Coupling PCM wallboard utilization with night Ventilation: Energy efficiency and overheating risk in office buildings under climate change impact Tamer, Tolga; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Baker, Derek Keıth; Akgül, Çağla (2023-11-01) The rising population and increasing thermal comfort expectations are expected to exacerbate the already high HVAC use in offices, which unavoidably places a strain on energy supply systems. Storing thermal energy by incor...
_The Investigation of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Sintered Bauxite and Sand Particles as Heat Transfer and Storage Media Uykun, Zeynep; Tarı, İlker; Baker, Derek Keıth (2023-10-06) The concept of using solid particles as heat transfer and storage medium has drawn interest in recent years with the advantages over the existing technologies. However, the behavior of particles in the commercial systems s...
Gradient-based optimization of micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver geometry and flow rate Akba, Tufan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Mengüç, M. Pınar (2023-02-01) This study focuses on the design optimization of a micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver by changing geometry and flow rate constrained by the volume, outlet air temperature, and outer surface temperature. The pressu...
A Simulation Tool for Renewable Energy Supported Buildings Kuru, Mustafa; Gökçül, Furkan; Ölmez, Burak Behlül; Eicker, Ursula; Baker, Derek Keıth; Güğül, Gül Nihal; Geçer, Kenan; Güleç, Seda (2023-01-01) Many software have been developed to analyze buildings and renewable energy systems. Generally, more than one software is used for the visual interface, energy simulation, optimization, and modeling of renewable energy sys...
Design Methodology Of A Concentrating Solar Volumetric Receiver Akba, Tufan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Mengüç, M. Pınar (2023-01-01) A volumetric receiver design process is proposed to respond wide range of power, outlet temperature, or mass flow rate needs. In the receiver model, concentrated solar radiation hits the inner surface cavity and heats the ...
Future performance evaluation of PCM integrated buildings under changing climate Tamer, Tolga; Baker, Derek Keıth; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Akgül, Çağla (2022-10-11) The high energy consumption and associated carbon emissions due to the heating and cooling of buildings create a heavy environmental burden. One of the cost-efficient solutions to reduce the heating and cooling demands i...
ODAKTR: Türkiye’de Odaklanmış Isıl Güneş Enerjisi Teknoloji Geliştirme ve Ağ Oluşturma Faaliyetleri Erden Topal, Yelda; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth; Tarı, İlker (2022-06-01)
Modeling heat exchangers with an open source DEM-based code for granular flows Johnson, Evan F.; Tarı, İlker; Baker, Derek Keıth (Elsevier BV, 2021-11) Dense granular flows exist in many solid particle heat exchangers and solar receivers studied in the field of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP). By tracking particles individually with the Discrete Element Method (DEM), the ...
Development and Analysis of the Novel Hybridization of a Single-Flash Geothermal Power Plant with Biomass Driven sCO2-Steam Rankine Combined Cycle Mutlu, Balkan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (2021-6-01) This study investigates the hybridization scenario of a single-flash geothermal power plant with a biomass-driven sCO2-steam Rankine combined cycle, where a solid local biomass source, olive residue, is used as a fuel. The...
Radiative heat transfer in the discrete element method using distance based approximations Johnson, Evan F.; Tarı, İlker; Baker, Derek Keıth (2021-03-01) A model to estimate radiative heat transfer in particle beds is developed for use in the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Monte Carlo ray tracing simulations are run to find the Radiation Distribution Factor (RDF) between pa...
