Five primary energy consumer classes, namely Super, Major, Big, Medium and Small, are proposed, depending on the polymodal characteristics of the frequency distribution curve of their share of the total. The total primary energy consumption and its annual additions decrease, whereas the rates increase steadily from the Super to the Medium consumers. Since the frequency distribution histogram of additional primary energy consumptions of the Medium and above consumers during 1980-1999 is a typical bell shaped curve, the additional amounts and rates are used together to evaluate the performance levels of the countries in both parameters. The most successful countries are the USA, China, South Korea, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Turkey and Iran. The reason why the Super consumer USA and the Major consumer China are the biggest energy markets is because they are the first two biggest economies in the world. The success of the developing Asian countries is mostly related to their economic ties with the Super consumer USA. Among the other emerging markets, Turkey's primary energy demand has grown more rapidly than that of Iran and is expected to continue growing in the future. The emerging Medium and Big consumer markets will continue to play a significant role in the world's energy sector during the first two decades of the 21st century.

Energetic, exergetic and thermoeconomic analysis of Bilkent combined cycle cogeneration plant Colpan, C. Ozgur; Yesin, Tulay (Wiley, 2006-09-01) This paper is a case study of thermodynamics and economics related analyses applied to an existing gas/steam combined cycle cogeneration plant. Basic thermodynamic properties of the plant are determined by energy analysis utilizing main operation conditions. Exergy destructions within the plant and exergy losses to environment are investigated to determine thermodynamic inefficiencies and to assist for guiding future improvements in the plant. Cost balances and auxiliary equations are applied to several sub...
Computation of instantaneous fuel consumption for the determination of combustion efficiency with special reference to coal briquette size Altun, Naci Emre; Bagci, AS (Informa UK Limited, 2006-04-01) This study comprises of the computation of instantaneous fuel consumptions as a straight means for the interpretation of combustion-related characteristics of coal. The model relies on the determination of the extent of combustion by the calculated fuel combustion amounts at specific instants in order to examine the oxidation behavior and possible influences governed by any variable of interest. In this context, coal briquettes prepared by varying dimensions with and without a volume constraint were evaluat...
Investigation of Porosity and Permeability Impairment in Sandstones by X-ray Analysis and Simulation Iscan, A. G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Civan, F. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Both porosity and permeability constitute the major parameters in core analysis. In this study, the variation of these two parameters along a sandstone core sample was investigated during formation damage. A water-based drilling fluid was dynamically circulated through the core sample for three different time intervals of 15 min, 45 min, and 60 min at 100 psi circulation pressure. The core sample was analyzed using x-ray digital radiography by sectional image approach. The differences in the porous media du...
Reserve estimation using geostatistics Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) Application of geostatistics are being increasingly considered by reservoir analysts and engineers in generating more accurate reservoir models together with usable measures of spatial uncertainty. Geostatistics provides a probabilistic framework and a toolbox for data analysis with early integration of information. In this research, hydrocarbon volume of afield is estimated considering different parameters as gross rock volume, net to gross rock thickness, porosity, permeability, and saturation. Therefore,...
Effects of membrane electrode assembly components on proton exchange membrane fuel cell performance Bayrakceken, Ayse; Erkan, Serdar; Turker, Lemi; Eroğlu, İnci (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) The objective of this study is to determine the effects of various factors on the performance of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. These factors are membrane thickness, hot-pressing conditions of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) either onto the membrane or membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and Teflon:carbon ratio in the GDL on PEM fuel cell performance. Homemade five-layer and commercial three-layer MEAs were used in the experiments. Nafion (R) 112 and 115 which have nominal thicknesses of 50 and 125 m...
