Mathematical modeling of the soaking period in a microbial enhanced oil recovery application Behlulgil, K; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju (2003-09-01) In this study, experimental conditions of the microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technique applied for Garzan oil (26degrees API; southeast Turkey) were utilized in a mathematical model that describes the transport of bacteria and its nutrients by convective and dispersive forces, including bacterial decay and growth. From the results of the variation of bacterial concentration with distance, it was observed that the bacterial concentration increased as the nutrients were consumed with time. Although so...
Mathematical modeling of nox emissions in bubbling fluidized bed combustors Afacan, M. Onur; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) A comprehensive model, previously developed and tested for prediction of behavior of continuous fluidized bed combustors is extended to incorporate NOx formation and reduction reactions and applied to the simulation of METU 0.3 MWt Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) burning lignites with high volatile matter in their own ashes. The predictive accuracy of the model was assessed by comparing its predictions with measurements taken previously on the same rig. Favorable comparisons are obtaine...
Mathematical modeling of survival and weight loss of Baker's yeast during drying Alpas, Hami; BOZOGLU, F; KATNAS, S (1996-10-01) Drying and death rates of Baker's yeast were studied in a computer-controlled laboratory scale tunnel drier with varying air velocity between 2.0-3.0 ms-1 and temperatures within the range of 40-60 degrees C. Two falling rate periods were observed during the drying process. A single first-order expression described the death rate of the microorganisms during both drying phases. Arrhenius-type expressions described the effects of the temperature on the first falling rate period drying and death rate constant...
Mathematical modeling of wax deposition in crude oil pipeline systems Saraçoğlu, Önder Ramiz; Kök, Mustafa V.; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (1999)
Mathematical Modelling of Wax Deposition in Crude Oil Pipeline Systems Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Saracoglu, Onder (2000-01-01) Deposition of wax on the wall of the crude oil pipelines is regarded as a problem since the pipeline diameter is reduced. Therefore more power is required to force the same amount of crude oil through the system. In this study, a mathematical model is developed for estimation of wax deposition in crude oil pipeline systems. A computer program was developed to simulate wax deposition phenomena. Each component is characterized by weight fraction, heat of fusion and melting point temperature. Temperature profi...
