Öğe Dimension and insulation thickness optimization of circular flat plate solar collectors(Energy Education Science and Technology, 2011) Argunhan, ZekiIn this study, expressions for optimum radius of a circular flat plate solar collector and the optimum insulation thickness distribution are derived by using the concept of solar gain, which maximizes the life-cycle savings. For the specified condition the optimum radius has been found as 2.14 m and the optimum insulation thickness distribution on back of collectors has been formulized. The insulation material thickness distribution has been determined by performing a detailed dimensional analysis; therefore heat loss is minimized, and results are presented in graphics.Öğe 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, OrhanIn 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.Öğe Second Law analysis in concentric heat exchangers with vortex flow generators(Energy Education Science and Technology, 2011) Argunhan, Zeki; Çakmak, Gülşah; Yıldız, Cengiz; Behçet, RasimIn the present study, the experimental results of heat transfer of a concentric tube heat exchanger were analyzed with respect to Second Law of Thermodynamics to reach the geometric optimal design of the heat exchangers. In order to increase the heat transfer, the vortex generators were placed in the entrance of the inner pipe of the heat exchanger. These vortex generators are 60 mm in diameter having six angled (55°, 65°, 75°, 90°) winglets. The winglets have one rectangular slot in each and are 2×7 mm in dimensions. Experiments were carried out with different Reynolds Numbers. Air as hot fluid and water as cold fluid were passed through the inner pipe and outer pipe of the concentric tube heat exchanger, respectively. The variations of the efficiency and Entropy Generation Number with respect to Reynolds Number are shown in graphics, and the results were discussed.Öğe 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 KemalIn 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 advantageousÖğe Effect of swirl generators with different sized propeller on heat transfer enhancement(Energy Education Science and Technology, 2011) Argunhan, Zeki; Yıldız, Cengiz; Çakmak, GülşahIn 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.Öğe Evaluation of fly ash and polypropylene in production of composite materials(Energy Education Science and Technology, 2012) Argunhan, Zeki; Yıldız, Tülay; Haksever, AysenMore 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.
