Abstract
In this project the heat values and the amount of air pollutants such as oxides of sulfur, oxides of nitrogen and CO2 released into the atmoshpere of Lignite (Soma coal), Bituminous coal (Zonguldak coal), Subbituminous coal (Beypazarı coal), Octane, Dodecane and Hexadecane are calculated and examined by using a bomb calorimeter. The aim of this project is to compare the heat values and amount of air pollutants released into the atmosphere after the combustion of these widely used carbon based fuels. Moreover from these comparisons the most efficient carbon based fuel (depending on the amount of air pollutant released per heat energy given out) can be determined. Throughout the experiment these fuel types are combusted in a bomb calorimeter. Through the combustion reactions the temperature of the system is observed and both the higher and lower heating values of the fuels are calculated. Moreover temperature change versus time graphs are drawn to determine how fast, intense or orderly the reactions occur. Apart from these the amounts of air pollutant released are calculated by using the combustion reaction formula of each fuel. In the conclusion of the project it is found that Zonguldak coal has the highest heating value however it releases much more carbondioxide to the atmosphere than the other fuels. Octane on the other hand has the lowest heating value. Apart from these comparison, in order to compare the efficiency of the fuels, heating values are proportioned with the amounts of air polluntants released. When assuming only one type of air pollutant is present (only CO2 by using control methods). From this comparison it is found that Soma coal is the most efficient fuel. However when assuming that there are no control methods present, most efficient fuel type is found to be Hexadecane.
