    An exergy analysis of a concentric tube heat exchanger using hBN-water nanofluids
    (Inder Science Publishers, 2021) Budak Ziyadanoğulları, Neşe; Perçin, Süleyman
    This study investigated the effects of using nanofluids prepared with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles on the thermal performance and pressure drop of a concentric tube heat exchanger. Experiments were carried out with water-hBN nanofluids for stable, dispersed, 0.01%, 0.1% and 1% volume concentrations, at different flow rates and Reynolds numbers under parallel and counter-flow conditions. When the experimental results were examined, the exergy loss was higher in the parallel-flow heat exchanger compared to the counter-flow heat exchanger. The highest exergy loss value was obtained for distilled water at the highest Reynolds number (Re = 8,700) for parallel flow operation at 170 W. The exergy loss of water at the highest Reynolds number (Re = 8,700) for parallel flow operation increased by 15.7%, 24.8% and 49.8% for hBN-water concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1% and 1%, respectively. Exergy loss of water at the highest Reynold number (Re = 8,700) for counter flow operation increased by 11.3%, 17.3% and 29.2% for hBN-water concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1% and 1%, respectively. When evaluating the exergy analysis of the system, exergy losses due to pressure drops were negligible for both flows (parallel and counter).

    Hardness and wear behaviours of al matrix composites and hybrid composites reinforced with B 4 C and SiC
    (Springer Nature, 2019-01-15) Çelik, Yahya Hışman; Kılıçkap, Erol
    The conversion into the desired shape of the metal powders using Powder Metallurgy (PM) method enables economically mass productions. This case allows producing parts with complex and high dimensional accuracy with no machining. In this study the composites and hybrid composites with Al matrix were produced using PM method with different ratios B4C and SiC. Microhardness and wear experiments of the produced composites were investigated. Wear experiments were performed at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s, application loads of 5, 10 and 15 N and sliding distances of 250, 500, and 750 m. Then, SEM images of composites and hybrid composites were captured. The increase of the reinforcement ratio in the composites contributed to the increase of the hardness. The highest hardness value was computed as 58.7 HV from 16% B4C reinforced composite. In addition, the increase in the reinforcement ratio contributed to the increase of the wear resistance. The increase in the load and sliding distance also increased the wear. The minimum weight loss was calculated as 18 mg from 5 N load, 250 m sliding distance and 16% SiC reinforced composite.

    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.

    Finite element analysis of the stress distributions in peri-implant bone in modified and standard-threaded dental implants
    (Taylor & Francis, 2016-01) Topkaya, Tolga; Dündar, Serkan; Solmaz, Murat Yavuz; Yaman, Ferhan; Atalay, Yusuf; Saybak, Arif; Asutay, Fatih; Çakmak, Ömer
    The aim of this study was to examine the stress distributions with three different loads in two different geometric and threaded types of dental implants by finite element analysis. For this purpose, two different implant models, Nobel Replace and Nobel Active (Nobel Biocare, Zurich, Switzerland), which are currently used in clinical cases, were constructed by using ANSYS Workbench 12.1. The stress distributions on components of the implant system under three different static loadings were analysed for the two models. The maximum stress values that occurred in all components were observed in FIII (300 N). The maximum stress values occurred in FIII (300 N) when the Nobel Replace implant is used, whereas the lowest ones, in the case of FI (150 N) loading in the Nobel Active implant. In all models, the maximum tensions were observed to be in the neck region of the implants. Increasing the connection between the implant and the bone surface may allow more uniform distribution of the forces of the dental implant and may protect the bone around the implant. Thus, the implant could remain in the mouth for longer periods. Variable-thread tapered implants can increase the implant and bone contact.

    Exhaust emissions of methanol and ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends in a spark ignition engine
    (VINCA Institute of Nuclear Sciences, 2013) Altun, Şehmus; Öztop, Hakan Fehmi; Öner, Cengiz; Varol, Yasin
    In this study, the effect of unleaded gasoline and unleaded gasoline blended with 5% and 10% of ethanol or methanol on the performance and exhaust emissions of a spark-ignition engine were experimentally investigated. The engine tests were performed by varying the engine speed between 1000 and 4000 rpm with 500 rpm period at three-fourth throttle opening position. The results showed that brake specific fuel consumption increased while brake thermal efficiency, emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon decreased with methanol-unleaded gasoline and ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends. It was found that a 10% blend of ethanol or methanol with unleaded gasoline works well in the existing design of engine and parameters at which engines are operating.

    An experimentally investigation of usability of a blend of tallow methyl ester and diesel fuel substitution of diesel fuel in diesel engines
    (Gazi Üniversitesi, 2010-07-06) Aydın, Hüseyin; Altun, Şehmus; Öner, Cengiz; Yücel, Halit Lutfi
    Biodiesel fuels is one of the most attractive alternative fuels to reduce both emissions and petroleum based fuel consumption resulted from diesel engines. Therefore, the effects of biodiesel fuels on long-term engine operation and deposits in engine are considerably important, when biodiesel was evaluated as the alternative fuel for diesel engines. In this study, a 100 h engine test was performed on a single cylinder diesel engine using diesel fuel and tallow methyl ester as biodiesel fuel in order to compare the effects of the fuels on engine operation and deposits. The biodiesel was blended with 80 vol% diesel fuel and 20 vol % tallow methyl ester. Also, short-term engine performance and emissions were investigated and compared using both fuels. The test engine was disassembled before and after the experiment to determine the difference and clean carbon deposits. Experimental results were similar for both fuels in long-term engine tests, and indicated that the engine was satisfactorily operated for 100 hours with blend fuel. Deposits in engine at the end of the 100 h test were comparable in amount, but slightly different in color and adhesive, with the blend fuel when compared with those of diesel fuel. Besides, the blend fuel was comparable with the performance of diesel fuel and the exhaust emissions were lower than that of diesel fuel. It is concluded at the results of engine tests; the blend fuel can be a suitable alternative fuel for diesel engines to substitute diesel.

    Investigation of the effect of different variables on strength of adhesive joints
    (WILEY, 2014-10-01) Adin, Hamit; Deniz, Mehmet Emin
    In this article, the tensile strength of different adhesive bonded joints under a tensile load was analyzed numerically. The effects of certain parameters, including the bonding length and bonding ratio, were investigated. For this reason, the epoxy adhesive was used. Joints were prepared with aluminum materials. The stress analyses were employed using the Finite Element Method (FEM). ANSYS (v.14.0.1) FEM tool was utilized to investigate the stress distribution characteristics of aluminum lap joint under tensile loading. Numerical results were found to be quite reasonable. The numerical results show that the influences of variations are very notable when the equivalent stresses are between 18 MPa and 20 MPa. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

    The investigation of the tensile behaviors of single L-joint type bonded with adhesive and rivet
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-08) Adin, Hamit; Kurtkan, Ümit
    n this study, tensile behaviour of single “L” type joints was investigated experimentally and numerically. Aluminium pieces with 2 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm thicknesses were used as joint materials. Overlap lengths were chosen as 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm. Joints were executed with two different rivets as steel and aluminium and 3 M 2216 epoxy based adhesive. Experiments were carried out by means of Shimadzu universal testing machine with 5 kN load cell. While the numerical study was carried out, using ANSYS Workbench, finite element analysis program, models were formed with the same properties as experimental works. Results showed that the samples with 20 mm overlap length had the highest strength of all models. Models with steel rivet had higher strength than models with aluminium rivets for all overlap lengths.

    Investigating the effects of cutting parameters on the hole quality in drilling the Ti-6Al-4V alloy
    (Materiali in Tehnologije, 2014-10) Çelik, Yahya Hışman
    In this study, the effects of cutting parameters on the surface roughness, burr height, hole-diameter deviation, cutting temperature and structure of a chip formation were investigated during the drilling of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. For this purpose, the Ti-6Al-4V alloy was drilled at different cutting parameters, longitudinally in the 10 mm depth with Ø = 10 mm high-speed-steel (HSS) drills, having 90°, 118°, 130° and 140° point angles on the CNC vertical machining centre. Experiments were carried out at the (12.5, 18.75 and 25) m/min cutting speeds and the (0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) mm/r feed rates without using the cutting fluid. As a result, as the feed rate and the drill-point angle were increased, the surface roughness increased as well; however, as the cutting speed increased, the surface roughness decreased. When the feed rate and drill-point angle increased, the burr height decreased. On the other hand, an increase in the cutting speed increased the burr height. In general, an increase in the feed rate and drill-point angle increased the hole diameters, and the hole diameters obtained were close to the nominal size when the cutting speed was increased.

    Experimental investigation of thermal performance in a concentric tube heat exchanger with wavy inner pipe
    (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.
