The purpose of this thesis is to analyze protection measures against water hammer numerically and compare the results with measured field data of Yesilvadi HEPP project. Pressure relief valves are used as protective measure against water hammer in Yesilvadi HEPP project formulation. The hydropower system is investigated numerically with software, Bentley HAMMER, which uses method of characteristics for solving nonlinear equations of transient flow. Yesilvadi HEPP project is analyzed for load rejection, instant load rejection, load acceptance and load variation scenarios for three different cases which are system without a protection measure, the existing system including pressure relief valves, and system as if including a surge tank instead of pressure relief valves against water hammer. The pressure variations at the inlets of turbines, maximum and minimum hydraulic grade lines of the water transmission line and rotational speed of turbines are computed and compared with measured data for these three different cases. Eventually, the effectiveness of protection measures are compared and some suggestions are made for appropriate operation of existing pressure relief valves to either diminish or decrease the effects of water hammer in Yesilvadi HEPP project.

Performance evaluation of satellite- and model-based precipitation products over varying climate and complex topography
Amjad, Muhammad; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Yücel, İsmail; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2020-05-01)
Accuracy assessment of precipitation retrievals is a pre-requisite for many hydrological studies as it helps to understand the source and the magnitude of the uncertainty in hydrological response variables, particularly over regions with complex topography. This study evaluates GPM IMERGv05, TMPA 3B42V7, ERA-Interim, and ERA5 precipitation products using 256 ground-based gauge stations between 2014 and 2018 over Turkey known to have complex topography and varying climate. Error statistics, categorical perfo...
Computerized economic optimization of refrigeration system design
Usta, N; Ileri, A (1999-07-01)
The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of economic optimization of large capacity or industrial refrigeration systems and to present the results and conclusions obtained by a computer software which was developed specifically to determine the economic optimum values of the design parameters of refrigeration systems. Both liquid chillers and groups of cold storage rooms operating at various levels of low temperatures are covered. Various case studies and sensitivity analyses have been performed ...
Design optimization of rocket nozzles in chemically reacting flows
Yumusak, M.; Eyi, Sinan (2012-07-30)
The objective of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design tool that can be used in chemically reacting flows. The flow analysis is based on the axisymmetric Euler and the finite rate chemical reaction equations. The finite rate chemistry model includes eight species and eleven reaction equations. These coupled equations are solved by using Newton's method. Both the numerical and the analytical methods are used to calculate the Jacobian matrices. Sensitivities are evaluated by using the adjoi...
Comparison of prognostic and diagnostic surface flux modeling approaches over the Nile River basin
Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Zaitchik, Ben; Hain, Chris R.; Crow, Wade T.; Ozdogan, Mutlu; Chun, Jong Ahn; Evans, Jason (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2014-01-01)
Regional evapotranspiration (ET) can be estimated using diagnostic remote sensing models, generally based on principles of energy balance closure, or with spatially distributed prognostic models that simultaneously balance both energy and water budgets over landscapes using predictive equations for land surface temperature and moisture states. Each modeling approach has complementary advantages and disadvantages, and in combination they can be used to obtain more accurate ET estimates over a variety of land...
Periodic stationarity conditions for periodic autoregressive moving average processes as eigenvalue problems
Ula, TA; Smadi, AA (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1997-08-01)
The determination of periodic stationarity conditions for periodic autoregressive moving average (PARMA) processes is a prerequisite to their analysis. Means of obtaining these conditions in analytically simple forms are sought. It is shown that periodic stationarity conditions for univariate and multivariate PARMA processes can always be reduced to eigenvalue problems, which are computationally and analytically easier to deal with. Two different lumpings of the periodic process are considered along this li...
