Özet

In this study, combustion and pyrolysis behavior of diesel and canola oil is investigated using thermal analysis techniques known as thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates. Reaction regions, peak temperatures, mass loss, heat flow rates, ignition temperatures, and specific heat of diesel and canola oil samples are determined using TG-DTG and DSC data. It was observed that as the heating rate of the reactions increased, peak temperatures of the reactions shift higher; implying that as the heating rate of the reactions increases the reactions lose their sensitivity. Five different kinetic methods were applied to determine combustion reaction parameters of the reactions. It was observed that averages of the activation energies of the samples are in the order of canola oil and diesel for different heating rates.
