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

An alumino-silicate based fireclay used in the production of refractory materials contains iron impurity which is not in the desired limits. The magnetic conversion conditions have been experimented in the reduction of iron content in the fireclay by magnetic separation. Effects of heating temperature, heating time and grain size and coal addition were investigated in the magnetization of fireclay samples. An artificial neural network was developed for modeling the dependency of magnetization on temperature, time and grain size as well as on coal addition during heating and an optimization problem was formulated in order to achieve the optimum conditions of magnetization. The results indicate that heating clay particles of 517 mesh (average 3.36 mm) grain size at 458 degrees C for 15 min without any coal addition will give the optimum magnetization.
