Mathematical Modelling of Wax Deposition in Crude Oil Pipeline Systems
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Saracoglu, Onder (2000-01-01)
Deposition of wax on the wall of the crude oil pipelines is regarded as a problem since the pipeline diameter is reduced. Therefore more power is required to force the same amount of crude oil through the system. In this study, a mathematical model is developed for estimation of wax deposition in crude oil pipeline systems. A computer program was developed to simulate wax deposition phenomena. Each component is characterized by weight fraction, heat of fusion and melting point temperature. Temperature profi...
Mathematical modeling of adsorption/desorption systems for chemical heat pumps
Yurtsever, Ahmet Onur; Uludağ, Yusuf; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011)
Despite their limited commercial applications, chemical heat pumps (CHP) have been considered as an important alternative to conventional heating and cooling technologies. In this study, the adsorption-desorption of ethanol over activated carbon was applied on the CHP reactor. The ethanol vapor - activated carbon adsorption rate was determined at 30, 60, 90 and 120° experimentally by using Intelligent Gravimetric Analyzer C(IGA). The experimental adsorption data were used on the transient modeling of reacto...
Mathematical modeling of nox emissions in bubbling fluidized bed combustors
Afacan, M. Onur; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
A comprehensive model, previously developed and tested for prediction of behavior of continuous fluidized bed combustors is extended to incorporate NOx formation and reduction reactions and applied to the simulation of METU 0.3 MWt Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) burning lignites with high volatile matter in their own ashes. The predictive accuracy of the model was assessed by comparing its predictions with measurements taken previously on the same rig. Favorable comparisons are obtaine...
Mathematical modeling of swelling in high moisture whey protein gels
Öztop, Halil Mecit (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01)
Gels prepared from whey proteins can be used for controlled release of nutrients or active ingredients in food systems. The objective of this study was to characterize the water uptake by these hydrophilic gels to aid in the design of release systems. Whey protein isolate (WPI) gels (17% w/w protein) of different aspect ratios were submersed in aqueous solution at pH 7.0. Modeling of mass uptake is presented in terms of Case I (Fickian diffusion) and Case II (kinetic) models. Due to the extent of swelling, ...
Mathematical modeling of supercritical fluid extraction of biomaterials
Çetin, Halil İbrahim; Yener, Meryem Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2007)
Supercritical fluid extraction has been used to recover biomaterials from natural matrices. Mathematical modeling of the extraction is required for process design and scale up. Existing models in literature are correlative and dependent upon the experimental data. Construction of predictive models giving reliable results in the lack of experimental data is precious. The long term objective of this study was to construct a predictive mass transfer model, representing supercritical fluid extraction of biomate...
