One of the dilemmas of this decade seems to be the fact that the need for comfort and high-density cooling increases with global warming while global warming further increases with its resultant CO(2) emissions. This dilemma can only be solved by achieving cooling systems with smaller CO(2) footprints. This effort involves multiple fronts, namely, new, sustainable, and low-exergy cooling systems, highly efficient cooling energy supplies, novel distribution networks, and innovative energy conversion systems. All of these solutions must, however, meet at a common denominator for decision-making. In this paper, the common denominator is defined to be the Rational Exergy Management Model (REMM), which provides a robust algorithm to link the supply and demand exergy points in the cooling sector for a given district. The objective is to minimize the CO(2) footprint of the entire cooling sector in a district to guide green cities from split systems to district cooling.

Development of bifunctional catalyst for the single-step synthesis of dimethyl ether Şener, Mehmetali İlker; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019) Depletion of fossil fuels, global warming concerns and increasing CO2 emissions necessitated the utilization of syngas in the production of alternative fuels over the last few years. Dimethyl ether (DME) is considered as promising diesel substitute or LPG additive due to its high cetane number and good burning properties. The single-step DME synthesis method, which involves consecutive methanol formation and methanol dehydration reactions, enables the production of DME directly from the syngas. Despite the ...
Estimation of diffuse solar irradiation and its effects on PV power plant production at METU NCC Kavas, Genco; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-8) Excess amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is the main reason of global warming. Renewable energy systems are one possible way to decrease GHG emission and solar energy is one of options; however, fluctuations on solar energy production is one of the main drawbacks. Accurate estimation of energy production from a solar power plant, such as PV-based plant is important to satisfy energy demand successfully. To be able to estimate energy production in advance, solar energy incident on PV modules should be ...
A comprehensive review of sectorial contribution towards greenhouse gas emissions and progress in carbon capture and storage in Pakistan Hussain, Mudassar; Butt, Abdul R.; Uzma, Faiza; Ahmed, Rafay; Islam, Tahir; Yousaf, Balal (2019-08-01) The extreme amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) being released into the atmosphere has proved to be a globally challenging phenomenon that leads to changes in the climate and global warming. The amount of GHGs in the atmosphere has escalated immensely, with a substantial growth of 5.8% in 2010; a similar increase was observed in Pakistan as well. In Pakistan, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions stand at 54% of total GHG emissions whereas methane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide and volatile organic carbon contribut...
Bi-functional nanostructured novel catalysts for dimethyl ether synthesis Çelik, Gökhan; Doğu, Timur; Özbelge, H. Önder; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) Excessive use of fossil fuels shall result in the significant energy problems in the coming century and causes global warming by CO2 emission. Use of petroleum in transportation constitutes the dominant part of total petroleum use. Researches on non-petroleum based, environmentally friendly alternative fuels have been ascended in last decades. Among the alternative fuels, DME has been considered as an attractive fuel alternate due to high cetane number, low PM (particulate matter) and low NOx emission. Synt...
Assessing the impact of climate change on Mogan and Eymir Lakes' levels in Central Turkey Yagbasan, Ozlem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2012-05-01) Global warming is likely to have significant effect on the hydrological cycle. Some parts of the world may see significant reductions in precipitation or major alterations in the timing of wet and dry seasons. Climate change is one of the serious pressures facing water resources and their management over the next few years and decades. As part of the southern belt of Mediterranean Europe, Turkey is highly vulnerable to anticipated climate change impacts. The changes in global climate will seriously affect i...
