    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.

    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.

    New voltammetric strategy for determination and electrochemical behaviors of metformin by pencil graphite electrode in the NaOH
    (Indian Chemical Society, 2020) Altunkaynak, Yalçın; Yavuz, Ömer; Levent, Abdulkadir
    Metformin(MET), an oral antidiabetic drug commonly used in the treatment of diabetes, is a drug that increases insulin sensitivity in the biguanide group [1]. MET shows its pharmacological effect by lowering the glucose level in the blood. In the literature research, there are studies using electrochemical techniques for the analysis of MET in biological fluid and drug forms[1-6]. In this study, the electrochemical properties of MET, one of the drugs used in the treatment of diabetes, were performed using a pencil graphite electrode in NaOH (0.1 M) solution. This compound was recorded with an irreversible and diffusion controlled adsorption oxidation peak at approximately +1.28 V by cyclic voltammetry. With square wave stripping voltammetry, it was observed that the peak current signals of MET in the concentration range of 2.76-24.8 µM in 0.1M NaOH solution increased linearly. At a concentration of 2.76 µM (n = 9), the limit of detection and relative standard deviation were calculated as 9.03 nM (1.495 ngmL-1 ) and 3.25 %, respectively. This method has been successfully applied for MET analysis in pharmaceutical preparations and urine samples without any separation.

    (Türk Isı Bilimi ve Tekniği Derneği, 2017-10-31) Argunhan, Zeki; El, Emin; Yıldız, Cengiz; Çakmak, Gülşah
    Solar still is a more practical way of obtaining clean water. In this study, we aimed to improve the efficiency of solar still systems and obtain distilled water at the same time. For this purpose, 5 different solar still systems were designed. Type 1; conventional solar still, Type 2; conventional solar still integrated with solar water heating collector and run via natural convection, Type 3; conventional solar still integrated with solar water heating collector and tubular heat exchanger and run via natural convection, Type 4; conventional solar still placed with plate heat exchanger and integrated with solar water heating collector and run via natural convection, Type 5; conventional solar still placed with plate heat exchanger and integrated with solar water heating collector and run via forced convection. In this study, the experiments were carried out on the parameters influencing the performance, the amount of distilled water obtained, and the efficiency of experiment settings designed in different types; and finally the results were presented. The amount of distilled water and efficiency of conventional solar still were 2389 ml and 51.47%, respectively. Maximum total amount of water and efficiency from natural convection systems were obtained from Type 4, and the values calculated were found as to be 5788 ml and 55.91%. Maximum amount of distilled water and the efficiency were obtained by utilizing forced convection system were found as to be 6068 ml and 58.99%, respectively.

    Plantago major protective effects on antioxidant status after administration of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene in rats
    (Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2011) Oto, Gökhan; Ekin, Suat; Özdemir, Hülya; Demir, Halit; Yaşar, Semih; Levent, Abdulkadir; Berber, İsmet; Kaki, Barış
    Aim: The present study was designed to evaluate effects of Plantago major extract on oxidative status in Wistar albino rats administrated 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Methods: Rats were divided into three equal groups of 6 animals each: Group 1 controls, group 2 treated with DMBA (100 mg/kg, single dose) and group 3 receiving the DMBA and the aqueous extract at 100 mg/kg/d for 60 days. Results: Significant decrease in catalase (P<0.05), carbonic anhydrase (p≤0.01), reduced glutathione (GSH) (P<0.01) and total protein (P<0.01) values was observed in the DMBA group compared with the healthy controls and DMBA + Plantago major groups. Conclusion: The results suggest preventive effects of Plantago major on DMBA induced oxidative damage in Wistar albino rats that might be due to decreased free radical generation.

    Archaeozoological study of a unique Late Neolithic pitfrom Tepecik-Çiftlik, central Turkey
    (Anthropozoologica, 2019-08-16) Gündem, Can Yumni
    The absence of written evidence from prehistoric periods makes it difficult to understand the origins of sacrifice or offering ceremonies. Archaeological finds from prehistoric periods are the only solid evidence for these acts and rituals. One probable case of animal sacrifice or offering in the Neolithic period has been found at the site of Tepecik-Çiftlik Höyük in central Turkey. This study is focused on a single unique pit, which contained only animal bones and was found in an open space. The contents clearly indicate that this pit can not be interpreted simply as mixed kitchen garbage since an almost complete cattle skeleton as well as sixteen left front leg remains from sheep were placed in the pit after a social, or more specifically, ritual act. Similar pit with similar content was found neither in the close region to Tepecik-Çiftlik nor within Anatolia. The main aim of this study is to introduce a special archaeological find group, those were left after certain prehistoric activity.

    The characteristic diode parameters in Ti/p-InP contacts prepared by DC sputtering and evaporation processes over a wide measurement temperature
    (World Scientific, 2017-06) Ejderha, Kadir; Asubay, Sezai; Yıldırım, Nezir; Güllü, Ömer; Türüt, Abdülmecit; Abay, Bahattin
    The titanium/p-indium phosphide (Ti/p-InP) Schottky diodes (SDs) have been prepared by thermal evaporation and DC magnetron sputtering deposition. Then, their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics have been measured in the sample temperature range of 100-400K with steps of 20K. The characteristic parameters of both Ti/p-InP SDs have been compared with each other. The barrier height (BH) values of 0.824 and 0.847 at 300K have been obtained for the sputtered and the evaporated SDs, respectively. This low BH value for the sputtered SD has been attributed to some defects introduced by the sputtered deposition technique over a limited depth in to the p-type substrate. The BH of the evaporated and sputtered diodes has decreased with the standard deviations of 58 and 64mV obeying to double-Gaussian distribution (GD) in 220-400K range, respectively, and it has seen a more sharper reduction for the BHs with the standard deviations of 93 and 106 mV in 100-220K range. The Richardson constant values of 89.72 and 53.24A(Kcm)-2 (in 220-400K range) for the evaporated and sputtered samples, respectively, were calculated from the modified ln(I0/T2)-q2σs2/2k2T2 vs (kT)-1 curves by GD of the BHs. The value 53.24A(Kcm)-2 for the sputtered sample in high temperatures range is almost the same as the known Richardson constant value of 60A(Kcm)-2 for p-type InP.

    Geochemical features of the Menteşe Formation dolostones (Rhaetian) in the Karacahisar-Kasımlar area (Isparta-Turkey)
    (SpringerLink, 2018-08) Dinç, Salih; Özkan, Ali Müjdat
    The purpose of this study is to determine the geochemical characteristics of the Menteşe dolostones (Rhaetian) in the west Taurus Mountains, Turkey. The isotope characteristics of the Menteşe dolostones show a variation in the δ18O values of the dolomites between + 1.35 and − 2.72‰ (VPDB) and a variation in the δ13C values of the dolomites between + 1.6 and + 3.33‰ (VPDB). Most of the Menteşe dolostone samples have positive oxygen isotope values; others have weak negative isotope values, which indicate early diagenetic development. In addition, oxygen, carbon, and strontium isotopes and trace element analyses suggest that these dolostones were probably resulted from insignificant recrystallizaion process than chemically similar fluids. Furthermore, Mn/Sr values of the Menteşe dolostones indicate that there is no significant diagenetic alteration. The total REE contents of the Menteşe Formation dolostones display a strong positive correlation with Si, Al, Fe, K, Ti, Ba, Rb and negative correlation with Mg, hence REE content is associated with in the first degree titanium-bearing minerals (probably sphene, rutile, anatase), second degree phosphate (apatite), and barium and rubidium-bearing minerals (probably barite). Ce anomalies versus Nd concentrations of the Menteşe dolostone samples indicate that these dolostones are formed in an anoxic environment. In addition, the K/Rb ratios of the Menteşe dolostones are not exposed to any metamorphism and indicate some diagenetic alteration. Calculated temperature values using δ18O values of the Menteşe dolostones yield precipitation temperatures of 17 to 42 °C, and suggest burial depths of 67 to 900 m. Sources of magnesium for dolomitization of the Menteşe Formation carbonates were most likely fluids from seawater and/or diagenetic brines (slightly modified seawater). The Menteşe dolostones formed as early diagenetic (Rhaetian to Cenomanian) in shallow burial areas at lower temperatures than seawater and/or diagenetic brines (slightly modified seawater).
