Investigation of fuel values and combustion characteristics of RDF samples
Sever Akdağ, Ayşe; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is an unavoidable by-product of human activities. The generation of MSW tends to increase with the growing population and the economic development of the society. Landfilling is one of the most common disposal methods for MSW in the world. However, there are numerous disadvantages of landfills including the potential to create air, soil and water pollution. Also, many valuable resources are wasted when waste is landfilled. Furthermore, many countries have established rules to lim...
Exact solutions and the consistency of 3D minimal massive gravity
Altas, Emel; Tekin, Bayram (2015-07-20)
We show that all algebraic type-O, type-N and type-D and some Kundt-type solutions of topologically massive gravity are inherited by its holographically well-defined deformation, that is, the recently found minimal massive gravity. This construction provides a large class of constant scalar curvature solutions to the theory. We also study the consistency of the field equations both in the source-free and matter-coupled cases. Since the field equations of MMG do not come from a Lagrangian that depends on the...
Recycling rubble into aggregates: a model for local governments
Elias-Ozkan, ST (2001-12-01)
Old buildings are being demolished to make way for newer and taller ones almost everywhere; Turkey is no exception. New zoning bye-laws and legitimization of squatter settlements has led to the demolition of many old and sometimes historically significant buildings. To assess the situation in Turkey, it's capital city Ankara was chosen as the study area and data pertaining to rubble disposal was collected from one of it's eight municipalities. This data was then analysed with the help of statistical tools t...
Route optimization for solid waste transportation using parallel hybrid genetic algorithms
Uşkay, Selim Onur; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010)
The transportation phase of solid waste management is highly critical as it may constitute approximately 60 to 75 percent of the total cost. Therefore, even a small amount of improvement in the collection operation can result in a significant saving in the overall cost. Despite the fact that there exist a considerable amount of studies on Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), a vast majority of the existing studies are not integrated with GIS and hence they do not consider the path constraints of real road network...
Investigation of adsorption of pesticides by organo-zeolite from wastewater
Lüle, Güzide Meltem; Atalay, M Ümit; Özbayoğlu, Gülhan; Department of Mining Engineering (2011)
The aim of this study was to determine the adsorption capacity of activated carbon and organo-zeolites for removal of pesticides in water. In order to prepare organo-zeolite, two kinds of cationic surfactants, namely, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB) and dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) were used. Adsorption studies of cationic surfactant on zeolite were investigated in respect to initial concentration of cationic surfactant, time, and temperature. It has been found that the best fitted is...
