This paper reports a numerical study on the thermal radiative transport in a cloud of dry water particles. Dry water is a water-in-air inverse foam which consists of micrometer-sized water droplets encapsulated by hydrophobic fumed-silica nanoparticles. The radiative properties of this novel material were estimated using the Mie theory for coated spheres. The radiative transport equation (RTE) was solved for a one-dimensional geometry using the discrete ordinates method. The effects of silica particle and water droplet size as well as the volume fraction of dry water particles on reducing radiative heat transfer were studied numerically. The results were compared with respect to two limiting cases: (i) system with no particles and (ii) silica particles with no water. The results showed that dry water reduced the local radiative heat flux as much as 20% more than that by silica particles alone. Additionally, reduction of the diameter of dry water particles from 75 to 25 μm reduced the radiative heat flux by 17%. Finally, parametric analysis showed that increasing the volume fraction of dry water by 10 times decreased the radiative heat flux by about 30% at the receiver end.

Thermal radiation transport in a fluidized dry water system
Taylan, Onur; Berberoglu, Halil (2013-05-01)
This paper reports a numerical study on thermal radiation transport in a novel material called dry water. Dry water is a water-in-air inverse foam which consists of micrometer-sized water droplets encapsulated by hydrophobic fumed-silica nanoparticles. First, the size distribution of dry water was measured using a particle size analyzer. Then, the radiation characteristics of dry water were obtained using the Mie theory for coated spheres. One-dimensional, steady radiative transport in fluidized dry water s...
Seismic response of base isolated liquid storage tanks to real and simulated near fault pulse type ground motions
Uçkan, Muhittin Eren; Umut, Onder; Sisman, Fatma Nurten; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-09-01)
In this paper, the seismic response of base-isolated liquid storage tanks subjected to real and simulated near-fault ground motions is investigated. It is assumed that the tanks are seismically isolated by single surface Concave Sliding Bearings (CSB) with different isolation periods. For the input data, the recorded and simulated ground motions having pulse type characters and their dominant waveforms are considered.
Thermal investigation of Seyitomer oil shale
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2001-03-22)
This research presents the results of experimental study on the thermal investigation of Seyitomer oil shale sample. Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to determine the thermal behaviour of the oil shale sample. From the experiments and kinetic analysis, it was observed that Seyitomer oil shale sample have more than one reaction region where the activation energies of the first region are higher. Higher heating rates resulted in higher reaction temperatures both ...
Thermal and geochemical investigation of Seyitomer oil shale
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Hufnagel, Heinz; Sonel, Nurettin (Elsevier BV, 2001-4)
The results of an experimental study on the thermal and organic geochemical investigation of Seyitomer oil shale sample are presented. Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have been used to determine the thermal behaviour of the oil shale sample. On the other hand, organic carbon content, rock-eval pyrolysis, and gas and liquid chromatography experiments were conducted to determine geochemical properties of the oil shale sample.
Uncertainty quantification by using stochastic approach in pore volume calculation for geothermal reservoir
Gürel, Emrah; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015)
This study will present the application of a stochastic approach and experimental design techniques to a geologic system in order to quantify the uncertainty of pore volume estimations for a liquid dominated high temperature geothermal reservoir. The pore volume is a key element when defining the total resource available in the field. Alasehir geothermal reservoir pore volume uncertainty has been assessed. The uncertainties being addressed include geometry (top of reservoir and base of reservoir), reservoir...
