In this work, a database of 471 experimental data points excerpted from 34 different publications on electro-catalytic reduction of CO2 was formed. Firstly, the database was examined by exploratory data analysis using box and whiskers plots. Then, decision tree analysis was applied to determine the significance of the variables and to reveal the conditions leading to higher faradaic efficiency, production rate and product selectivity. It was found that Cu content smaller than 71% resulted high faradaic efficiencies depending on the amount of Sn, catholyte type, applied potential and pH of electrolyte. In this case, applied potential and Cu content were found to have the highest significance among all the input variables. On the other hand, the most generalizable combination of variables leading to high level of rate occurred when the Cu content being less than 13%, using a membrane other than Selemion AMV, employing a backing layer such as TGP-H-60 and keeping the applied potential between -1.5 and -2.6 V; for which the applied potential and CO2 flow rate were determined as the highest significant variables. Finally, the most generalizable path for the case of selectivity was obtained with Sn content higher than 15% and Cu content less than 52%, which leaded to formic acid production having the highest production rates. It was then concluded that, exploratory data analysis and decision trees can provide useful information to determine the conditions leading to higher CO2-electroreduction performance that may guide the future studies in this area.

Thermodynamic and thermoeconomic comparison of combined cycle cogeneration systems Colpan, Can O.; Yesin, Tulay (2006-01-01) In this paper, several configurations of combined cycle cogeneration systems are investigated by energy, exergy and thermoeconomic analyses. In each of these configurations, varying steam demand is considered rather than fixed steam demand. Among the different approaches for thermoeconomic analysis in the literature, the specific exergy costing method is applied. Since the systems have more than one product (process steam and electrical power), systems are divided into several sub-systems and cost balances ...
Score test for testing etiologic heterogeneity in two-stage polytomous logistic regression Karagülle, Saygın; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl; Department of Statistics (2013) Two-stage polytomous logistic regression was proposed by Chatterjee (2004) as an effective tool to analyze epidemiological data when disease subtype information is available. In this modeling approach, a classic logistic regression is employed in the first level of the model. In the second level, the first-stage regression parameters are modeled as a function of some contrast parameters in a somehow similar spirit of an ANOVA model. This modeling also enables a practical way of estimating the heterogeneity ...
Parameter optimization of chemically activated mortaars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments Aldemir, Başak; Saatçioğlu, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) This thesis illustrates parameter optimization of early and late compressive strengths of chemically activated mortars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments. Four dominant parameters in chemical activation of natural pozzolans are chosen for the research, which are natural pozzolan replacement, amount of pozzolan passing 45 æm sieve, activator dosage and activator type. Response surface methodology has been employed in statistical design and analysis of experi...
Kinetic analysis of in situ combustion processes with thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis and reaction tube experiments Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1995-01-01) This research comprises the determination of kinetic parameters of in situ combustion processes by reaction tube and thermal (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA)) experiments. A previously developed laboratory model and a Du Pont 9900 thermalanalyzer unit were used to run the experiments. Three reaction regions for combustion of crude oil in porous media were observed in the reaction tube and TGA/DTGA experiments and are defined as low temperature oxidation, fuel ...
Experimental Characterization of Micro Vortex Generators in Low Speed Flows Akpolat, Tuğrul; Abdulrahim, Anas; Hassanein, Abdelrahman; Uzol, Oğuz; Perçin, Mustafa (2021-09-08) In this study, we present the experimental results of the characterization of micro-ramp type Micro Vortex Generators (MVGs) in low-speed flows. The undisturbed boundary layer profile was measured by means of Hot-Wire Anemometry. Two MVGs with the same design but different height-to-boundary layer thickness ratios are used in this study. Two-dimensional twocomponent particle image velocimetry measurements are conducted in the wake of the MVGs. The results reveal the lift-off of the wake away from the wall f...
