Investigation of combustion efficiency in flue gases: Batman city example

Energy, a requirement for meeting people’s needs and for continuation of healthy development of a country, is particularly used in fields such as industry, house heating and transportation. However, in addition to its benefits essential for life, energy causes great deal of environmental pollution during its production, conversion, transportation and consumption. One of the basic causes of environment and air pollution is that combustion does not occur efficiently. Therefore, it is important to find out combustion efficiency after flue gas analysing measurements are carried out. In this study, with regard to flue gas exit heat, CO2, O2, combustion efficiency of fuels such as wood, lignite and natural gas which are mostly used in heating systems of houses in Batman city were investigated.
