pH control of a neutralization system for wastewater, where the input waste stream has variable properties in terms of acid concentration and flow rate, is investigated with different control algorithms utilizing an online identification technique. Performances of the designed controllers (model predictive (MPC), fuzzy logic (FLC), and conventional PI controller) are tested and compared mainly for disturbance rejection, set-point tracking, and robustness issues theoretically and experimentally on a laboratory-scale pH neutralization system. Additional experiments are done with original wastewater samples taken from an electronic-circuits manufacturing plant. All controllers' performances are found to be close, while adaptive MPC can be considered better compared to others due its constraint handling capabilities and FLC can be preferred because it can be used without an identification step.

Optimization and field application of a filter pack system for the simultaneous sampling of atmospheric HNO3, NH3 and SO2 Karakas, D; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (1997-06-01) Optimization and field application of a filter pack system for the simultaneous collection of atmospheric gas-phase HNO3, NH3 and SO2 have been studied. A Teflon prefilter was used to remove particulate matter. Nylon filter, oxalic-acid-treated Whatman 41 filter and sodium-carbonate-treated Whatman 41 filter were used for the collection of HNO3, NH3 and SO2, respectively. For the collection of gas-phase HNO3, nylon filters had better efficiency and capacity as compared to NaCl-impregnated Whatman 41 filters...
Flow investigation in a channel reactor using chemically reacting boundary layer equations Kenar, Doğu Hazar; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2023-1-13) In this study, an algorithm for the solution of chemically reacting flows in a channel reactor is developed by using boundary layer equations. The governing flow equations are simplified under certain assumptions with the application of similarity transformation. As a consequence of simplification, the characteristics of flow equations are changed to parabolic partial differential equations (PDE). Parabolic PDEs can be solved by numerical techniques initially designed for ordinary differential equations (OD...
Numerical simulation of groundwater contamination Ger, M; Baran, Özgür Uğraş; Irfanoglu, B (2000-06-14) In this study, the finite difference modeling technique is used to develop a simulation program that can be used for groundwater contamination problems. The simulation program is written in C++ programming language and runs on personal computers using Windows 95. The simulation program supplies an interactive user interface containing useful tools for pre-processing and postprocessing the data. Numerical models are capable of simulating two-dimensional areal aquifer systems with various conditions. Finite d...
Electrochemical behaviour and electrochemical polymerization of fluoro-substituted anilines Cihaner, A; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2002-08-01) The electrochemical behaviour of three fluoro-substituted aniline monomers, 2-fluoroaniline (2FAN), 3-fluoroaniline (3FAN) and 4-fluoroaniline (4FAN), was investigated in aqueous acidic and organic media by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies. Constant potential electrolysis (CPE) of the monomers in acetonitrile-water mixture (1: 1 by volume) using NaClO4 as supporting electrolyte yielded soluble polymers. The mechanism of electrochemical polymerization was investigated using in situ electron spin reso...
Thermal characterization of dolomites Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2001-01-01) The decomposition behaviour of dolomite samples has been carried out by simultaneous DTA-TG experiments. Dolomite samples could be classified broadly into two categories as regular and iron-bearing dolomites based on DTA decomposition temperatures. The mass% FeO of all the dolomite samples was identified by DTA and the results are confirmed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer experiments.
