The Tenth Mediterranean Combustion Symposium, jointly co-sponsored by the Combustion Institute and the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer was held in Naples, Italy in September 17–21, 2017. It was built on the success of nine previous meetings held in Antalya, Turkey, in June 1999, in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in January 2002, in Marrakech, Morocco, in June 2003, in Lisbon, Portugal, in October 2005, in Monastir, Tunisia, in September 2007, in Corsica, France, in June 2009, in Sardinia, in September 2011, in Çeşme, Izmir, Turkey, in September 2013 and in Rhodes, Greece, June 2015. As before, the objective of the symposium was to give combustion scientists, engineers and students from Mediterranean as well as from other countries, an opportunity to get together for the dissemination of the international state-of-the-art and recent advances in the field and to enhance future collaborative research activities between scientists from different countries of the region. About 280 scientists from all over the world participated in the meeting. The program included 8 keynotes and 1 plenary on a range of important and current topics, 5 parallel sessions for oral presentation and a poster session. The invited lectures were delivered by well-known experts in the field (H. Bockhorn, R. Kneer, T. Faravelli, W. Roberts, X.-S. Bai, P. Desgroux, F. Biagioli, F. Rubiera, C. Hasse). The sessions were performed on the following colloquia topics: Reaction Kinetics and Reduced Mechanisms; Pollutant Formation and Control; Combustion Diagnostics; Turbulent Combustion; Heterogeneous Combustion and Pyrolysis; Stationary Combustion Systems and Environmental Impact; Fire and Explosions; Engine, Gas Turbine and Spray Combustion; CO2 Capture Processes and New Concepts; Laminar Flames. 171 contributed papers and 43 posters were presented together with 9 invited lectures. All papers were reviewed on full manuscripts by colloquia co-chairs, advisory board members and external reviewers. Invited lectures, accepted contributed papers and abstracts of poster papers were collected together on a USB drive. This special issue of Fuel is the first devoted to the Mediterranean Combustion Symposium and contains papers selected on the basis of quality reported by the reviewers in respect of the aims and scope of the Journal.

Ninth Mediterranean Combustion Symposium PREFACE
Selçuk, Nevin; Mansour, Mohy S.; D'Anna, Andrea (2016-01-01)
The Ninth Mediterranean Combustion Symposium, jointly co-sponsored by the Combustion Institute and the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer, was held in Rhodes, Greece, in June 2015. It was built on the success of eight previous meetings held in Antalya, Turkey in June 1999, in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in January 2002, in Marrakech, Morocco in June 2003, in Lisbon, Portugal in October 2005, in Monastir, Tunisia in eptember 2007, in Corsica, France in June 2009, in Sardinia, Italy in September 2011,...
Solar energy R&D, technology and economics in Turkey
Taşdemiroğlu, E (Elsevier BV, 1990-1)
The solar energy potential of Turkey is assessed. Solar energy R&D programs and technology and the present market for flat-plate solar collectors are briefly reviewed. The potential share of solar energy in the total energy budget is estimated.
Preliminary results of the alignment and Hartmann tests of the AZT-22 telescope

The AZT-22 telescope installed in Turkey (Antalia) was aligned and tested on stars by the Hartmann method. The rms normal deviation of an equivalent optical system is 0.040 +/- 0.016 mum. The circle of confusion is 0.40 +/- 0.04 arcsec in diameter at a 50% energy level. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
Operation of a multistory solar building under adverse climatic conditions
Taşdemiroğlu, E (Elsevier BV, 1990-1)
Architectural, urban, thermal, economic and industrial aspects of a multistory solar building have been investigated when operating under adverse climatic conditions in Turkey. Active, passive and hybrid space heating systems which could be adapted to the building structure have been studied comparatively. The magnitudes of the design elements and the technical-economic results of the selected hybrid system have been determined. A domestic hot water installation has been also described
Shape Optimization of Reentry Vehicles to Minimize Heat Loading
Eyi, Sinan; Boyd, I D (2019-01-06)
The objective of the current study is to design an optimum reentry vehicle shape that minimizes heat loading subject to constraints on the maximum values of surface heat flux and temperature. A new heat loading formulation is developed for objective function evaluations. Axisymmetric Navier-Stokes and finite-rate chemical reaction equations are solved to evaluate the objective and constraint functions. The Menter SST turbulence model is employed for turbulence closure. A gradient-based method is used for op...
