This paper is based on the pollution inventory study titled 'Preparation of Envision Inventories in Environmentally Sensitive Zones-Ankara Subproject'. The study covers the area of Greater City Ankara. As a result of the inventory studies main sources of air pollution have been identified and the pollution load of Ankara atmosphere has been calculated. In this study the level S02 concentrations in Ankara has been calculated by using ISCST dispersion model. The 596 grids defined in an area of 52kmx42km are accepted as receptor grids and the contribution of each area source on itself and other areas have been calculated. The highest average S02 concentration countour obtained during the writer months is 337 ggIM3 (6 month average), However, for yearly average the highest concentration counter is found to be at 152 IIg,M3.

Ambient VOC concentrations in the city of Balikesir and its environment Yalçın, Giyasettin Efdal; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2013) The assessment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become an important field of interest in atmospheric pollution. This study quantifies and characterizes the ambient levels and spatial distribution of VOCs in urban and rural areas of Balıkesir. In addition, for the city drinking water dam excess flux from the traffic estimation was done. For these assessments passive sampling of VOCs performed at approximately 50 locations in and around the city of Balıkesir and analyzed with GC-FID system. Tenax TA w...
Thermal radiation transport in a fluidized dry water system Taylan, Onur; Berberoglu, Halil (2013-05-01) This paper reports a numerical study on thermal radiation transport in a novel material called dry water. Dry water is a water-in-air inverse foam which consists of micrometer-sized water droplets encapsulated by hydrophobic fumed-silica nanoparticles. First, the size distribution of dry water was measured using a particle size analyzer. Then, the radiation characteristics of dry water were obtained using the Mie theory for coated spheres. One-dimensional, steady radiative transport in fluidized dry water s...
Potential sources and measured concentrations of VOCs in Balikesir ambient atmosphere Yalcin, Efdal; TECER, LOKMAN HAKAN; YURDAKUL, Sema; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2020-07-01) The assessment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become an important field of interest in atmospheric pollution. This study quantifies and characterizes the ambient levels and spatial distribution of VOCs in urban and rural areas of Balikesir city, Turkey. For these assessments, passive sampling of VOCs performed at approximately 50 locations in and around the city of Balikesir. Twenty-five VOCs were regularly monitored and analyzed with the GC-FID system. The sampling periods were carried out for se...
Fossil fuel sustainability index: An application of resource management Ediger, Volkan S.; Hosgor, Enes; Surmeli, A. Nesen; Tatlidil, Huseyin (2007-05-01) A brief review on use of fossil fuel resources and sustainability is given in this paper. A sustainability index for fossil fuels is developed, which aims to determine the most efficient management of fossil fuel resources for the energy system. The study is conducted for 62 countries, in the presence of independence, lifetime and environmental constraints. The effect of these indicators are then integrated into a single index for oil, natural gas, and coal. Two approaches have been taken. The first one emp...
Coal pyrolysis: Thermogravimetric study and kinetic analysis Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2003-10-01) This research comprises the coal pyrolysis by thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). During the pyrolysis of the coal samples studied, gradual and continuous weight loss over the entire temperature range was observed. The weight loss below 210degreesC is related to the removal of moisture. The subsequent pyrolysis process as revealed by the corresponding DTG peak that is related to primary devolatilization, during which carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen compounds are released. Arrhenius-type kinetic model was used to determ...
