Possible mechanisms that would determine the rheological behavior of AWS’s were examined in terms of apparent viscosity. The role of pH, particle size distribution, deminerilization and their effects on the viscosity of AWS’s were investigated and discussed. An increase in the pH decreased the apparent viscosity of AWS’s due to the increase in the zeta potential of the particles in the slurry. Particle size distribution also impacted the rheological behavior of AWS’s. An increase in fineness enhanced inter-particle aggregation, resulting in increases in the viscosity of AWS’s. Demineralization process altered the viscosity of AWS’s due to the changes on the inorganic/organic content and relative wettability. The removal of hydrophilic inorganic constituents and the relative increase in the hydrophobicity resulted in higher viscosity AWS’s. The effect of particle surface oxidation was also tested as a possible effect of the demineralization process. Oxidized asphaltite particles with relatively hydrophilic nature caused lower viscosity AWS’s than fresh ground non-oxidized particles. As a result, any condition that increased the hydrophilicity of asphaltite particles decreased the viscosity of AWS’s and vice versa.

Investigation of the effect of geometrical parameters of pressure swirl atomizer on the hollow cone spray
Tokgöz, Tolga; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
In this study, effects of geometrical parameters of pressure swirl atomizer on the hollow cone spray are investigated experimentally, and physical phenomenon inside the pressure swirl atomizer is investigated numerically. In the experimental studies, hollow cone spray properties are examined macroscopically and microscopically. Macroscopic spray properties are studied by a visual technique called high-speed shadowgraphy. The hollow cone spray images are captured for different geometrical configurations of t...
Analysis of the standard deviation of surface potential fluctuations in MOS interface from DLTS spectra
Ozder, S; Atilgan, I; Katircioglu, B (IOP Publishing, 1998-05-01)
The surface potential fluctuations can have significant effects on both the magnitude and shape of the measured small-pulse DLTS spectrum. An increase in the dispersion parameter sigma(S) of the surface potential distribution, which is assumed to have a Gaussian form, leads to a reduction in the DLTS signal size, a shift of the peak position and a broadening of the peak shape. A computer program including the exponential temperature dependence of hole capture cross section, sigma(P) = sigma(0) exp(-Delta E-...
Investigation of HMO spectra of Huckel and Mobius type cyclacenes
Turker, L; Erkoç, Şakir (1997-01-01)
The Huckel molecular orbital spectra (HMO) of Huckel- and Mobius-type cyclacenes having 3-15 benzenoid rings were investigated and it was found that certain eigenvalues are topologically invariant, whereas others exhibit topological periodicity. Fbr example, Huckel-type cyclacenes having 2r (r: 2,3,4,...) benzenoid rings which possess nonbonding molecular orbitals (NBMO) and are thus expected to be open shell structures.
Application of isokinetic sampling technique for local solid densities in upward liquid-solid flows through an annulus
Camçı, Gülden; Özbelge, Ayşe Tülay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003)
In this study, radial solid density distributions in upward flowing water-feldspar mixtures through a concentric annulus were investigated. Local solid density measurements were performed at a test cross-section in the fully developed flow region of a concentric annulus, which is a part of a closed-loop system consisting of a head tank, a variable speed slurry pump, an orificemeter, a heat exchanger, an annulus, a temperature probe, and a drain line. The solid particles with mean diameters of 72 and 138 ?m ...
Investigation of tensile plastic instability and necking for AL2024T3 aluminum and S235JR steel alloys
İli, Volkan; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Tensile plastic instability phenomenon is defined as the mode of deformation so that large amounts of deformation is localized in a certain region of a component during product life or testing procedure. Several studies have been published to assess the methods proposed to predict tensile plastic instability and necking behavior of materials. Although research has been done by using various specimens, comparative results on different specimen materials and geometries as well as different test methods have n...
