The Biomass represents an alternative and a relevant solution for using less fossil energy while presenting the environment. Therefore, the performance of the rapeseed oil as a fuel has been investigated in a 100 kW pre-pilot plant and the results have been compared with those obtained with light and heavy petroleum fuel oils. In particular, carbonaceous particles and PAH formation along the three spray flame axes have been studied by optical (Laser Light Scattering) and gas-solid sampling techniques. Additional measurements of the local value of the extinction coefficient compared to the scattering information made it possible to distinguish between soot particles and cenospheres, The kinetics of formation and burnout of the particulate matter identified in terms of number concentration of soot particles and cenospheres, have been evaluated. Moreover the results have shown that the rapeseed oil flame is less polluting than fossil oil flames.

Smart Solar Micro-grid Using ZigBee and Related Security Challenges Qadir, Zakria; Tafadzwa, Vincent; Rashid, Haroon; Batunlu, Canras (2018-11-02) Renewable energy is needed to preserve a sustainable environment. One particular form of renewable energy (solar energy) is one of the most important and cost-effective solutions to the energy crisis. In this study, efficient solar energy management using ZigBee technology shall he discussed. The system informs the user when solar panels produce excess power before supplying it to the surrounding users, thus making the supplier a prosumer instead of a consumer. GSM which is used to monitor energy usage over...
Sorption enhanced reforming of ethanol over novel catalysts and microwave reactor application Sarıyer, Merve; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2018) Environmental concerns and fast depletion of fossil fuel resources increased the research activities for the production of hydrogen from renewable sources. Hydrogen production through ethanol steam reforming reaction (SRE) has the potential to be used for its on board production on vehicles and with the sorption enhanced process (SESRE), use of CaO for in-situ removal of produced CO2 increases hydrogen production, decreasing the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide amount. In this study nickel impregnated SBA...
Sorption enhanced ethanol reforming over cobalt, nickel incorporated mcm-41 for hydrogen production Gündüz, Seval; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) The interest in hydrogen as a clean energy source has increased due to depletion of limited fossil resources and environmental impact related to CO2 emissions. Hydrogen production from bio-ethanol, which already contains large amount of water, by steam reforming reaction, has shown excellent potential with CO2 neutrality. However, steam reforming of ethanol reaction is a highly complex process including many side reactions which decrease hydrogen yield and have a negative effect on process economy. Also, th...
Evaluation indicators for selection of sustainable building materials Canarslan, Özgecan; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2007) Environmental issues have gained importance due to global environmental threat, such as depletion of energy resources and the impacts of climate change. The building sector is responsible for almost half of the impacts on the environment. Hence, this study focuses on the importance of environmental impacts of building materials. In this regard, firstly, sustainability indicators for building materials were determined and the environmental impacts of selected building materials were studied. Then, the evalua...
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol over supported copper and gallium based catalysts at the atmospheric pressure Osmanağa, Sezer; İpek Torun, Bahar; Önal, Işık; Department of Chemical Engineering (2022-8) The continuous increase of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has been negatively impacting the environment, due to its contribution in the global warming. Hence, it is necessary for the current CO2 valorization techniques to advance in order to make use of CO2. A possible technique is the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and DME. The process of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has been taking place in industry for about a century. However, due to the thermodynamic limitation imposed by the reaction stoichio...
