As an effort to reduce Pd content, a combinatorial study was carried out on Pd-Ag system with the addition of Ni as a third element. A magnetron sputtering system was used to create a thin film material library using three sputter targets arranged in a triangular fashion. A total of 21 glass discs were used as a substrate onto which membranes typically 3 mu m thick were deposited, each with a different composition covering a wide compositional field in Pd-Ag-Ni ternary phase diagram. Membranes produced were screened by a four probe resistivity measurement in terms of a reactivity index, defined as the ratio of resistivity under hydrogen to that under argon in the same conditions. Mapping based on the resistivity measurements indicated three alloys, namely Pd33Ag59Ni8, Pd55Ag28Ni17 and Pd76Ag18Ni6 where the reactivity index were relatively high, implying that they could be possible membrane compositions. Foils were prepared with matching compositions by melting and casting followed by rolling to approximate to 100 mu m in thickness. This has shown that a permeability value of 6.50x10(-10) mol/m s Pa-1/2 could be obtained at 400 degrees C in Pd55Ag28Ni17 where Pd content is nearly two thirds of the commercial alloy Pd77Ag23.

Combinatorial development of nanocrystalline/amorphous (La,Sr)CoO3-(La,Sr)2CoO4 composite cathodes for IT-SOFCs Sari, Doğancan; Piskin, Fatih; Torunoglu, Ziya Cagri; Yasar, Bengisu; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Öztürk, Tayfur (2018-11-15) In this study, a combinatorial approach was used to develop cathode materials with improved performance at temperatures in the range 500-700 degrees C. A thin film composite cathode library was obtained by co-sputtering of LSC-113 and LSC-214 onto suitably positioned substrates each with controlled compositions. The cathode library was screened with an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using symmetric cells. The study showed that the compositions with volume fractions in the range 0.40 < LSC-214 < 0.60...
Comparison of the resource allocation cababilities of project management software packages in resource constrained project scheduling problems Hekimoğlu, Özge; Serpil, Canan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007) In this study, results of a comparison on benchmark test problems are presented to investigate the performance of Primavera V.4.1 with its two resource allocation priority rules and MS Project 2003. Resource allocation capabilities of the packages are measured in terms of deviation from the upper bound of the minimum makespan. Resource constrained project scheduling problem instances are taken from PSPLIB which are generated under a factorial design from ProGen. Statistical tests are applied to the results ...
Ti modified Pd-Ag membranes for hydrogen separation Piskin, Fatih; Akyildiz, Hasan; Öztürk, Tayfur (2015-06-29) An investigation was carried out into Pd-Ag separation membranes to check whether a reduction in their Pd content was possible through the incorporation of a third element, namely Ti. For this purpose a combinatorial thin film deposition system was developed incorporating three sputter targets arranged in triangular form. The system had a substrate in the form of a magazine, 6 inch in diameter, accommodating 21 discs arranged again in triangular form aligned with the targets underneath. With this geometry, ...
Combinatorial development of LSF-based cathode materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells Kılıç, Fahrettin; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2021-6) This thesis focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and processing of LSF based composite cathode for solid oxide fuel cells. The cathode comprises three oxides; LSM, LSF and ScSZ which are synthesized by co-sputtering using combinatorial approach. The electrolyte was Scandia doped Zirconia(ScSZ), as it has attractive ionic conductivity at lower temperatures. Having chosen the electrolyte ScSZ as electrolyte. After detailed analysis with regard to conductivity and thermal expansion for each oxide, the c...
Nb-Pd-Ti BCC thin films for hydrogen separation Piskin, Fatih; Öztürk, Tayfur (2019-02-15) An investigation was carried out into Nb-Pd-Ti ternary system to determine possible body-centered cubic (b.c.c.) membranes that can be used for hydrogen separation. A library of thin films was produced covering the greater portion of Nb-Pd-Ti ternary diagram using a combinatorial approach. The library was screened both structurally and in terms of a reactivity index defined as the ratio of the resistivity measured in the films under hydrogen and argon. The study showed that a substantial portion of composit...
