    (Ahmet ÇALIK, 2022-09-20) Adin, Hamit; Ergün, Raşit Koray; Adin, Mehmet Şükrü
    Today, while transportation is constantly moving forward, costs are increasing. The aim is to obtain light structures that are suitable in terms of weight, sufficient in strength, and to save materials and energy. Axles are not only used in transport vehicles, but also in buses, automobiles and forklifts. Axles must be of a reliable structure due to their place of use. The external effects that the axles are generally exposed to are the applied loads. In this study, the mechanical damage analysis of the axle shaft and the characteristic changes in steel materials as a result of static loading were investigated numerically. In order to observe the mechanical behavior of the axle shaft under various loading conditions, mechanical tests should be supported by numerical analysis. Because the physical causes of damage development can be understood through numerical analysis. The aim of our study is to reach the most suitable values in the design of the variables with the optimization technique of the axle shaft made of AISI 1035 steel. Optimum values were obtained by performing numerical analyzes of the axle shaft designed with Solidworks program. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that deformation occurred at the ends of the axle.

    (Batman Üniversitesi, 2022-06-30) Demir, İdris; Altun, Şehmus; Yaşar, Fevzi
    Günümüzde fosil enerji kaynaklarının temininde yaşanan sorunlar ve bu kaynakların sınırlı bir rezerve sahip olmasından dolayı yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları giderek artan bir öneme sahip olmuştur. Fosil enerjinin çevresel etkileri de yenilenebilir kaynakların önemini artıran bir diğer faktör olmuştur. Bu bağlamda başta odun, bitki, tarımsal ve orman kalıntı ve artıklarından oluşan biyokütle yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları arasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ülkemizde fındık, fıstık ve ceviz gibi sert kabuklu yemişlerin kabukları yüksek bir atık potansiyeline sahip bir biyokütle kaynağı olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu biyokütle kaynakları direk olarak (örneğin yakılarak) enerji üretiminde kullanılabildikleri gibi bunlardan farklı yöntemler ile biyoyakıt elde edilmesi de mümkündür. Bu bağlamda ülkemizde yıllık yüksek miktarlarda oluşan bir atık kaynak olarak antep fıstığı kabuklarının biyokütle olarak değerlendirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada antep fıstığı kabuklarının biyokütle kaynağı olarak değerlendirilmesi araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla Batman ve çevresinin antep fıstığı potansiyeli araştırıldıktan sonra farklı yörelere ait fıstık kabuklarının analizi yapılmıştır. Batman 2021 yılı için 963 ton antep fıstığı üretimi ile Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep, Siirt ve Kilis’ten sonra en fazla üretim yapılan il olmuştur. Yapılan analiz sonucu fıstık kabuklarının yüksek oranda (ortalama %45) karbon ve oksijen (ortalama %48) içerdiği belirlenmiştir.

    (Bilecik Şeyh Edebali Üniversitesi, 2022-06-30) Adin, Mehmet Şükrü; İşcan, Bahattin; Baday, Şehmus
    Martensitic stainless steel AISI 431 and low carbon steel AISI 1020 are materials used together in many different industries. However, important problems are encountered when welding (fusion welding) these materials to each other. For this reason, friction welding process (Solid-state welding) is used to join these dissimilar metals. There are very few studies on joining these materials with friction welding. Therefore, the optimization of the welding parameters used in joining these dissimilar steel pairs with friction welding is of great important. In addition, the effects of the factors dependent on friction welding parameters need to be well understood. In this study, AISI 431 and AISI 1020 steel bars were successfully joined by friction welding, and the effects of welding parameters on tensile strength and axial shortening were investigated, and welding parameters were optimized using Taguchi method to obtain quality weld joints. The experimental results of the study showed that the highest tensile strength (573.32 MPa) of the joints was 54.53%, higher than the lowest tensile strength (370.99 MPa), the highest axial shortening (23.18 mm) was 650.16%, higher than the lowest axial shortening (3.09 mm). The optimal parameters for average axial shortening and average tensile strength were determined as A3B1C3 and A3B3C2; and the highest percentage contribution values for axial shortening and tensile strength were found to be 51.55% (rotating speed) and 63.90% (rotating speed); and R2 values for the average axial shortening and average tensile strengths were found to be 97% and 99.3%, respectively.

    Experimental investigation of the effects of diesel-like fuel obtained from waste lubrication oil on engine performance and exhaust emission
    (Journals & Books, 2010-10) Argunhan, Zeki; Yumrutaş, Recep; Arpa, Orhan
    In this study, effects of diesel-like fuel (DLF) on engine performance and exhaust emission are investigated experimentally. The DLF is produced from waste engine lubrication oil purified from dust, heavy carbon soot, metal particles, gum-type materials and other impurities. A fuel production system mainly consisting of a waste oil storage tank, filters, a reactor, oil pump, a product storage tank, thermostats and control panel is designed and manufactured. The DLF is produced by using the system and applying pyrolitic distillation method. Characteristics, performance and exhaust emissions tests of the produced DLF are carried out at the end of the production. The characteristic tests such as density, viscosity, flash point, heating value, sulfur content and distillation of the DLF sample are performed utilizing test equipments presented in motor laboratory of Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Gaziantep, Turkey. Performance and exhaust emission tests for the DLF are performed using diesel test engine. It is observed from the test results that about 60 cc out of each 100 cc of the waste oil are converted into the DLF. Characteristics and distillation temperatures of the DLF are close to those values of a typical diesel fuel sample. It is observed that the produced DLF can be used in diesel engines without any problem in terms of engine performance. The DLF increases torque, brake mean effective pressure, brake thermal efficiency and decreases brake specific fuel consumption of the engine for full power of operation.

    The effect of rotary type turbulator placed in entrance of heat exchanger on heat transfer and frictional loss
    (Energy Education Science and Technology, 2011) Argunhan, Zeki; Behçet, Rasim; Yakut, Ali Kemal
    In this study, improving heat transfer in heat exchangers with paralel flow is gained by using swirl flow. For this purpose, a propeller type of turbulator was placed in the entrance of interior pipe of heat exchanger with paralel flow and the effect of turbulator on the heat transfer and friction losses in steady conditions was experimentally investigated. The effect of production of turbulance for improvement of heat transfer in interior pipe flows and the effects of turbulator on heat transfer and pressure drop are experimentally researched by placing a propeller type of turbulator at the entrance of heat exchanger to produce swirl air flow. In experiment setup, water was used as the fluid on which the heat was transferred and air was used as the fluid from which heat was transferred to the water. By usage of datas obtained from experimental measurements were calculated for Reynolds number ranging from 8000 to 24000 necessary relationships effet on heat transfer and pressure drop. In comparison with empty pipe it was seen that the heat transfer increased at range between 25,5%- 50,3% and the friction losses increased 5 times. Besides, by analyzing the system exergy, the dependence of non-dimensional exergy loss on Reynolds number was drawn to investigate whether this improvement technique is advantageous thermodynamically or not. When comparing the exergy losses in empty pipe and the pipe with a turbulator at approximately same Reynolds numbers, it was seen that exergy loss is 15% higher for empty pipe than that for the pipe with the turbulator. As a result of that information, the improvement technique was proved to be advantageous in thermodynamic manner too. By the usage of turbulator that results in the partial recovery of loss energy, it was proven that the improvement technique was thermodynamically advantageous

    Effect of swirl generators with different sized propeller on heat transfer enhancement
    (Energy Education Science and Technology, 2011) Argunhan, Zeki; Yıldız, Cengiz; Çakmak, Gülşah
    In this study, the swirl flow that is one of the passive methods is used for increasing the heat transfer coefficient in the concentric heat exchangers. For this purpose, propeller type swirl generators were prepared to test in the experiments. So, the effect of propellers placed in the inner pipe of the concentric heat exchangers on the heat transfer and pressure drop was investigated experimentally. Experiments were undertaken for the Reynolds Number range of 4000-12000 and for both parallel and counter-flow. It is shown that, the propellers rotated freely with the effect of fluid flowed in the inner pipe are swirling flow generator and they have improved heat transfer. In addition that up to 50% enhancements could be accomplished in heat transfer rates with the swirl generators compared to without the swirl generators. In the parallel flow mode, the enhancement was 10% lower than that of counter-flow at the same Reynolds number. On the other hand the pressure losses increase approximately 3 times more than the empty tube related to Reynolds numbers and propeller sizes. As an outcome of the study, the results showed that a rather smaller size but the same capacity heat exchanger could be proposed by using these elements imposing swirling to the fluid flowing through inner pipe.

    Evaluation of fly ash and polypropylene in production of composite materials
    (Energy Education Science and Technology, 2012) Argunhan, Zeki; Yıldız, Tülay; Haksever, Aysen
    More than 10 million tons of fly ash produced in power plants and polypropylene wastes cause environmental pollution in Turkey. Not only the environmental problems they create, but also the fact that demand for raw material sources increases rapidly make fly ashes and waste polypropylene necessary to be researched. In this study the usability of the fly ashes and polypropylene wastes of Soma and Afsin-Elbistan Power Plants in producing new composite materials has been investigated. Materials which possess new properties such as composite type isolation have been formed by melting down the polypropylene wastes that are used as combining elements and by mixing this with fly ash in different percentages. The thermal conductivity, endurance against pressure pull-corrosion, and the rates of water absorption of these materials were analyzed experimentally and both stated and interpreted in the graphics. By this way, these two materials can be recovered by both lessening the environmental problems and providing income for economy by means of saving energy.

    (SpringerLink, 2012-06) Argunhan, Zeki; Çakmak, Gülşah; Yücel, Halit Lutfi; Yıldız, Cengiz
    In this article, the heat transfer, friction factor, and thermal performance factor characteristics of a concentric-tube heat exchanger are examined experimentally. A wavy inner pipe is mounted in the tube with the purpose of generating swirl flow that would help to increase the heat transfer rate of the tube. The examination is performed for a Reynolds number ranging from 2700 to 8800. An empirical correlation is also formulated to match with experimental data of the Nusselt number using the Wilson plot method. In addition, to obtain the real benefits in using the swirl generator at a constant pumping power, the thermal enhancement factor is also determined. Over the range considered, the increases in the Nusselt number, friction factor, and thermal performance factor are found to be, respectively, about 113 %, 81 %, and 196 % higher than those obtained from a smooth-surface inner pipe.

    (Journals & Books, 2017-08) Batı, Serkan; Kırık, İhsan; Sarsılmaz, Furkan
    This paper discussed the properties of friction welded joint of Armor 500 steel and duplex (ferritic/austenitic) steel AISI 2205 and compared the properties of weld at different welding parameters. The experimental study was conducted with the welding parameters such as friction pressure and friction time. The experimental results indicated that armor 500 steel could be joined to AISI 2205 steel using the traditional friction welding technique. The processed joints were tested through axial tension test. In addition, the highest tensile strength, which is 1020 MPa is obtained when friction time is 8 s and friction pressure is 80 MPa. The microstructures of the alloys and fracture surfaces were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Experimental results indicate that microstructural and mechanical properties are significantly affected by changing welding parameters within the chosen range of conditions.
