An Experimental study on usage of hollow glass spheres (HGS) for reducing mud density in low pressure reservoirs and lost circulation zones Arı, T. Çağrı; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2014) Drilling fluid is a fluid mixture that is used in oil and gas drilling operations. Generating hydrostatic pressure, carrying cuttings to the surface and maintaining wellbore stability is essential for a drilling fluid with its other important functions. For low pressure reservoirs, hydrostatic pressure that drilling fluid generated should be low. To achieve that, drilling fluid density should be lowered. However, use of drilling fluids with higher density than required could cause partial or complete loss o...
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OFn HEPTANE ETHANOL MIXTURE POOL FIRE IN A REDUCED SCALE TUNNEL Yamalı, Uluç; Shafee, Sina; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet (2015-09-11) Fire accidents in recent decades have drawn attention to safety issues associated with the design, construction and maintenance of tunnels. A reduced scale tunnel model constructed based on Froude scaling technique is used in the current work. Mixtures of n-heptane and ethanol are burned with ethanol volumetric fraction up to 30 percent and the longitudinal ventilation velocity varying from 0.5 to 2.5 m/s. The burning rates of the pool fires are measured using a precision load cell. The heat release rates o...
An Experimental Study on Welded Overlap CoreSteel Encased Buckling-restrained Braces Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakır; Topkaya, Cem (null; 2017-09-13) Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) can be used as a lateral load resisting system in seismic regions. A typical buckling restrained brace (BRB) is composed of a core segment, debonding material and a buckling restraining mechanism (BRM). The cross‐section of the core segment can be changed along the length to constrain yielding in a limited domain. Most of the BRBs utilize a rectangular core segment which is reduced in width throughout yielding length. The gradual reduction in the width of the core s...
An Experimental study of enhanced oil recovery application in limestone medium using NaOH solutions Ay, Cansu; Sınayuç, Çağlar; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2014) An interest in enhanced oil recovery is increasing due to rising oil prices, rising energy consumption and insufficient oil production from conventional techniques. As an EOR technique, alkaline injection is widely used to recover the trapped oil in pore spaces. In this study,the use of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions as an enhanced oil recovery technique for limestone formations in South East Turkey was investigated. Routine core analyses (porosity, permeability and grain density) and spontaneous imbibit...
An Experimental Study on Active Flow Control Using Synthetic Jet Actuators over S809 Airfoil Gul, M; Uzol, Oğuz; Akmandor, I S (IOP Publishing, 2014-6-16) This study investigates the effect of periodic excitation from individually controlled synthetic jet actuators on the dynamics of the flow within the separation and re-attachment regions of the boundary layer over the suction surface of a 2D model wing that has S809 airfoil profile. Experiments are performed in METUWIND's C3 open-loop suction type wind tunnel that has a 1 m x 1 m cross-section test section. The synthetic jet array on the wing consists of three individually controlled actuators driven by pie...
