Climate models are the primary tools used for understanding past climate variations and for future projections. The atmospheric radiation is the key component of these models. Accurate modeling of atmosphere necessitates reliable evaluation of the medium radiative properties and accurate solution of the radiative transfer equation in conjunction with the time-dependent multi-dimensional governing equations of atmospheric models. Due to difficulty in solving the equations of atmospheric and radiation models simultaneously, radiation equations have been solved when input data such as concentration, temperature etc. were made available upon solution of equations of atmospheric models. Generally, time step of conservation equations are 10-30 minutes but radiative transfer equation is called only once every 1-3 hours. However, there is inaccuracy due to the fixed radiation fluxes over the intervening time steps. To overcome this problem, the equations of atmospheric and radiation models have to be solved simultaneously and the solution methods have to be compatible.

Steam reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production using Cu-MCM41 and Ni-MCM41 type mesoporous catalytic materials
Özdoğan, Ekin; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
The world’s being alerted to the global warming danger and the depletion of fossil fuel resources, has increased the importance of the clean and renewable hydrogen energy. Bioethanol has high potential to be used as a resource of hydrogen since it is a non-petroleum feedstock and it is able to produce hydrogen rich mixture by steam reforming reactions. Discovery of mesoporous MCM-41 type high surface area silicate-structured materials with narrow pore size distributions (20-100 Å) and high surface areas (up...
Flow sheet optimization by the concept of sustainable development: alumina industry
Kurucak, Abdurrahman; Gürüz, Güniz; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
In this study, effects of changes in various parameters of the Bayer process on the amount of “red mud”, which has many environmental drawbacks, were examined in accordance with the principles of “sustainable development”. The production process of Seydişehir Aluminum Plant is modeled as a case study. First a steady-state mass balance calculation is carried out by incorporating sequential modular approach. Then a model of the Bayer process digester is programmed and several simulations are carried out using...
Sorption enhanced ethanol reforming over cobalt, nickel incorporated mcm-41 for hydrogen production
Gündüz, Seval; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011)
The interest in hydrogen as a clean energy source has increased due to depletion of limited fossil resources and environmental impact related to CO2 emissions. Hydrogen production from bio-ethanol, which already contains large amount of water, by steam reforming reaction, has shown excellent potential with CO2 neutrality. However, steam reforming of ethanol reaction is a highly complex process including many side reactions which decrease hydrogen yield and have a negative effect on process economy. Also, th...
Electrospinning of polystyrene/butly rubber blends : a parametric study
Göktaş, Ahmet; Gündüz, Güngör; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008)
Nanofibers, which have high surface area to volume ratio and better mechanical properties, are nanomaterials that both industry and scientists have started to show great attention in the last two decades. They are used in many areas such as life and filtration sciences, sensors, and composite reinforcement etc. Among five main production types, electrospinning is the best candidate for further development with a wide range of opportunities to be applied to all types of polymers and ceramics. This method use...
Superensembles of raw and bias-adjusted regional climate models for Mediterranean region, Turkey
Mesta, Buket; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2021-09-01)
For regional-scale studies on climate change and relevant impact assessment, the projections of regional climate models (RCMs) are used due to their advantage of high resolution and better representation of the local climate relative to the global climate models. However, direct use of RCM outputs is prone to uncertainties and biases that may significantly diminish the accuracy of results. EURO-COordinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX) initiative that is a part of the global Coordinated Regional ...
