An experimental apparatus has been developed in order to perform tests of primary fragmentation of solid fuels under severe heating conditions. The device is a modified heated strip reactor, capable to reach 2000 degrees C in less than 0.2 s. Particles are laid on the strip and pyrolysed under inert or moderately oxidizing conditions. The char particles and their fragments, generated upon pyrolysis, can be recovered and analysed to assess the fragmentation propensity of the fuel.

Set up of an experimental protocol for the investigation of graphite combustion in supersonic flow Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Esposito, A.; Salatino, P.; Savino, R.; Senneca, O. (2014-07-01) The paper reports on the set up of an experimental protocol for the investigation of high temperature (1200 degrees C < T < 2200 degrees C) graphite combustion in supersonic flow conditions. Cylindrical graphite specimens (3 mm D, 100 mm L) are exposed to supersonic flow of nitrogen/oxygen mixtures in a small Planetary Entry Simulator, equipped with a plasma torch. The impact of the gas flow on the specimen determines a very sharp temperature rise. A fast IR camera allows to realize two-dimensional maps of ...
Design of a pintle injector Erkal, Berksu; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk.; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) Pintle injector design methodology for liquid oxygen/gaseous methane rocket engine is investigated with this study. Cold flow experimental work is conducted with water and air to investigate the characteristics of designed injectors by observing spray formations. 750N at maximum thrust with 3:1 throttle ability is chosen as mission requirement. 3 different reservoir geometries are manufactured and experimental investigation is conducted to ensure uniform and axisymmetric spray cone. After decision of the fi...
Investigation of alternative biomass fuels and Turkish lignites at high heating rate pyrolysis and combustion conditions Magalhaes, Duarte; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-2-12) The objective of this work was to investigate alternative Turkish fuels fortheir ignition, combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification behavior and to select alternative fuels for co-firing, co-pyrolysis, and co-gasification applications based on low and high heating rate experimental results. Agricultural biomass (olive residue, almond shell, and hazelnut shell)and Turkish lignites (Tunçbilek, and Soma) were chosen as the feedstocks. Severalexperimental rigs used such as thermogravi...
Evaluation of hybridsolar-wind-hydrogenenergy system based on methanol electrolyzer Budak, Yagmur; DEVRİM, YILSER (Wiley, 2020-10-01) In this study, it is aimed to meet the annual electricity and heating needs of a house without interruption with the photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, methanol electrolyzer, and high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell system. The system results show that the use of the 2 WT with 18 PV was enough to provide the need of the methanol electrolyzer, which provides requirements of the high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The produced heat by the fuel cell was used to meet the heat requ...
Analytical investigation of wet combustion process for heavy oil recovery Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2004-12-01) Analysis of combustion tube data produced from experiments performed under realistic reservoir conditions is currently the most valid method of investigating in-situ combustion process. In this study, the optimization of water-air ratio for B. Kozluca heavy crude oil, and the comparison of the performance of dry and wet forward combustion processes were studied. An analytical model was used to extend the laboratory results so that the oil production and steam zone volume can be estimated under field conditi...
