    Predicting the Effects of Direct-Injected Fuels Co-Powered by High-CO2 Biogas on RCCI Engine Emissions Using Kinetic Mechanisms and Multi-Objective Optimization
    (Elsevier, 2024-04) Dalha, Ibrahim B.; Koca, Kemal; Said, Mior A.; Rafindadi, Aminu D.
    High inert gas content in biogas resulted in poor burning and emissions attributes, though scarcely investigated in reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI). Established kinetic mechanisms were combined with multiobjective optimization to investigate, predict, and analyze emissions occurrence and trade-offs for reduced environmental impacts. The work examined the impact of direct-injected high reactivity fuels (HRF) and portinjected Biogas at various inert gas (carbon dioxide, CO2) rates (25 - 45% vol), biogas fractions (40 - 70%), speeds (1600 - 2000 rpm), and loads (4.5 - 6.5 bar IMEP) on emissions of RCCI engine, experimentally. The findings revealed that while engine speeds greatly decreased CO (carbon monoxide) and NOx (nitrate oxide) emissions with rising unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) regardless of HRF employed, higher engine load significantly reduced UHC emissions. Diesel-biogas reduces NOx emissions and performs better in reducing CO and UHC emissions at lower speeds than B5-biogas, except in low-level loads. Although increasing CO2 impact led to a reduction in UHC and CO emissions, the biogas proportion was the most significant variable. The main factor influencing increased NOx emissions was engine load, which is inversely correlated with reduced NOx and increased particulate emissions owing to high CO2 content and biogas proportion. The premixed mode's optimisation outcome confirms the trade -off reduction at 5.5 bar IMEP, 35.586% CO2, and 50% fraction. As a result, running the RCCI engine with direct-injected diesel co-powered in equal proportion with high-CO2 biogas cuts the emissions trade -off dramatically, limiting the environmental repercussions of the emissions.

    Design Analysis of a Wave Energy Converter for Hydrogen Generation Near Shoreline of Black Sea
    (Elsevier, 2024-06) Bekci, Eyuep; Koca, Kemal; Bashir, Muhammad Farhan
    The generation of electricity from waves has attracted a lot of attention from researchers lately. Despite the vastness and accessibility of wave energy across the majority of the planet, there is a dearth of literature on the production of electricity and hydrogen from wave power. In this paper, a comprehensive simulation related to hydrogen production with an oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) system was employed for the Black Sea region. The simulations were performed by means of Homer-Pro software and the data were provided thanks to European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) as well as a novel web-based tool with regards to wave resources. Initial results of web-based tool showed that the hydrogen generation was directly impacted by considerable wave height and wave energy period. As a result, it may change based on the days and months. May had the lowest monthly energy production (3 MWh), while December had the highest monthly energy production (27 MWh). Moreover, the electrolyzers with different efficiencies were investigated with Homer-Pro. The electrolyzer with an efficiency of 85% at 100 kW produced 3301 kg annually, whereas the electrolyzers with 90% and 95% efficiency at 100 kW produced 3419 kg annually and 3422 kg annually, respectively. Apart from those findings, when more efficient electrolyzers were employed in the system, both the capital and replacement costs dropped at the same time.

    Compensating Energy Demand of Public Transport and Yielding Green Hydrogen With Floating Photovoltaic Power Plant
    (Elsevier, 2024-06) Koca, Kemal
    The last three decades have seen a dramatic increase in the renewable energy sector as a result of increased human energy consumption and environmental concerns about fossil fuels. Offshore renewable energy sources are the most alluring and promising technologies because of more energy potential, less space, and visual restrictions than onshore ones. Among those, floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) has a remarkable reputation. The present study focuses on a viable way to replace energy resources derived from fossil fuels with renewable solar energy. In this regard, electrical energy demand is investigated where a floating photovoltaic system and integrated hydrogen production unit are employed on water surface of Yamula Dam. Energy demand of public trams would be compensated with electricity generated by FPV and rest of energy would be utilized for hydrogen production. Key results illustrated that in various scenarios, the energy generation amounts were around 31x10 6 kW, 32x10 6 kW, and 39x10 6 kW, while the energy consumption amounts were approximately 24x10 6 kW. It was evident that the energy created more than offset the amount consumed. It was also note that the total costs of entire system were $94.1 M, $78.5 M and $71.2 M according to the different cases. It was also observed that in October and November, the remaining energy from the Bozankaya tram produced the most hydrogen with 125 kg, whereas in September and October, the remaining energy from the Sirio tram produced approximately 70 kg.

    Biogas Intake Pressure and Port Air Swirl Optimization to Enhance the Diesel RCCI Engine Characteristics for Low Environmental Emissions
    (Elsevier, 2024) Dalha, Ibrahim B.; Koca, Kemal; Said, Mior A.; Rafindadi, Aminu D.
    Exhaust emission and combustion control in RCCI (reactivity-controlled compression ignition) focused mainly on the direct-injected fuel parameters, urging to investigate the advantages of port-fuel intake parameters. The engine was modified for port injection of Biogas at the valve and RCCI mode. The influence of port swirl ratio (PSR, 0 - 80%) and biogas injection pressure (BIP, 1 - 4 bar) on the diesel RCCI combustion and emissions was tested and optimized at varied loads and 1600 rpm in a port injection at the valve (PIVE) approach. Established kinetic mechanisms were combined with multi-objective optimization to further investigate, predict, and analyze emissions occurrence and trade-offs for reduced environmental impacts. The results show that the radiation absorption triggered by increased CO2 lowers combustion temperature, resulting in prolonged ignition. Setting the airflow to swirl lowers the in-cylinder pressure at elevated BIP while raising the heat generated across the BIPs. Increasing the PSR slows the combustion while BIP speeds up the process. BIP and PSR show great trade-off reduction ability among all emission parameters. The optimum unburned hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide, particulate, and carbon monoxide emissions for the injection at the valve were found to be 109.58, 0.577, and 2.336 ppm, and 0.103%, respectively, at low-load, low-BIP, and high-PSR. The emissions were lowered by 6.58, 91.26, 80.65, and 13.45% compared to the premixed RCCI mode, respectively. Therefore, introducing lowpressure biogas amid high swirling air at the valve elevates the in-cylinder condition while lowering the emissions, mitigating their environmental implications.
