Numerical investigation of bubbling fluidized bed to be used as high temperature thermal energy storage
Hiçdurmaz, Serdar; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017)
A thermal energy storage unit designed to be used in a solid particle concentrated solar energy system is analysed with the help of a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics tool. Hydrodynamics of the bubbling fluidized sand bed of which dimensions are 0.28 m x 1 m x 0.025 m to be used as direct contact heat exchanger are modelled and validated. Geldart B type particles with diameter of 275 micron and density of 2500 kg/m3 are used in modelling of bubbling fludized sand bed. Syamlal O’Brien drag model with ...
High efficiency combined - cycle gas polygenerator for ecological local generation (HEGEL)
Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih(2009-4-30)
Objective is to develop, demonstrate and assess an innovative, high efficiency concept of micro-cogeneration system applied to a real demand site under real operating conditions. The application concept is based on a combined cycle architecture (Combi system) constituted by two integrated cogenerators powered by different prime movers: an innovative reciprocating engine cogenerator and a Rankine engine system (bottoming cycle) operated on the exhaust gases of the reciprocating engine. The location will b...
Aerodynamic analysis of long-span bridge cross-sections using random vortex method
Kaya, Halil; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, two dimensional, incompressible, viscous flow past bluff bodies and a bridge section, in which strong vortex shedding and unsteady attribute of flow are generally found, is simulated by means of random vortex method. The algorithm and method are described in detail. The validation and applicability of the developed numerical implementation to general wind engineering problems is illustrated by solving a number of classical problems, such as flow past circular and square cylinders. An applica...
Experimental investigation of single phase liquid flow and heat transfer in multiport minichannels
Altınöz, Mesru; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
This thesis aims to experimentally investigate pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of single phase water flow in rectangular minichannels. The small channels are an area of interest in heat transfer field since 1970’s owing to their enhanced heat transfer characteristics. However, the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of these channels are not fully established as there is a wide number of studies in literature showing inconsistent results with each other. In order to investigate t...
Water soluble nickel(0) and cobalt(0) nanoclusters stabilized by poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid): Highly active, durable and cost effective catalysts in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane
Metin, Onder; Özkar, Saim (2011-01-01)
This paper reports the in-situ generation and catalytic activity of nickel(0) and cobalt(0) nanoclusters stabilized by poly(4-styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid), PSSA-co-MA, in the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). PSSA-co-MA stabilized nickel(0) (PSMA-Ni) and cobalt(0) nanoclusters (PSMA-Co) having average particle size of 2.1 +/- 0.6 and 5.3 +/- 1.6 nm, respectively, were generated by in-situ reduction of nickel(II) chloride or cobalt(II) chloride in an aquoues solution of NaBH(4)/H(3)NBH(3) in the pr...
