Öğe Biodiesel production from inedible animal tallow and an experimental investigation of its use as alternative fuel in a direct injection diesel engine(Elsevier, 2009-02-15) Altun, Şehmus; Öner, CengizIn this study, a substitute fuel for diesel engines was produced from inedible animal tallow and its usability was investigated as pure biodiesel and its blends with petroleum diesel fuel in a diesel engine. Tallow methyl ester as biodiesel fuel was prepared by base-catalyzed transesterification of the fat with methanol in the presence of NaOH as catalyst. Fuel properties of methyl ester, diesel fuel and blends of them (5%, 20% and 50% by volume) were determined. Viscosity and density of fatty acid methyl ester have been found to meet ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 specifications. Viscosity and density of tallow methyl esters are found to be very close to that of diesel. The calorific value of biodiesel is found to be slightly lower than that of diesel. An experimental study was carried out in order to investigate of its usability as alternative fuel of tallow methyl ester in a direct injection diesel engine. It was observed that the addition of biodiesel to the diesel fuel decreases the effective efficiency of engine and increases the specific fuel consumption. This is due to the lower heating value of biodiesel compared to diesel fuel. However, the effective engine power was comparable by biodiesel compared with diesel fuel. Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and smoke opacity were reduced around 15%, 38.5%, 72.7% and 56.8%, respectively, in case of tallow methyl esters (B100) compared to diesel fuel. Besides, the lowest CO, NOx emissions and the highest exhaust temperature were obtained for B20 among all other fuels. The reductions in exhaust emissions made tallow methyl esters and its blends, especially B20 a suitable alternative fuel for diesel and thus could help in controlling air pollution. Based on this study, animal tallow methyl esters and its blends with petroleum diesel fuel can be used a substitute for diesel in direct injection diesel engines without any engine modification.Öğe The comparison of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics of sesame oil-diesel fuel mixture with diesel fuel in a direct injection diesel engine(Elsevier, 2008-01-09) Altun, Şehmus; Bulut, Hüsamettin; Öner, CengizThe use of vegetable oils as a fuel in diesel engines causes some problems due to their high viscosity compared with conventional diesel fuel. Various techniques and methods are used to solve the problems resulting from high viscosity. One of these techniques is fuel blending. In this study, a blend of 50% sesame oil and 50% diesel fuel was used as an alternative fuel in a direct injection diesel engine. Engine performance and exhaust emissions were investigated and compared with the ordinary diesel fuel in a diesel engine. The experimental results show that the engine power and torque of the mixture of sesame oil-diesel fuel are close to the values obtained from diesel fuel and the amounts of exhaust emissions are lower than those of diesel fuel. Hence, it is seen that blend of sesame oil and diesel fuel can be used as an alternative fuel successfully in a diesel engine without any modification and also it is an environmental friendly fuel in terms of emission parameters.Öğe Performance and emission analysis of cottonseed oil methyl ester in a diesel engine(Elsevier, 2010-03) Aydın, Hüseyin; Bayındır, HasanIn this study, performance and emissions of cottonseed oil methyl ester in a diesel engine was experimentally investigated. For the study, cottonseed oil methyl ester (CSOME) was added to diesel fuel, numbered D2, by volume of 5%(B5), 20%(B20), 50%(B50) and 75%(B75) as well as pure CSOME (B100). Fuels were tested in a single cylinder, direct injection, air cooled diesel engine. The effects of CSOME-diesel blends on engine performance and exhaust emissions were examined at various engine speeds and full loaded engine. The effect of B5, B20, B50, B75, B100 and D2 on the engine power, engine torque, bsfc's and exhaust gasses temperature were clarified by the performance tests. The influences of blends on CO, NOx, SO2 and smoke opacity were investigated by emission tests. The experimental results showed that the use of the lower blends (B5) slightly increases the engine torque at medium and higher speeds in compression ignition engines. However, there were no significant differences in performance values of B5, B20 and diesel fuel. Also with the increase of the biodiesel in blends, the exhaust emissions were reduced. The experimental results showed that the lower contents of CSOME in the blends can partially be substituted for the diesel fuel without any modifications in diesel engines.Öğe Radiation dose estimation and mass attenuation coefficients ofcement samples used in Turkey(Elsevier, 2009-12-16) Damla, Nevzat; Çevik, Uğur; Kobya, Ali İhsan; Çelik, Ahmet; Çelik, Necati; Grieken, R. VanDifferent cement samples commonly used in building construction in Turkey have been analyzed for natural radioactivity using gamma-ray spectrometry. The mean activity concentrations observed in the cement samples were 52, 40 and 324 Bq kg−1 for 226Ra, 232Th and 40K, respectively. The measured activity concentrations for these radionuclides were compared with the reported data of other countries and world average limits. The radiological hazard parameters such as radium equivalent activities (Raeq), gamma index (Iγ) and alpha index (Iα) indices as well as terrestrial absorbed dose and annual effective dose rate were calculated and compared with the international data. The Raeq values of cement are lower than the limit of 370 Bq kg−1, equivalent to a gamma dose of 1.5 mSv y−1. Moreover, the mass attenuation coefficients were determined experimentally and calculated theoretically using XCOM in some cement samples. Also, chemical compositions analyses of the cement samples were investigated.Öğe Current density-voltage analyses and interface characterization in Ag/DNA/p-InP structures(American Institute of Physics, 2012-02-15) Güllü, Ömer; Pakma, Osman; Türüt, AbdülmecitThe current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of Ag/DNA/p-InP metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures have been investigated in room temperature. We have observed that the Ag/DNA/p-InP structure shows an excellent rectifying behavior and that this structure increases the barrier height (φ b0). The main electrical parameters of these structures, such as ideality factor (n), barrier height, and average series resistance values were found to be 1.087, 0.726 eV, and 66.92Ω. This value of n was attributed to the presence of an interfacial insulator layer at the Ag/p-InP interface and the density of interface states (N ss) localized at the InP/DNA interface. The values of N ss localized at the InP/DNA interface were found at 0.675-E v in the 1.38 × 10 12 eV -1 cm -2.Öğe Analysis of electrical and photoelectrical properties of ZnO/p-InP heterojunction(Elsevier, 2011-06) Ocak, Yusuf Selim; Kulakçı, Mustafa; Turan, Raşit; Kılıçoğlu, Tahsin; Güllü, ÖmerA ZnO/p-InP heterojunction has been fabricated by dc sputtering of ZnO on p-InP. It has been observed that the device has a good rectification. The electrical properties of the device such as ideality factor, barrier height, series resistance have been calculated using its current-voltage (I-V) measurements between 300 and 380 K with 20 K intervals. The short current density (Jsc) and open circuit voltage (Voc) parameters have been determined between 40 and 100 mW/cm2. The photovoltaic parameters of the device have been also determined under 100 mW/cm2 and AM1.5 illumination condition.Öğe Current mechanism in HfO 2-gated metal-oxide-semiconductor devices(Hindawi, 2012-06-19) Pakma, OsmanThe present study aimed to examine the current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of Al/HfO2/p-Si (MOS) structure at temperatures ranging between 100 and 320 K and to determine the structure’s current transport mechanism. The HfO2 film was coated on a single side of the p-Si (111) crystal using the spin coating method. The J-V measurements of the obtained structure at the temperatures between 100 and 320 K revealed that the current transport mechanism in the structure was compatible with the Schottky emission theory. The Schottky emission theory was also used to calculate the structure’s Schottky barrier heights (φB), dielectric constants (εr) and refractive index values of the thin films at each temperature value. The dielectric constant and refractive index values were observed to decrease at decreasing temperatures. The capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductancevoltage (G/ω-V) characteristics of Al/HfO2/p-Si (MOS) structure was measured in the temperature range of 100–320 K. The values of measured C and G/ω decrease in accumulation and depletion regions with decreasing temperature due to localized Nss at Si/HfO2 interface.Öğe Effect of ethanol blending with biodiesel on engine performance and exhaust emissions in a CI engine(Elsevier, 2010-02-02) Aydın, Hüseyin; İlkılıç, CumaliThe use of biodiesel as an alternative diesel engine fuel is increasing rapidly. However, due to technical deficiencies, they are rarely used purely or with high percentages in unmodified diesel engines. Therefore, in this study, we used ethanol as an additive to research the possible use of higher percentages of biodiesel in an unmodified diesel engine. Commercial diesel fuel, 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel fuel, called here as B20, and 80% biodiesel and 20% ethanol, called here as BE20, were used in a single cylinder, four strokes direct injection diesel engine. The effect of test fuels on engine torque, power, brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, exhaust gas temperature, and CO, CO2, NOx and SO2 emissions was investigated. The experimental results showed that the performance of CI engine was improved with the use of the BE20 especially in comparison to B20. Besides, the exhaust emissions for BE20 were fairly reduced.Öğe Electronic properties of Al/DNA/p-Si MIS diode: Application as temperature sensor(Elsevier, 2011-01) Güllü, Ömer; Türüt, AbdülmecitThe current-voltage (I-V) measurements were performed in the temperature range (200-300 K) on Al/DNA/p-Si Schottky barrier type diodes. The Schottky diode shows non-ideal I-V behaviour with ideality factors n equal to 1.34 ± 0.02 and 1.70 ± 0.02 at 300 K and 200 K, respectively, and is thought to have a metal-interface layer-semiconductor (MIS) configuration. The zero-bias barrier height Φb determined from the I-V measurements was 0.75 ± 0.01 eV at 300 K and decreases to 0.61 ± 0.01 eV at 200 K. The forward voltage-temperature (VF-T) characteristics were obtained from the I-V measurements in the temperature range 200-300 K at different activation currents (IF) in the range 20 nA-6 μA. The VF-T characteristics were linear for three activation currents in the diode. From the VF-T characteristics at 20 nA, 100 nA and 6 μA, the values of the temperature coefficients of the forward bias voltage (dV F/dT) for the diode were determined as -2.30 mV K-1, -2.60 mV K-1 and -3.26 mV K-1 with a standard error of 0.05 mV K-1, respectively.Öğe I-V-T analysing an inhomogeneous Au/Poly(4-vinyl phenol)/p-Si structure with a double gaussian distribution of barrier heights(Springer Nature, 2010-12-29) Pakma, Osman; Tozlu, Cem; Kavasoğlu, Neşe; Kavasoğlu, Abdülkadir Sertap; Özden, ŞadanIn this study, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Au/Poly(4-vinyl phenol)/p-Si structures have been measured over a wide temperature range (100-300 K). These structures have been analyzed according to thermionic emission (TE) theory, as a result of which an abnormal decrease occurred in the zero-bias barrier height (φb0) and an increase in the ideality factor (n) was observed with temperature decrease and nonlinearity in the activation energy plot. By assuming a Gaussian distribution (GD) of barrier heights of the Au/Poly(4-vinyl phenol)/p-Si structures, barrier inhomogeneities are believed to responsible for this behavior. Evidence is given for the existence of a double GD with mean barrier heights (φ̄b0) of 1.042 and 0.623 eV, standard deviations of 0.138 and 0.081 V, and ideality factors 2.76 and 7.26, which remain effective in the temperature ranges of 180-300 and 100-160 K, respectively. As a result, without using the temperature coefficient of the barrier height, the modified ln(Io/T 2)-q2σo 2/2(kT)2 vs. q/kT plot gives φ̄b0 values and Richardson constants (A *) as 1.036 and 0.623 eV, and 36.20 and 19.99 A/cm2 K2, respectively. The effective Richardson constant value of 36.20 A/cm2 K2 is very similar to the theoretical value of 32 A/cm2K2 for p-Si. Consequently, the temperature dependence of the forward bias I-V characteristics of Au/Poly(4-vinyl phenol)//p-Si (MIS) structure could be attributed to the thermionic emission (TE) mechanism with double GD of the barrier heights.
