Natural gas hydrate technology is an attractive alternative for storing and transporting natural gas. A high-pressure laboratory has been built to provide experimental data for use in the design and development of hydrate-based processes for the oil and gas industry. In the laboratory, hydrate is produced from liquid water-and water-in-oil emulsions-and injected natural gas mixtures. The hydrate reactor and circulation loop can operate at pressures up to 120 bar and constant temperatures in the range 0-20 degrees C. The hydrate slurry produced can be circulated at up to 100 liter/minute through 4-m long pipes equipped with differential pressure transducers and flow meters to determine their rheological characteristics under laminar and turbulent flow conditions. The laboratory can also be used for various flow assurance studies.

A numerical simulation study on mixing of inert cushion gas with working gas in an underground gas storage reservoir Kilincer, N; Gumrah, F (2000-12-01) The cushion gas, providing the pressure energy necessary for withdrawal of working gas, makes up the largest part of the investment in underground gas storage projects. The suggested method of reducing this cost is the replacement of some part of the cushion gas with less expensive inert gas, such as nitrogen. In the replacement, there might be some problems due to mixing between natural gas and inert gas. Turkey has sharply increasing demand for natural gas. The constant imported gas and varying demand thr...
An electronic control unit design for a miniature jet engine Polat, Cuma; Dölen, Melik; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) Gas turbines are widely used as power sources in many industrial and transportation applications. This kind of engine is the most preferred prime movers in aircrafts, power plants and some marine vehicles. They have different configurations according to their mechanical constructions such as turbo-prop, turbo-shaft, turbojet, etc. These engines have different efficiencies and specifications and some advantages and disadvantages compared to Otto-Cycle engines. In this thesis, a small turbojet engine is inves...
CHARACTERIZATION OF LATENT THERMAL ENERGY IN A STORAGE UNIT WITH FIBONACCI-SEQUENCE-INSPIRED FINS Baghaei Oskouei, Seyedmohsen; Bayer, Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2023-1-19) Latent thermal energy storage (LTES) is a viable method to mitigate one of the main problems with renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, which is their intermittent nature. LTES units take advantage of the large latent heat of fusion in phase change materials (PCMs) to store a substantial amount of energy in a relatively small volume, making them efficient and economical. The major challenge with PCMs is their low thermal conductivity, eventuating long melting (charging) and solidification (dischar...
Simulation of depleted gas reservoir for underground gas storage Öztürk, Bülent; Bağcı, Suat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2004) For a natural gas importing country, أtake or payؤ approach creates problems since the demand for natural gas varies during the year and the excess amount of natural gas should be stored. In this study, an underground gas storage project is evaluated in a depleted gas Field M. After gathering all necessary reservoir, fluid, production and pressure data, the data were adapted to computer language, which was used in a commercial simulator software (IMEX) that is the CMG̕s (Computer Modelling Group) new genera...
EVALUATION OF SALT STRUCTURES FOR UNDERGROUND GAS STORAGE IN THE TUZGÖLÜ AND THE ÇANKIRI BASINS, TÜRKİYE Güngör, Ayşe; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2023-1-25) Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is present in every step of our daily life, in terms of commercial, domestic, and industrial areas. It has wide low and high demand periods which necessitates its storage during low periods to be used during the high periods. One of the widely used storage methods is underground natural gas storage (UGS) facilities that have been used since 1915. They are economically important in long-term usage in the marketing area. Therefore, finding new suitable underground storage ...
