The effect of temperature, soil and surface type on cleaning performance was investigated using newly developed cleaning rig in which the flow characteristic of cleaning solution was a falling film generated by impinging jet. The most common types of foods in dish-washers (spinach, egg yolk, milk, potato puree, minced meat, black tea, and margarine) were studied as soils and the main materials used in household utensils such as stainless steel, glass, porcelain, and plastic were tested as cleaning surfaces. The physicochemical properties of food components and surfaces had a major role in the development of soil -soil associations and the soil-surface interfacial interactions. It was observed that the strength of those interactions was determinant factor of soil removal mechanism which could be resulted in either by cohesive failure or both adhesive and cohesive failure. Regardless of soil type, when the temperature increased, better cleaning scores were obtained since the cleaning solution easily penetrated into soil which led to swelling of soil and reducing interfacial forces. Cleaning performance of soils was modeled using the results of 140 experimental points in Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The optimum temperature was determined for all surface-soil combinations as 56 degrees C, at which the cleaning scores were the closest to the cleaning performance at 70 degrees C. Moreover, it was observed that the experimental results of the cleaning at the optimum temperature were similar or better than the values estimated with the model. This study would be useful to develop an understanding on governing factors of cleaning which can be used in opti-mization of the cleaning process for energy efficient dishwashers.(c) 2022 Institution of Chemical Engineers.

Utilization of some industrial wastes as abrasive in surface preparation processes
Ataman, N.; Oezbayoglu, G. (2007-06-08)
Abrasive blast cleaning involves mechanical cleaning by the continuous impact of abrasive particles at high velocities on to the substrate using compressed air. Materials from different origins can be used as a blasting media including coal slag, smelter slag, mineral abrasives, metallic abrasives, and synthetic abrasives.
Improvement of adhesion between poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyethylene
Durgun, H; Bayram, Göknur (Informa UK Limited, 2005-01-01)
Three-layer films were prepared with polyethylene (PE) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films as the outer layers and a film of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) terpolymer blend as the inner layer using compression molding. E-MA-GMA, an elastomer containing an epoxy functional group, was used as the adhesion promoting agent in the multilayer films. The effects of processing temperature, pressure application time and elastomer concentration on a...
Improvement of mechanical and flame retardancy properties of biocomposites based on low density polyethylene and polylactic acid
Altun, Yasemin; Bayramlı, Erdal; Doğan, Mehmet Onur; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2015)
The main objective of this study was to improve the mechanical and flame retardant properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA) based biocomposites. Wood flour (WF) and jute fabric were used as the fillers. In the mechanical property improvement studies with LDPE, the effect of two compatibilizing agents MA (random terpolymer of ethylene, acrylic ester and maleic acid) and GMA (random terpolymer of ethylene, acrylic ester and glycidyl metacrylate) functionalized polymers at dif...
Evaluation of floor-wise pollution status and deposition behavior of potentially toxic elements and nanoparticles in air conditioner dust during urbanistic development
Ali, Muhammad Ubaid; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Ullah, Habib; Irshad, Samina; Ahmed, Rafay; Hussain, Mudassar; Rashid, Audil (2019-03-01)
The study was undertaken to investigate deposition behaviors of various size-segregated particles and indoor air quality using dust accumulated on the air conditioner filter acting as a sink for PTEs and nanoparticles that can pose a significant health risk. However, the particulate matter size and chemical composition in AC dust and its relationship with PTEs remains uncertain. Current study aims to investigate the PTEs and nanoparticles composition of AC dust using different analytical approaches includin...
Simulation of laminar microchannel flows with realistic 3D surface roughness
Akbaş, Batuhan; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Effects of flow development and surface roughness on the pressure drop characteristics of laminar liquid flowsinside microchannels are investigated numerically using OpenFOAM. Channels with square cross section of 500 μm×500 μmand length of 80 mm are studied. Top surface of the channels are artificially roughened using thespatial frequency methodto create 8 different roughness profiles. Scaling the relative roughness ({u1D700}) values of each profile to three different values (1.0, 2.5and5.0 %),a total of 2...
