Natural gas hydrates (NGH) are proposed as gas storage and transportation media owing to their high gas content and long-term stability of hydrate crystal structure at common refrigeration temperatures and atmospheric pressure. Technically feasible, cost efficient hydrate production is one of the crucial items of the whole chain of storage and transportation of gas by means of NGH technology. This study investigates the effects of types and number of impellers and baffles. Single impeller experiments showed that hydrate formation rates of rushton turbine (RT) experiments are always higher than hydrate formation rates of pitched blade turbines upward pumping (PBTU) experiments for all types of baffles but on the other side RT experiments consume more energy. Hydrate yield values are always higher in the RT experiments showing that although the duration of hydrate formation process lasts less compared to PBTU ones, the amount of water that is converted to gas hydrates is more in RT experiments. The same results observed also in dual impeller experiments with the objection that values were closer. In single impeller experiments only PBTU experiments formed hydrates for 3 h while in dual experiments formed PBTU with full baffle and RT with no baffle experiments indicating a serious heat transfer limitations for the other experiments. It should be mentioned that PBT is the same with PBTU since all mixed flow experiments worked in upward pumping.

From hydrocarbon reservoirs, beside of oil and natural gas, the brine is also produced as a waste material, which may be discharged at the surface or re-injected into the ground. When the wastewater is injected into the ground, it may be mixed with fresh water source due to to several reasons. Forecasting the pollutant concentrations by knowing the historical data at several locations on a field has a great importance to take the necessary precautions before the undesired situations are happened.
The Effect of Synthesis Parameters for the Mesoporous Carbons Using Silica Aerogel Templates
Sarıyer, Merve; Sezgi, Naime Aslı (null; 2019-04-22)
Hydrogen is considered as one of the most promising future energy carrier due to its high energy density and its production through ethanol steam reforming reaction (SRE) has the potential to be used for its on board production, in fuel cell powered motor vehicles. Nowadays, novel catalysts are investigated for the steam reforming of ethanol reactions in order to achieve high hydrogen yield with low coke formation. One of the novel catalyst is a mesoporous material templated mesoporous carbon. Mesoporous ca...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized in the temperature range of 500-700 degrees C over cobalt (Co)- and molybdenum (Mo)impregnated CaCO3 catalysts using acetylene gas. The effects of Co-Mo/CaCO3 catalyst's calcination temperature and Co/Mo weight ratio on the carbon deposition rate were investigated. The synthesized CNTs were multiwalled nanotubes with variable outer diameters. They exhibited Type II isotherm, and their surface areas were in the range of 24.8-89.9m(2)/g. It was concluded that the Co/Mo...
The effect of lime addition on the combustion properties and sulfur contents of three different coals
Ozbas, Kazim Esber; Hiçyilmaz, Cahit; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2002-01-01)
In this research, combustion characterization of 3 different coals of Turkey, from the Soma, Tuncbilek, and Afsin Elbistan regions, were investigated with thermal analysis techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). Lime was added to these coals in concentrations of 3, 7, and 10% by weight to investigate the change in combustible sulfur content and sulfur in ash. It was observed that lime has a positive effect on sulfur emission. Kinetic analysis was also perfor...
