In this study, fall velocities of 174 regularly shaped angular particles-namely cylindrical, cubic, wedge-shaped prisms, and box-shaped prisms-made of five different materials were measured in calm water conditions in a cylindrical settling column. Reynolds numbers based on particle fall velocity and characteristic length were varied, in the range from 10(3) to 4.2 x 10(4). A new shape factor and characteristic length were defined from a transformed form of the original particle. Variation of experimentally obtained data of particle drag coefficient, C-D*, with Reynolds number, R*, as a function of newly defined shape factor and characteristic length was analyzed. Verification was made by using experimental data of irregular angular particles. The results showed that the fall velocity of any irregular angular particle could be estimated by using graphical curves obtained from the analysis of the regular angular particles.

Correlation between optical path modulations and transmittance spectra of a-Si : H thin films Akaoglu, B; Atilgan, I; Katircioglu, B (The Optical Society, 2000-04-01) The optical constants of plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposited amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film upon a transparent substrate are determined within the UV-visible region by measurement of the transmittance spectrum. Apart from thickness irregularities, the effects of vertical film inhomogeneities (refractive-index distribution) on the spectrum are discussed. In this respect, although consideration of any possible variation in thickness of the film within the area illuminated by the probe beam is suffi...
Measurement of sm electro-weak parameters in reactor antineutrino-electron scattering in texono experiment Deniz, Muhammed; Serin, Meltem; Department of Physics (2007) In this thesis a search for electron type neutrino-electron scattering cross-section and Weinberg Angle measurements were performed at KS Nuclear Power Station with 200 kg CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal detector located at a distance of 28 m from the 2.9 GW reactor core giving total flux of 6:52X10^12 cm^-2s^-1 in average at the experimental site. New analysis techniques and background suppression methods were developed. In the region of 3-8 MeV a measurement of SM cross section of (1:235+-0.577) XR_SM and W...
Effect of boundary conditions and workpiece geometry on residual stresses and microstructure in quenching process Gür, Cemil Hakan; Schuler, W (1996-11-01) In this study, the internal and residual stress states in quenched C60 steel cylinders are analyzed both numerically and experimentally in order to investigate the effects of boundary conditions (such as quench severity and temperature of quench bath) and specimen geometry Specimen geometry has been analyzed by introducing a hole in a cylinder arid varying hole diameter and its' eccentricity. In the numerical analysis, the finite element method is applied and both temperature gradients and Phase transformat...
Critical flow velocity in slurry transporting horizontal pipelines Kokpinar, MA; Göğüş, Mustafa (2001-09-01) A new empirical equation is proposed for predicting critical flow velocity in slurry-transporting horizontal pipelines. An analysis of the settling velocity of solid particles, including the effect of solid particle concentration, is under-taken because of this parameter's importance. This study builds on a previous study carried out to consider the settling velocity of a single solid particle in clear-water condition, which is actually different from the real physics of the hydrotransport phenomenon of the...
Effect of surface roughness in microchannels on heat transfer Turgay, Metin Bilgehan; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In this study, effect of surface roughness on convective heat transfer and fluid flow in two dimensional parallel plate microchannels is analyzed by numerically. For this purpose, single-phase, developing, laminar fluid flow at steady state and in the slip flow regime is considered. The continuity, momentum, and energy equations for Newtonian fluids are solved numerically for constant wall temperature boundary condition. Slip velocity and temperature jump at wall boundaries are imposed to observe the rarefa...
