The large presence of aromatic compounds in distillate fossil fuels should allow, in line of principle, to follow the fuel consumption and/or the presence of unburned fuel in a high temperature environment like a burner or the exhaust of combustion systems by exploiting the high fluorescence emission of aromatic fuel components. To this aim an UV-excited fluorescence source has to be used since the aromatic fuel components are strongly fluorescing in the UV region of the emission spectrum.

Investigation of SO2 removal characteristics with limestone under oxycombustion conditions Avşaroğlu, Sevil; Sanin, F. Dilek.; Department of Environmental Engineering (2019) One of the technologies to increase combustion efficiency and decrease CO2 and other emissions is Oxy-Fuel Combustion. Combustion efficiency is higher and emissions are lower when the oxygen concentration of air is higher. In this thesis different characteristics of two indigenous Turkish lignites are investigated by Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Pyrolysis is carried out under both N2 and CO2 atmospheres and combustion characteristics is also examined. CO2 acts as an inert gas at lower temperatures. T...
Development of anodes for direct oxidation of methane fuel in solid oxide fuel cells Akdeniz, Yelda; Timurkutluk, Bora; Timurkutluk, Cigdem (2016-06-22) In addition to pure hydrogen, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can utilize hydrocarbons as a fuel. However, conventional Ni-based anodes exhibit an excellent catalytic activity towards the hydrocarbon cracking reaction and thus the carbon deposition occurs in the anode. The deposited carbons quickly deactivate the anode irreversibly by covering the active surface of the anode catalyst. As a result, a significant degradation in the cell performance can be seen. In this study, the anode structure is modified by...
Modeling the effect of SCR denox unit on diesel engine performance Pelen, Pelsu; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020) The design of the internal combustion engines and the aftertreatment systems cannot be considered independently since imposing an aftertreatment equipment into the exhaust system brings extra backpressure which in turn decreases the engine efficiency and increases the fuel consumption and CO2 emission. In the present study, the existing 3D monolith reactor model in COMSOL Multiphysics® applications is modified to account for an SCR deNOx unit having 600 cpsi cell density by using exhaust mass flow rate and ...
Study of water-oil emulsion combustion in large pilot power plants for fine particle matter emission reduction Allouis, Christophe Gerard; L'Insalata, A.; Fortunato, L.; Saponaro, A.; Beretta, F. (2007-04-01) The combustion of heavy fuel oil for power generation is a great source of carbonaceous and inorganic particle emissions, even though the combustion technologies and their efficiency are improving. The information about the size distribution function of the particles originated by trace metals present into the fuels is not adequate. In this paper, we focused our attention the influence of emulsion oil-water on the larger distribution mode of both the carbonaceous and metallic particles. Isokinetic sampling ...
Analysis of material collected on particles exposed to volatile matter of bituminous coal in a fluidized bed Vural, H (1997-05-01) The activity of fluidized bed particles towards the volatile matter of a bituminous coal was analysed by measurement of tar yield and the direct measurement of CO2 concentration in the exhaust gas from the devolatilization of bituminous coal particles in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor. In a third approach, thermogravimetric analysis (t.g.a.) of the fluidizing particles was performed, indicating that calcium-containing particles exhibited the largest weight loss. In a fourth approach, a mass spectr...
