The purpose of this study is to investigate the laminar film condensation phenomenon of steam on a vertical tier of multiple spherical surfaces by using both analytical and experimental methods. The analytical heat transfer results were obtained by following the Nusselt type of analysis and represented graphically. In addition, in order to observe the real behavior of the film condensation, an experimental setup was manufactured and experiments were done. In analytical section; mass flow rate, (mean) velocity, film thickness, local heat flux and local heat transfer coefficient values were obtained and plotted as depending on angular position. Moreover, mean heat flux and mean heat transfer coefficient variations were presented with respect to diameter of the sphere and sub-cooling. On the other hand, for the experimental section, heat flux and mean heat transfer coefficient values were obtained and expressed as depending on sub-cooling. To see the effects of off-center angle, setup was inclined for different angles and experiments were repeated for each inclination angle. At the end of the study, mean heat transfer coefficients belong to analytical and experimental studies were compared to each other as well as to the literature.

Investigation of air bubble motion in water through a vertical narrow rectangular channel by using image processing techniques Özdemir, Sancak; Yeşin, Ahmet Orhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) This thesis presents the study of air bubble motion in stagnant water and in upward flowing water through a vertical narrow rectangular channel of 2.1X66.5 mm cross section by using image processing and analyzing techniques. The investigated bubble size range is 2 - 70 mm in area equivalent bubble diameter and mean water flow velocity is 0-25 cm/s. This study focuses on the quantitative assessment of bubble size (perimeter, area, volume, width and height), shape, path and rising velocity. The observed bubbl...
Calculation of the Dielectric Constant of a Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal From a Mean Field Model YURTSEVEN, HASAN HAMİT; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2011-01-01) The static dielectric constant epsilon(perpendicular to) of the ferroelectric liquid crystal 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'--heptyloxybiphenyl (A7) with high spontaneous polarization is calculated as a function of temperature using a mean field model. This calculation is performed close to the smectic A-isotropic liquid (SmA-I) transition for pure optically active compound (T-c = 81.6 degrees C). For this calculation of epsilon(perpendicular to), the free energy of the SmA phase is expanded in terms of...
Computer simulation of grain boundary grooving by anisotropic surface drift diffusion due to capillary, electromigration and elastostatic forces Akyıldız, Öncü; Oğurtanı, Tarık Ö.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010) The aim of this study is to develop a theoretical basis and to perform computational experiments for understanding the grain boundary (GB) grooving in polycrystalline thin film metallic conductors (interconnects) by anisotropic surface diffusion due to capillary, electromigration and elastostatic forces. To this end, irreversible thermo–kinetics of surfaces and interfaces with triple junction singularities is elaborated, and the resulting well-posed moving boundary value problem is solved using the front–tr...
Experimental investigation and modeling of dropwise condensation on a horizontal gold coated tube / Serdar, Orhan; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) The phenomenon dropwise condensation on a horizontal gold coated tube is investigated by both analytical and experimental methods in this study. A computer program is prepared to calculate the dropwise condensation heat transfer rate on the horizontal gold coated tube. An experimental setup was also manufactured to measure the dropwise condensation heat transfer rate. The effects of flow rate, temperature of cooling water and also steam to wall temperature difference have been analytically investigated by u...
Critical behavior of the spontaneous polarization and the dielectric susceptibility close to the cubic-tetragonal transition in BaTiO3 Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2015-09-01) Using Landau mean field model, the spontaneous polarization and the dielectric susceptibility are analyzed as functions of temperature and pressure close to the cubic-tetragonal (ferroelectric-paraelectric) transition in BaTiO3. From the analysis of the dielectric susceptibility and the spontaneous polarization, the critical exponents are deduced in the classical and quantum limits for BaTiO3. From the critical behavior of the dielectric susceptibility, the spontaneous polarization can be described for the ...
