Özet

Kura river (total length is 1515 km) starting in north-eastern Turkey, it flows through Turkey to Georgia, then to Azerbaijan, where it receives the Aras River as a right tributary, and enters the Caspian Sea. Pollution of the river from the territory of the neighbouring states creates an environmental tension. Mineralisation of the water of the Kura river raises till 800-1200 mg in the connecting part of Araz and Kura rivers is 35-50 per cent more compared to its medium current. Density of polluted water of Kura river is max. 9 times more than sanitary norms. More than 350 million m3 of the chemically and biologically polluted water annually injects the Kura river pool. From this point of view, it is important to conduct, from the security of the population point of view, a general monitoring over the dangerous substances in the transborder rivers.  During our last research activities, we have investigated the thermophysical properties (density, vapor pressure, viscosity, speed of sound, chemical compounds analysis) of 14 Kura river water sample in Azerbaijan side from west to east over the parameter range of interest. In this presentation, we will inform the the thermophysical properties of four new water samples of Kura River in Turkey side from its source at Ardahan region, which are carry out at DMA HPM high pressure – high temperature vibration tube densimeter. The density and speed of sound measurements at ambient pressure are carry out using the DSA 5000M density and speed of sound measurement installation. The chemical compounds analysis using the IRIS Intrepid II Optical Emission Spectrometer and DX 100 ion chromatography are also presented. These investigations have been examined for the first time. The comprehensive and accurate thermodynamic equation of state over a well specified range of parameters which are of interest in ecological research are constructed, which are used to calculate thermophysical properties of these samples. Using the (p,ρ,T) data, the comprehensive and accurate thermodynamic equation of state over a well specified range of parameters which are of interest in ecological research was constructed, which is used to calculate thermophysical properties of these samples.
