    An experimental investigation of the effect of thermophysical properties on time lag and decrement factor for building elements
    (Gazi University, 2020-06-01) Oktay, Hasan; Yumrutaş, Recep; Argunhan, Zeki
    The time lag (TL) and decrement factor (DF) are essential for the heat storage capabilities of building elements, which strictly depend on the thermophysical properties of the elements. Many investigations are presented in literature arguing to find the influence of each thermophysical property on TL and DF by keeping the other properties constant. This study aims to investigate the effect of each property on TL and DF, utilizing relationships between the measurement values of the thermophysical properties of wall materials. Therefore, first, 132 new concrete wall samples were produced, and their thermophysical properties were tested. Secondly, TL and DF values for each building element are computed from the solution of the problem by Complex Finite Fourier Transform (CFFT) technique. Finally, a multivariate regression analysis has been performed, and the variations of each thermophysical property versus TL and DF are presented, and also the findings are compared with literature. The results show that each property alone (keeping the other properties constant) is not adequate to identify the thermal inertia and thermal performance of a wall element. Besides, 87.3 % decrease in thermal diffusivity corresponds to 6.03 h increase in the value of TL and 88.8 % decrease in value of DF; respectively, for W1 wall assembly.

    Biodiesel fuel, which can be produced from crude or waste vegetable oil, is an important alternative renewable fuel for diesel engines. Particularly the use of vegetable oils for diesel engines has found an important place in several surveys. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petrodiesel in any proportions. Biodiesel is suitable for usage at conventional diesel engines without modification. In this study, canola and safflower oil biodiesel methyl is realized by using the esterification method.. The produced biodiesels were blended in %(50) (in volume) with diesel fuel. The blends were tested in a four cycle, four cylinder Diesel engine. The effects of biodiesel addition to Diesel No. 2 on the performance and emissions of the engine were examined at full load. The resulting performance values were found to be similar to diesel fuel. In general, specific fuel consumption of biodiesel is higher than diesel at all engine loads. Significant difference between the exhaust temperature is not determined. AB50 biodiesel compared to diesel HC emissions at high loads began to decline. NOx, CO2 and O2 emissions ratio has increased at high loads for Biodiesel fuels. Experimental results showed that the produced biodiesels can be partially substituted for the diesel fuel at most operating conditions in terms of the performance parameters and emissions without any engine modification and preheating of the blends.

    (Fırat Üniversitesi, 2015) Oktay, Hasan; Polat, Süleyman; Fidan, Şehmus
    The growing concern about energy consumption of heating and cooling of buildings has led to a demand for improved thermal performances of building materials. In this study, an experimental investigation is performed to predict the thermal insulation properties of wall and roof structures of which the mechanical properties are known, by using backpropagation artificial neural network (ANNs) method. The produced samples are cement based and have relatively high insulation properties for energy efficient buildings. In this regard, 102 new samples and their compositions are produced and their mechanical and thermal properties are tested in accordance with ASTM and EN standards. Then, comparisons have been made between the determined thermal conductivity of the newly produced structures, which are obtained from experimental method and ANN method that uses mechanical properties as input parameters. From the test results, since the percentage errors in the thermal conductivity values between experimental data and neural network prediction vary from - 1.09% to 6.4%, It can be concluded that the prediction of the artificial neural network has proceed in the correct manner.

    Comparison of CLTD and TETD cooling load calculation methods for different building envelopes
    (Mugla Sitki Kocman University, 2020-06-30) Oktay, Hasan; Yumrutaş, Recep; Işık, Mehmet Zerrakki
    The estimation of the cooling load through the building envelope is an essential task in the selection of proper HVAC system components that influences the building’s performance. For this task, ASHRAE has presented several methods to calculate the building cooling load due to heat gain, such as the total equivalent temperature difference method (TETD), the cooling load temperature difference method (CLTD), and the radiant time series method (RTS). The present study aims to explore the accuracies of those calculation methods in terms of energy efficiency. In this regard, an analytical solution method utilizing Complex Finite Fourier Transform Technique (CFFT) was developed for the calculation of cooling load due to heat gain to compare the temperature differences obtained from the TETD and CLTD methods. Then, a computer program was prepared in MATLAB to perform the calculations based on an analytical methodology. Besides, the estimated CLTD and TETD values by the CFFT were compared with those values presented in the Handbook of the ASHRAE. The calculation results revealed there is a good agreement between the analytical and presented results in the ASHRAE Manual for the selected building envelopes. However, several differences were found between the estimated TETD and CLTD cooling load values and those presented in the Handbook of ASHRAE

    Comparison of the thermal performances of concretes containing waste rubber for energy efficient buildings
    (2018) Oktay, Hasan; Yumrutaş, Recep
    Due to the rapid depletion of available sites, the disposal of waste tires is becoming a serious environmental problem day by day. Assessment of waste rubbers in concrete is an innovative solution that meets both the challenge of the tire disposal problem and a demand for improved thermal performances of structural materials for energy efficient buildings. Therefore, in this study, an investigation is performed both to obtain new concrete types by using waste rubbers with high thermal insulating characteristics and to compare the thermal performance of those concretes with conventional ones. For this purpose, different types of concrete samples were prepared with a constant water-cement ratio, and normal aggregates replaced by rubber aggregates at different volume fractions between 0% and 60% of the total aggregate volume. In the experiments, all mechanical tests were conducted and the hot disk method was used to establish thermal property values of concrete samples. In order to determine the most suitable concrete samples, heat flows through the produced samples are calculated using a program developed in MATLAB. Calculation method for the heat flow is based on solution of transient heat transfer problem for the multilayer structures. The program is executed to calculate hourly heat gain values for these samples over a period of 24 h during design day for Batman, Turkey. The results indicated that the maximum reduction in heat gain value was obtained as 50.6 % for RC60 wall with commonly used thickness of 20 cm corresponding to conventional concrete.

    Effects of fuels produced from fish and cooking oils on performance and emissions of a diesel engine
    (Elsevier, 2014-07-15) Oktay, Hasan; Yumrutaş, Recep; Behçet, Rasim
    In this study, two fuels called as FOME (Fish Oil Methyl Ester) and COME (Cooking Oil Methyl Ester) were produced from waste fish and cooking oils using the transesterification method. Commercial D2 (Diesel fuel) and two fuel samples obtained by blending the FOME and COME with the D2 with a ratio of 25% on volume basis were used as fuels in a Diesel test engine. An experimental study was performed for investigating the performance and exhaust emissions of the Diesel engine using the fuels. According to the test results, it was observed that the fish oil based fuel indicated better performance and exhaust emission parameters than those of cooking oil. Results clearly showed that the engine power and torque values were lower than those of the Diesel fuel with values of 3.05% and 1.25% for FB25, and 4.07% and 2.2% for CB25, respectively. Also, brake specific fuel consumption for the produced fuels increased up to 5.69% compared to Diesel fuel. However, HC and CO emission reductions compared to the Diesel fuel were found to be around 16.24% and 19.81%, respectively. But, the amount of increase in NOx emissions for the same biodiesel fuels reached up to 17.2%.

    (European Journal of Technique (EJT), 2016-12) Oktay, Hasan; Argunhan, Zeki; Doğmuş, Recep
    Perlite is a siliceous volcanic glass that provides heat and sound insulation, whose volume can expand substantially under the effect of heat. Perlite ore is one of the most important mineral resources for Turkey where holds a large portion reserves in the world. Evaluation of perlite in building industry, which has advantages in terms of heat and sound insulation, will make an important contribution to the national economy. In this context, experimental investigations are performed for obtaining new concrete types with relatively high strength, low density and good thermal and acoustic properties for energy efficient buildings. For this purpose, 6 sets and different types of concrete samples were prepared with a constant watercement ratio, and normal aggregates replaced by expanded perlite aggregates at different volume fractions such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% of the total aggregate volume. Mechanical and thermal tests were all conducted and the hot disk method was used to establish thermal property values of concrete samples. The results of the experimental studies show that the compressive strength and density decreases, while highly increases the heat and sound insulation features with increasing in perlite content. As a result, it was found out that the reductions in thermal conductivity [Wm–1K–1] and ultrasonic pulse velocity [km/s] of the produced samples reached to 75% and 35%, respectively.

    Comparison of heat gain values obtained for building structures with real and constant properties
    (Bitlis Eren Üniversitesi, 2019-12-24) Oktay, Hasan; Yumrutaş, Recep; Argunhan, Zeki
    The magnitude of energy consumption due to the heating and cooling of buildings has led to the demand for increasing the thermal performance of building structures. Many investigations are presented in literature arguing to find the effect of each thermophysical property on the thermal characteristics of building components, while the properties have been assumed as independent of each other. In this context, this paper focuses on the effect of each property on heat gain value utilizing relationships between the measurement values of the thermophysical properties of building structures. In the previous study, 102 new wall samples were produced, their thermophysical properties were tested and expressions among these properties are obtained. In this study, the heat gain values through the structures are computed using the solution of the transient heat transfer problem by using both the obtained expressions between the thermophysical properties and assumptions proposed from the literature. Results obtained for varying and constant thermophysical properties have been compared with those values presented in the literature. The results show that the assumptions are not realistic in a significant number of cases. Moreover, if one of the thermophysical properties of a material is known, heat gain values can be calculated easily for the selected wall or roof types.
