Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Adsorption Kinetics of Methane Reformer Off-Gases on Aluminum Based Metal-Organic Framework(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Angı, Deniz; Çakıcıoğlu Özkan, Seher FehimeSolvothermal synthesis of aluminum based metal-organic frameworks (MIL-53(Al)s) were conducted by considering the effects of crystallization and activation temperatures, and the solvent at purification step. Adsorption kinetics of Steam Methane Reformer off gas components at 34, 70 and 100 °C temperatures was measured by using ZLC method. Henry constant decreases as diffusion coefficient of the gases increases with increasing temperature; It was determined that the CO gas has the highest activation energy. Adsorption kinetics of gases were controlled with electrostatic interaction. © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLCArticle Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Oxidation of Nanocrystalline Aluminum by Variable Charge Molecular Dynamics(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Perron, A.; Garruchet, S.; Politano, O.; Aral, Gürcan; Vignal, V.We investigate the oxidation of nanocrystalline aluminum surfaces using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with the variable charge model that allows charge dynamically transfer among atoms. The interaction potential between atoms is described by the electrostatic plus (Es+) potential model, which is composed of an embedded atom method potential and an electrostatic term. The simulations were performed from 300 to 750 K on polycrystalline samples with a mean grain size of 5 nanometers. We mainly focused on the effect of the temperature parameter on the oxidation kinetic. The results show that, beyond a first linear regime, the kinetics follows a direct logarithmic law (governed by diffusion process) and tends to a limiting value corresponding to a thickness of similar to 3 nm. We also characterized at 600 K the effects of an external applied strain on the microstructure and the chemical composition of oxide films formed at the surface. In particular, we obtained a partially crystalline oxide films for all temperatures and we noticed a strong correlation between the degree of crystallinity of the oxide film and the oxidation temperature.

Under the experimental conditions (carrier gas velocities and adsorption temperatures) the micropore diffusion resistance was found to be the mass transfer controlling step. Matching the first moment of the response peaks to the mathematical model the Henry's Law constants and heat of adsorption at zero loading were determined. The axial dispersion, external film, macropore and micropore diffusion coefficients, and activation energy for diffusion of NO in the micropores were calculated from the analysis of the second moments of the response peaks. For successive NO pulses without regeneration between the pulses, the retention times of the response peaks decreased and peak areas increased with the injection number indicating irreversible adsorption. The reversibly adsorbed NO could be desorbed by purging with an inert gas at the adsorption pressure and temperature. Temperature programmed desorption profile obtained by heating the NO saturated adsorbent to 400 °C under inert flow revealed presence of multiple irreversibly adsorbed species in NZ with different thermal stabilities. Desorption of these species was not achieved during the heating up to 400 °C which makes the natural zeolitic materıal suitable for NO storage rather than for cyclic adsorptive separation processes.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Visualization of Diffusion and Convection Heat Transport in a Square Cavity With Natural Convection(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Mobedi, Moghtada; Özkol, Ünver; Sunden, BengtIn this study, the total heatfunction equation which includes diffusion and convection transport is divided into the corresponding heatfunction equations. The superposition rule is used to obtain the mathematical definitions of diffusion and convection heatfunctions and corresponding boundary conditions. It is observed that the separate visualization of diffusion and convection heatlines provides significant information on understanding of the mechanism of heat transfer in a convective flow. The direction of the diffusion and convection heat transport as well as the strength of convection compared to the conduction in entire or in a portion of a domain can be visualized. The diffusion heatlines demonstrate a potential flow like behavior while convective heat flow rotates due to the source term of the convection heatfunction equation, similar to the rotation of fluid flow generated by fluid flow vorticity. The similarity between the streamfunction and the total heatfunction yields a concept of heat flow vorticity, Ωt. The obtained results show that the maximum absolute value of the convection heatfunction may be an appropriate parameter for determination of the convection strength. The diffusion and convection heatfunction equations for natural convection in a differentially heated square cavity for four different length of the heated surface on the right vertical wall as sp = L/4, L/2, 3L/4 and L and a fixed length of the cooled surface on the right vertical wall as L/4 are obtained and corresponding heatlines are drawn. The values of the conduction heatfunction are positive while the sign of convection heatfunction values is negative for the studied cases. Based on the distribution of total heatlines, two regions are detected in the cavity, an active region with the positive values of heatlines signifying dominant conduction heat transfer and a passive region with the negative heatfunction values in where convection heat flow is dominant and heat only rotates in a closed contour pattern. The variations of average Nusselt number, average of heat flow vorticity, maximum absolute values of convection heatfunction and streamfunction at different Rayleigh numbers and lengths of the heated surface are presented.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Predicting Emission Characteristics of Volatile Organic Compounds From Wet Surface Coatings(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideA mathematical model is developed to describe the emission characteristics of VOCs from homogeneous wet coating materials deposited on impermeable substrates. The model considers mass transfer in the material and in air, boundary layer resistance and the change in the coating thickness with time due to emission of VOC. Key features of the model are incorporation of concentration dependent VOC diffusion coefficients predicted from a physical model and nonlinear equilibrium isotherm at the coating/air interface. The model is applied to predict emission characteristics of MMA from acrylic based surface coatings. In an attempt to investigate the influences of equilibrium isotherm type and diffusion formalism on the predictions, simulations are performed with either constant or concentration dependent diffusivities and linear or nonlinear equilibrium isotherms. The lowest MMA concentration in air is predicted by incorporating the concentration dependent diffusivity and nonlinear equilibrium isotherm. The results suggest that assuming the diffusivity of MMA constant or equilibrium isotherm linear may lead to wrong conclusions about the emission rates from wet coatings. The model is general, fully predictive and can be used to predict emission rates of different VOCs from different coating materials if diffusion and thermodynamic parameters are available.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Solvent Sorption in a Polymer-Solvent System - Importance of Swelling and Heat Effects(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Ramesh, Narayan; Duda, John LarrySorption experiments are often conducted in gravimetric sorption columns where several deviations from ideal conditions could potentially occur. For example, heat effects due to solvent sorption, errors introduced due to concentration dependent diffusion coefficients and swelling are unavoidable. In this study, we develop a model to study the importance of the combination of these effects in obtaining diffusion coefficients from sorption experiments. The model is used to explore a wide range of operating conditions and physical parameters.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Errors Associated With Swelling in the Analysis of Polymer-Solvent Diffusion Measurements(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideSorption curves are generated from a mathematical model which includes the influence of the polymer swelling for unsteady-state sorption of a vapor or liquid by a polymer. To investigate the simultaneous effects of the specific volumes of the polymer-penetrant pair and the difference between the final and initial equilibrium concentrations on the sorption curves, statistical experimental design approach is used. Simulation results obtained from the numerical solution of model equations are utilized to estimate the error that would occur if one simply evaluates the diffusion coefficient using the traditional formulas derived from the analytical solution of the sorption equation. An empirical expression is developed that describes the effects of the difference between the final and initial equilibrium concentrations and the specific volumes of the polymer and the penetrant on the magnitude of error in diffusivity associated with the use of one of these traditional formulas so called the initial slope method. The predictive ability of the regression model is tested by performing additional simulations not used in the regression analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 29Thermal Stability of the High-N Solid-Solution Layer on Stainless Steel(Elsevier Ltd., 2002) Öztürk, Orhan; Williamson, Don L.Low-energy, high-flux N ion implantation into austenitic stainless steel held at approximately 400 °C results in dramatic improvements in the tribological properties due to sufficiently large N layer thicknesses and high-N-content solid solution phase. γN. In this paper, post-ion beam processing via isothermal annealing of a low-energy (0.7 keV), high-flux (2.5 mA/cm2) N implanted fee 304 stainless steel held at 400 °C has been investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Post-implantation annealing at 400 °C demonstrated the metastability and showed that the magnetic γN produced at lower ion energies and higher fluxes transformed systematically to a paramagnetic γN phase with less N content and less lattice expansion, thereby destabilizing the magnetic state of γN. The isothermal annealing results in much thicker γN layers but with less N in solid solution due to the N diffusion into the substrate. Based on the XRD data, the N diffusivity under isothermal annealing conditions is found to be D = 2X10-13 cm2/s at 400 °C, consistent with a model which explains that the trapping by Cr atoms in the stainless steel becomes more effective when N contents are low relative to the Cr concentration ( ~ 19 at.% in 304 stainless steel).
