlinear Optimization Ulaş, Abdullah (Wiley, 2011-08-01) In this paper, a study on the development of a numerical modeling of the detonation of C-H-N-O-based gaseous explosives is presented. In accordance with the numerical model, a FORTRAN computer code named GasPX has been developed to compute both the detonation point and the detonation properties on the basis of Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) theory. The determination of the detonation properties in GasPX is performed in chemical equilibrium and steady-state conditions. GasPX has two improvements over other thermodyna...
