Investigation of Turkey's carbon dioxide problem by numerical modeling
Can, Ali; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2006)
CO2 emission is very important, because it is responsible for about 60% of the "Greenhouse Effect". The major objectives of this study were to prepare a CO2 emission inventory of Turkey based on districts and provinces by using the fuel consumption data with respect to its sources, to find the CO2 uptake rate of forests in Turkey based on provinces and districts, and to estimate the ground level concentration of CO2 across Turkey using U.S. EPA's ISCLT3 model for the preparation of ground level concentratio...
Air quality impacts of electricity use in domestic heating: A comparative study for Ankara
Kayin, S; Yavuzdemir, F (1997-09-26)
In this study, existing air quality affects of current domestic heating systems in comparison to the electricity use alternative in Ankara have been analysed. For the winter season 1991-1992 heat energy used in Ankara for domestic heating has been calculated. For the hypothetical case of electricity use instead of the current domestic heating systems in the city, Industrial Source Complex - Short Term dispersion model has been used for six site alternatives and for two different thermal power plant technolo...
Air pollution forecasting in Ankara, Turkey using air pollution index and its relation to assimilative capacity of the atmosphere
genç, Deniz; Yesilyurt, Canan; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2010-07-01)
Spatial and temporal variations in concentrations of CO, NO, NO2, SO2, and PM10, measured between 1999 and 2000, at traffic-impacted and residential stations in Ankara were investigated. Air quality in residential areas was found to be influenced by traffic activities in the city. Pollutant ratios were proven to be reliable tracers to differentiate between different sources. Air pollution index (API) of the whole city was calculated to evaluate the level of air quality in Ankara. Multiple linear regression ...
The effects of promoters on the sulfur resistance of nox storage/reduction catalysts : a density functional theory investigation
Koşak, Rukan; Toffoli, Daniele; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Chemistry (2011)
High fossil fuel consumption in transportation and industry results in an increase of the emission of green-house gases. To preserve clean air, new strategies are required. The main intention is to decrease the amount of CO2 emission by using lean-burn engines while increasing the combustion efficiency and decreasing the fuel consumption. However, the lean-burn engines have high air-to-fuel ratio which complicates the reduction of the oxides of nitrogen, NOx . The emission of these highly noxious pollutants...
