Assoc. Prof. Dr. Candeniz SEÇKİN TitleEEA analysis of fuel production and power generation processes via fast prolysis method Abstract“Pyrolysis” is a method in which thermal waste treatment is taken place in an oxygen free environment. There are three types of pyrolysis methods which are: conventional pyrolysis (550–900K), fast pyrolysis (850–1250K), and flash pyrolysis (1050–1300K) [1,2]. The products of biomass pyrolysis include biochar, bio-oil and gases including methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Depending on the thermal environment and the final temperature, pyrolysis will yield mainly biochar at low temperatures, less than 450 C, when the heating rate is quite slow, and mainly gases at high temperatures, greater than 800 C, with rapid heating rates. At an intermediate temperature and under relatively high heating rates, the main product is bio-oil. All of these are possible energy sources of different power generation processes [3].
Extended Exergy Accounting (EEA) includes the “extended exergy balance” of all material, energy carriers and also immaterial/non-energetic production factors (externalities) and provides a good measure of resource which is irreversibly consumed in the life cycle of a material or immaterial commodity. Thus, the global problem of resource depletion and environment damage can be monitored by EEA, which is in essence a carefully and rigorously defined extension not of the concept of exergy but of its application to measure different fluxes. Once the numeraire of extended exergy (which is a strictly thermodynamic quantity that expresses the amount of equivalent primary exergy “embodied” in a commodity) is employed as the sole measure of resource consumption, it automatically follows with minimization of exergy use and destruction which are essential for improving the degree of sustainability [4].
This project focuses on the EEA analysis of energy generation process from municipal solid waste by means of fast pyrolysis methodology.

Demands on increasing the battlefield mobility, that is, the ability of tanks to
move when in actual or imminent contact with enemy forces, inevitably lead to
the requirement of firing on the move, instead of having to stop every time they
engage a target. This requirement call, in turn, for gun control systems which
minimize the effects of vehicle motion on the main armament of tanks and in
particular its ability to hit targets. The effects of vehicle motion on the armament of
the tank can be minimized by gun stabilization systems that are designed to maintain

capacity directly determines the combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment. In
recent years, the research of maneuvering target tracking has been a hot issue in the
field of radar. The key to the radar target tracking algorithm is the capacity to track
the target accurately, that is, to ensure the accuracy of the algorithm. In general, the
radar single target tracking algorithm consists of two parts: one part is the state
estimation, namely real-time estimation of the movement state of the target through
various methods; the other part describes the change law of the target moving state
through establishing various models. The effects of vehicle motion on the
radar/gimbal system can be minimized by stabilization systems that are designed to
maintain the spatial orientation of radar.
