This thesis presents and discusses the production and direct current motor performances of walking draglines from equipment excavating ease perspective operating at some Turkish surface coal mines based on the on-board monitoring research carried out with portable laboratory type monitor. The thesis investigates and interprets interactive excavating energy consumption of the equipment at ground engagement as a reaction of equipment to varying bench digging conditions; analyzes cycle time and energy components and bucket fill phase segments. This interactive excavating effort can be determined by recording armature voltage and current feedback signals of direct current drive motors of walking draglines. It also reviews and discusses the earlier studies on the topic. It seeks the interactive excavating energy parameters that may reflect the equipment excavability best and investigates and discusses the compatibility of the excavating parameters of the draglines monitored and searches the criteria for comparability of the parameters. inFurthermore, it studies the relationships among the interactive energy consumption parameters, production parameters, equipment, bench and powder parameters by plotting various parameters against each other over a specified time period and performing linear regression analysis, if applicable. According to the study, compatible dragline parameters are specific excavating energy, time normalized specific excavating energy, specific drag-in energy consumption, drag energy consumption percentage of full cycle, Based on the compatible parameters, site and equipment specific, excavating ease classifications are proposed. The research verifies that energy consumption parameters of draglines at work do reflect the relative ease of excavation encountered at the bench face, indirectly.

Öztürk, Buğrahan; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-9-1)
This thesis study aims to observe the ambient turbulence intensity effects on the wake development of a model wind turbine and a matched porous disc. Comprehensive wind tunnel experiments are conducted in the wake of the model wind turbine and the porous disc up to 7 diameters downstream through two-dimensional two-component particle velocimetry. The wakes of the model wind turbine and the porous disc are investigated in terms of the mean flow field, turbulence, wake decay, and wake spreading characteristic...
Computational analysis of a solar vortex
Mohiuddin, Abdullah; Uzgören, Eray; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2015-3)
This thesis investigates power generation opportunities by considering computational analysis of an experimental setup which is initially proposed to mimic dust devils in a controlled environment. The concept relies on buoyancy effect over a heated plate surrounded by vertical thin plates or vanes. Once the heated air starts rising, vertical vanes help surrounding air to flow inwards in a direction tangential to the vortex core to introduce swirl to the flow. Present study focuses on the computational fluid...

Investigation of the effect of structural damping on wind turbine wind-induced fatigue loads
Kocan, Cagri; Özgen, Gökhan Osman (2022-09-01)
This paper presents a quantitative investigation of the effect of structural damping ratios of the tower and blade vibration modes of wind turbines on wind-induced fatigue loads at critical blade and tower sections. Fatigue loads are used as a relative measure of fatigue life in wind turbine design applications. By increasing the structural damping ratio of each one of the critical structural modes which highly contribute to the overall vibration response, short-term and lifetime fatigue loads at critical t...
Evaluation of hybridsolar-wind-hydrogenenergy system based on methanol electrolyzer
Budak, Yagmur; DEVRİM, YILSER (Wiley, 2020-10-01)
In this study, it is aimed to meet the annual electricity and heating needs of a house without interruption with the photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, methanol electrolyzer, and high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell system. The system results show that the use of the 2 WT with 18 PV was enough to provide the need of the methanol electrolyzer, which provides requirements of the high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The produced heat by the fuel cell was used to meet the heat requ...
