    8th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE) -- JUL 22-25, 2017 -- Prague, CZECH REPUBLICWOS: 000427156200079In this study, NOx emissions of typical flights at two domestic round trip routes (206-271 NM and 625-740NM) are quantified. The flight and engine parameters were obtained from actual flight data records, whereas the emission index of sea level NOx was obtained from the emission database of the International Civil Aviation Organization for a specific type of engine. Using the Boeing Fuel Flow Method 2 for altitude correction, the total flight NOx emissions are found to be on average 66.2 kg for short and 152.2 kg for medium flight distance, showing a NOx per kilometer of between 0.32 and 0.21 g/km. The fraction of landing and takeoff NOx emissions changes between 17.2% and 10.0% on average, depending on flight distance. The average total flight NOx emission per kg fuel burned is calculated to be 31-32 g/kg fuel. When a constant relative humidity is assumed as 60% during an entire flight, the total NOx emissions is found to be up to 12.1 kg lower than for those where the relative humidity depends on altitude.IEEEScientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK) [111Y048]; Anadolu University Scientific Research Project Commissions of Turkey [1205F091]This study was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK) (Project No: 111Y048) and Anadolu University Scientific Research Project Commissions (Project No: 1205F091) of Turkey.

    WOS: 000376672600018This study presents the results of analyses related to the effects of ambient air temperature (ranging from 5.2 to 23.9 degrees C) on certain engine performance parameters and gaseous emissions, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. The data set used in the analyses was developed from gaseous-emission measurements of aircraft turbofan engines, during routine test-cell operations after overhauls. The engine focused on is the CFM56-7B26. Because the data were recorded in a continuous manner, all of the parameters have been characterized throughout the operations between idle to takeoff power. Two important parameters, combustion efficiency and specific fuel consumption, are also identified for all of the power settings, and are used to evaluate the effects of ambient air temperature on emissions. The results suggest that ambient air temperature is negatively correlated with thrust and pressure ratios, whereas it is positively correlated with exhaust-gas and combustor-inlet temperatures. In addition, the effects of ambient air temperature on thrust, combustor-inlet pressure, and overall and high-pressure compressor pressure ratios are higher at higher power settings than at lower power settings. Furthermore, the higher the ambient air temperature is, the higher are the combustion efficiency and specific fuel consumption, particularly at low power settings. At ground-idle power settings, the specific fuel consumption is found to be 41 and 24 g/kNs for above and below 14.0 degrees C of ambient air temperature. The nitrogen oxides results are generally found to be lower than the International Civil Aviation Organization nitrogen oxides values, and the results point out, as anticipated, a tendency toward higher nitrogen oxides at higher ambient air temperatures. Carbon monoxide emissions at low power settings are found to be highly variable compared to those for the International Civil Aviation Organization values, due to the fact that the carbon monoxide emissions are strong functions of engine power at low power settings, and any difference in engine power leads to substantial differences in carbon monoxide emissions. Therefore, this difference is addressed to the difference in idle power assumption of the International Civil Aviation Organization. The effects of ambient air temperature on carbon monoxide emissions also suggest a negative correlation, particularly at low power settings, whereas it is not as discernible as with the nitrogen oxides emissions.Scientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK) of Turkey [111Y048]; Anadolu University Scientific Research Project Commissions of Turkey [1205F091]; Turkish Airlines; Turkish Technic, Inc.This study was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK) (project number 111Y048) and the Anadolu University Scientific Research Project Commissions (project number 1205F091) of Turkey, in partnership with Turkish Airlines and Turkish Technic, Inc.

    Underwater separation of gravel from sand in hydraulic dredging ships

    Gravel is a material with multiple purposes in construction and infrastructure. Its usage ranges from construc-tion of roads, building navigational channels to land reclaimation. Gravel can be obtained through multiple methods, such as dredging with ships. One of such dredging ship is the trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD). However, in the seabed the gravel is thoroughly mixed with sand, thus during the collection process the unwanted sand is pumped up with the gravel. It is not uncommon to receive up to 80% sand and only 20% gravel. In order to use the storage of the ship more efficiently, the gravel is separated from the sand through an on board sieve installation. The sand is released back into the water and the gravel is collected in the hopper. This has several disadvantages, such as wasting energy by pumping unwanted sand which is returned back to the seabed. The turbidity in the seabed that occurs by releasing the fine sand which settles slowly to the seabed. And the requirement of a large sieve installation to separate the gravel from the sand, which reduces the already limited space of a ship. In order to limit the mentioned disadvantages, it would be favourable to bring the separation process at or near the seafloor. Through a literature study the best underwater separa-tor has been selected. From this it is concluded that the usage of a jet that pushes fine sediment out is the best for underwater separation. The fine sediment is pushed to the upper part of the pipe, whilst the coarse particles resist the jet and remain at the lower part of the pipe. The fine particles at the top are sucked in by a retour pipe, which guides them down to the seabed where it is released with a lowered environmental impact. Further research on this concept is done through the use of computer simulations which models the conditions using a drift-flux solver. The concept has been tested with different configurations to determine the influence of several input variables. The chosen variables are the inlet velocity, jet velocity, sediment size and sediment concentration. For these configurations the separation efficiency of the system is determined by analysing the retained gravel and the filtered sand. The containment of gravel is generally over 90% and highly satisfactory. The maximum separation of sand is 50%. These results indicate the viability of the system and thus research on improvements are recommended to further increase the systems effectiveness and efficiency.Offshore and Dredging Engineerin

    “Democracy Happens Where the People Are”

    No full text
    The turmoil in Turkey’s domestic politics has been exacerbating at an unforeseen pace since the Gezi protests in 2013. What made this protest period particularly remarkable was the multiplicity and diversity of youth discourses, that crossed the borders of a single issue-based opposition. The Gezi period and its aftermath in this sense can be understood as a tipping point in contemporary Turkish politics. Hence, in an attempt to understand the converging and diverging viewpoints of the young people who were the protagonists of the Gezi protests, this study utilizes Q-methodology and deciphers diverging and converging narratives of urban, secular, educated young people, who are said to have constituted the main body of protestors. Following the analysis of the primary data, the author observes three emerging discourses dominant among 21 young people (aged 20–30). The results hint at shared viewpoints on the Gezi protests as an “apolitical movement”, a “violent movement” and a “Jacobin movement”. The author argues that this divergence points at the exacerbating social polarization among youth groups in Turkey, which reached dangerous heights after the putsch on 15 July 2016.</p

    In this thesis, a modelling approach to model soot emissions for a Rich Burn-Quick Quench- Lean Burn (RQL) type aero engine combustion chamber will be presented. The sot emissions will be modelled by coupling Chemical Reactor Network (CRN) approach with Method of Moments with Interpolative Closure (MOMIC), a detailed soot formation model. The developed approach will be first validated by comparing it with well-established experimental cases that include progress of multiple species along with soot concentrations. After the validation, a sensitivity study on the developed modelling approach will be conducted to investigate the model’s behaviour for extended combustion conditions. Lastly, the developed modelling approach will be applied to estimate the soot emissions along with other major emissions of a RQL combustion chamber for various power settings. Aerospace Engineerin

    Comparison of Microsoft DSL Tools and Eclipse Modeling Frameworks for Domain-Specific Modeling in the context of Model-Driven Development

    No full text
    Today it is realized by industry that automation of software development leads to increased productivity, maintainability and higher quality. Model-Driven Development (MDD) aims to replace manual software development methods by automated methods using Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) to express domain concepts effectively. Main actors in software industry, Microsoft and IBM have recognized the need to provide technologies and tools to allow building DSLs to support MDD. On the one hand, Microsoft is building DSL Tools integrated in Visual Studio 2005; on the other hand IBM is contributing to the development of Eclipse Modeling Frameworks (EMF/GEF/GMF), both tools aim to make development and deployment of DSLs easier. Software practitioners seek for guidelines regarding how to adopt these tools. In this thesis, the author presents the current state-of-the-art in MDD standards and Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM). Furthermore, the author presents current state-of-the-tools for DSM and performs a comparison of Microsoft DSL Tools and Eclipse EMF/GEF/GMF Frameworks based on a set of evaluation criteria. For the purpose of comparison the author developed two DSL designers (one by using each DSM tool). Based on the experiences gained in development of these DSL designers, the author prepared guidelines regarding how to adopt these tools to existing development environments as well as their advantages and drawbacks
