    Validation on of Local Thermal Equilibrium and Uniform Pressure Assumptions for an Isobaric Adsorption Process in an Adsorbent Bed
    (Türk Isı Bilimi ve Tekniği Derneği, 2016) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, Semra
    Bu çalışmanın amacı, adsorbent yatakta ısı ve kütle transferini analiz etmek için kullanılan yerel ısıl denge ve sabit basınç yaklaşımı varsayımların geçerliliğini araştırmaktır. İçerisinde silika jel partikülleri içeren bir yatak ile su kabı olan bir deney düzeneği tasarlanmış ve adsorpsiyon sürecinde yatağın içinde farklı yerlerde yerel sıcaklık ve basınç ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca, sabit basınç yaklaşımı ve yerel ısıl denge varsayımlara dayalı ısı ve kütle transferi denklemleri çözülmüştür. Sayısal sonuçlar, ilgili deneysel sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmış ve aralarında oldukça iyi bir uyum tespit edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen karşılaştırmaya dayanarak, incelenen yatak için iki önemli sonuç şu şekildedir: a) katı madde ve su buharı arasında yerel ısıl denge bulunmaktadır, b) bir yatak içinde parçacıklar arası kütle transferi direnci ihmal edilebilir düzeyde olup konsantrasyonunun ve sıcaklığın belirlenmesi için sabit basınç yaklaşımı geçerlidir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada sunulan deneysel sonuçlar diğer araştırmacıların sayısal çalışmalarının geçerliliğini doğtulamak için değerli veriler sağlayacaktır.

    Microstructural Characterization of Industrial Chromite and Spinel Cement Kiln Refractories With Emphasis on the Iron-Rich Rims
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Mercanköşk, Y.; Akkurt, Sedat; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    Magnesia-chromite (MgO + MgO·Cr2O3) and magnesia-spinel (MgO + MgO·Al2O3) refractory bricks that are used in the high temperature zones of rotary cement kilns are investigated for their microstructural characteristics. Their microstructures are important because the size, shape and distribution of periclase grains, chromites and the quality of their bonding phases significantly affect their service performances. The purpose of this study was to characterize the microstructures of industrial brick samples to develop a protocol to compare different products e.g. for evaluation as replacement bricks. In some of the chromite containing bricks iron-rich rims were observed, while a domestic brick with similar chemistry had no such feature. These iron-rich rims were examined using SEM-EDS. It was found that the counter-diffusion of Fe+3 and Cr+3 were responsible for their formation. Exsolved chrome-spinel was widely observed in the microstructures of chromite bricks. Magnesia-spinel bricks were found to contain low melting calcium aluminates as bond phases in the microstructure, posing a threat to service performance. Portmortem microanalysis of industrially used bricks revealed alkali attack in addition to creep as main destruction mechanisms for brick. Traces of elements like Mo, S and alkalies were observed and thought to originate from the use of waste derived fuels.

    Mechanical Properties of Hydroxyapatite Composites Reinforced With Hydroxyapatite Whiskers
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Şimşek, Deniz; Çiftçioğlu, Rukiye; Güden, Mustafa; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Harsa, Hayriye Şebnem
    Sintering and mechanical behavior of pure and hydroxyapatite (HA) whisker reinforced HA composites were investigated in this work. Pure and composite samples were prepared by using a commercial powder and whiskers prepared by molten salt synthesis. The dry-pressed samples were sintered in the 800 and 1300°C range. The effect of whisker-addition on the mechanical properties of HA was investigated through compression and hardness testing. Compressive strength and fracture strain were observed to increase by the addition of whiskers.

    Low Temperature Synthesis of Spinel Powders by Mechanical Grinding
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Yalamaç, Emre; Akkurt, Sedat; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    Low temperature synthesis of spinel powder via intense mechanical grinding was performed. A dramatic decrease in the synthesis temperatures of ground powders was achieved. We were able to produce partially crystallized spinel at room temperature via a 110 minute grinding. Characterization of the synthesized powders was performed using SEM, XRD and DTA. Each stage of synthesis was analyzed using these techniques. Mixtures of Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH) 3 were used for synthesis. Temperatures as low as 800°C were able to produce bumps in the XRD patterns of ground powders at the 2θ angles for spinel crystals.

    Preparation and Microstuructural Development of Nanocrystalline Titania and Alumina
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Çağlar Duvarcı, Özlem; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Güden, Mustafa; Arıkut, G.
    The preparation of nanocrystalline titania and alumina was investigated by sol-gel methods using titanium isopropoxide, boehmite and aluminum isopropoxide. Various drying control chemical additives like oxalic acid, acetic acid and polyacrylic acid were used for modifying the drying behaviour and shrinkage of the gels. The sintered densities of the ceramics prepared by sol-gel processing and the dried gels were in the 79-99% of theoretical density for rutile. The green and sintered densities of the pellets prepared by uniaxial pressing of powders derived from sols, gels and precipitation techniques for titania were in the 40-52% and 55-83% respectively. The titania ceramics were observed to experience anatase-rutile phase transformation upon heat treatment at 650oC. The grain size of the sintered ceramics at 650oC was determined to be about 26 nm. Grain size of titania increased to 213 nm. at 850oC. The mechanical properties of these nanocrystalline ceramics were investigated by using microhardness testing.
