Environmental pollution is an important problem of our world. Governments are aware of this problem and emission regulations are continuously improved. One of the strictest regulations is about unburned and burned hydrocarbon emissions. In internal combustion engines the origin of the burned and unburned hydrocarbons is fuel and engine oil. As a result of the sanctions and the necessity of improved combustion performance of the engine, manufacturers work on manufacturing technology and engine tribology. With the improvement of these areas oil loss from internal combustion engine is reduced. Engine oil consumption mechanisms are specific research areas in the internal combustion engine development. Oil consumption occurs via to two main routes: “Valve train” and “in cylinder components”. In cylinder components have three sub mechanisms: evaporation, ring scraping and blowback. In this thesis, blowback oil loss mechanism is studied. 2D flow model of piston-cylinder mechanism is developed in Fluent. Land pressures and ring end gap flow data are taken from this model. An iterative computer program is developed to calculate backflow oil consumption. In this program, an empirical entrainment correlation compiled from literature is used. The calculated oil consumption values match with the range of the values in the literature.

Identification and Elucidation of the Designing and Operational Issues of Trickling Filter Systems for Wastewater Treatment
Ali, Imran; Khan, Zahid M.; Peng, Changsheng; Naz, Iffat; Sultan, Muhammad; Ali, Mohsin; Mahmood, Muhammad H.; Niaz, Yasir (2017-01-01)
Water pollution has become a major environmental concern for public and environmental health in developing countries. Water resources are being contaminated mainly due to mixing of domestic, municipal, and industrial wastewaters. The wastewater management and treatment situation is deplorable mainly because of financial constraints, the unavailability of technically trained human resources, and electricity shortages. Moreover, there is a challenge for the scientific community and wastewater management exper...
Evaluating the use of satellite-based precipitation estimates for discharge estimation in ungauged basins
Soytekin, Arzu; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
For the process of social and economic development, hydropower energy has an important role such as being renewable, clean, and having less impact on the environment. In decision of the hydropower potential of a study area, the preliminary condition is the availability of the gages in the area. However, in Turkey, the gages in working order are limited and getting decreased in recent years. Therefore, the satellite based precipitation estimates has been gaining importance to predict runoff for ungauged basi...
An investigation on wind energy potential and small scale wind turbine performance at Incek region - Ankara, Turkey
Bilir, Levent; İmir, Mehmet; Devrim, Yilser; Albostan, Ayhan (2015-10-01)
Renewable energy resources increased their importance in the last decades due to environmental pollution problems. Additionally, the fact that fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas will be depleted in near future encourages researchers to make investigations on alternative energy resources. Wind energy, which is one of the most used alternative resources, has a great potential. In this study, Weibull parameters at Incek region of Ankara (the capital city of Turkey), where /intim University campus ...
Numerical modeling and performance analysis of solar-powered ideal adsorption cooling systems
Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
Energy consumption is continuously increasing around the world and this situation yields research to find sustainable energy solutions. Demand for cooling is one of the reasons of increasing energy demand. This research is focused on one of the sustainable ways to decrease energy demand for cooling which is the solar-powered adsorption cooling system. In this study, general theoretical performance trends of a solar-powered adsorption cooling system are investigated using TRNSYS and MATLAB. Effects of differ...
Development of a glutathione-S-transferase-based biosensor for the detection of heavy metals
Saatçi, Ebru; İşcan, Mesude; Department of Biochemistry (2005)
In the recent years, environmental pollution becomes a health threatening issue for human beings. Technological developments introduce industrial wastes and heavy metals, and developments in agriculture introduce pesticides into the world that we live. All these toxic wastes accumulate in drinking water and food consumed by humans. Therefore, detection of toxic wastes in all kinds of environmental samples, and development of new detection techniques become an important issue. In this study, development of a...
