Investigation of solidification and crystallization of iron based bulk amorphous alloys
Erdiller, Emrah Salim; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004)
The aim of this study is to form a theoretical model for simulation of glass forming ability of Fe ? Based bulk amorphous alloys, to synthesize Fe ? based multicomponent glassy alloys by using the predictions of the theoretical study, and to analyze the influence of crystallization and solidification kinetics on the microstructural features of this amorphous alloys. For this purpose, first, glass forming ability of Fe ? (Mo, B, Cr, Nb, C) ? X ( X = various alloying elements, selected from the periodic table...
Design of an axial flow fan for a vertical wind tunnel for paratroopers
Çevik, Fatih; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
Free fall is one of the important phases of the operation performed by the Special Forces paratroopers. Also civilian parachutists are performing free fall as a sport by doing aerobatic maneuvers when they reach the terminal velocity during falling before opening their parachutes. Vertical wind tunnels are used for training the parachutists and paratroopers. It is safe, cheap and more convenient when compared to jumping out of an airplane. This thesis consists of aerodynamic design of closed circuit, double...
Investigation of inertial support limits in wind turbines and the effects on the power system stability
Duymaz, Erencan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
In this study, the inertial support implementation is studied for variable speed wind turbines with a full-scale power electronics. To increase the active power as desired, Machine Side Converter is modified with an additional control loop. In the first part of the thesis, active power of the wind turbine is increased to the limits and the maximum achievable active power is found out to be restricted by the wind speed. It is found that the wind turbine can increase its output power by 40% of rated power in ...
Investigation of the relationship between aerosol and rainwater composition
Türküm, Ahmet; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2004)
Chemical composition of particles and rain water at three sites in Turkey were extensively compared to determine if there is a relationship between aerosol and rain composition. If such relationship exists, it can allow one to construct rain water composition using aerosol data. This is important because, rain composition data is scarce as sampling and analysis of very low concentrations of elements and ions in rain water is more difficult compared to sampling and analysis of atmospheric aerosol. Results sh...
Investigation of the effect of bending twisting coupling on the loads in wind turbines with superelement blade definition
Gözcü, Mehmet Ozan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this thesis study, the effect of off-axis plies in the spar caps of a wind turbine blade on the damage equivalent loads in a wind turbine system is investigated. The off-axis plies in the spar caps are exploited for load alleviation in the whole turbine system since the off-axis plies induced bending-twisting coupling into blades of wind turbine. Damage equivalent load is used to assess the effect of bend twist coupled blade on the fatigue load reduction in the whole wind turbine system. NREL's 5 MW turb...
