The Atılım University Department of Mechanical Engineering started education in 2009, and offers graduate and doctorate degree programs, in addition to its undergraduate program. Our main goal is to graduate Mechanical Engineers who have the skills to design, analyze and synthesize; who are able to convert advanced technology and innovations into products; and who have the culture of research and cooperation. While our graduates reach this goal, they adopt the principle of life-long learning, and develop a sense of entrepreneurship, paying importance to professional ethics. With a curriculum prepared in line with the criteria of MÜDEK, we help our students develop themselves professionally, and socially. Graduates of mechanical engineering may be employed in many sectors and in a wide array of positions. Able to work under any field that involves production and energy conversion, graduates of the department may also gain expertise in fields such as aviation, automotive, or material engineering.

(2009)
The Department of Energy Systems Engineering admitted its first students and started education in the academic year of 2009-2010 under Atılım University School of Engineering. In this Department, all kinds of energy are presented in modules (conventional energy, renewable energy, hydrogen energy, bio-energy, nuclear energy, energy planning and management) from their detection, production and procession; to their transfer and distribution. A need is to arise for a surge of energy systems engineers to ensure energy supply security and solve environmental issues as the most important problems of the fifty years to come. In addition, Energy Systems Engineering is becoming among the most important professions required in our country and worldwide, especially within the framework of the European Union harmonization process, and within the free market economy.

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to investigate the high-temperature electrochemical hydrogen purification (HT-ECHP) performances of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) support material decorated with platinum (Pt) and platinum-ruthenium (PtRu) nanoparticles prepared by microwave irradiation technique. Prepared catalysts coupled to the phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane for HT-ECHP application. The structural and electrochemical properties of the catalysts were examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Transition electron microscopy (TEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analyses. The characterization results indicate that the catalysts provided the necessary properties for HT-ECHP application. The HT-ECHP performances are investigated with reformate gas mixture containing hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the range of 140-180 & DEG;C. The results show that the electrochemical purification performances of the catalysts increase with increasing operating temperature. The highest H2 purification performance is obtained with PtRu/GNP catalyst. The high electrochemical H2 purification performance of the PtRu/GNP catalyst can be attributed to the strong synergistic interactions between Pt and Ru particles decorated on the GNP. These results advocate that the PtRu/GNP catalyst is a hopeful catalyst for HT-ECHP application. & COPY; 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
