Toppare, Levent Kamil
In this work, semi-empirical quantum mechanical techniques were employed in order to discuss the feasibility of the copolymerization reaction between tetrahydrofuran and pyrrole starting from two different macromonomers in which polytetrahydrofuran has a pyrrole moiety at one or both ends.

Analysis of single phase convective heat transfer in microchannels with variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity
Gözükara, Arif Cem; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
In this study simultaneously developing single phase, laminar and incompressible flow in a micro gap between parallel plates is numerically analyzed by including the effect of variation in thermal conductivity and viscosity with temperature. Variable property solutions for continuity, momentum and energy equations are performed in a coupled manner, for air as a Newtonian fluid. In these analyses the rarefaction effect, which is important for the slip flow regime, is taken into account by imposing slip veloc...
Quantum mechanical calculation of nitrous oxide decomposition on transition metals
Karaöz, Muzaffer Kaan; Önal, Işık; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
Nitrous oxide decomposition on Ag51, Au51, Pt22, Rh51 and Ir51 clusters representing (111) surface were studied quantum mechanically by using the method of ONIOM with high layer DFT region and low layer of molecular mechanics region utilizing universal force field (UFF). The basis set employed in the DFT calculations is the Los Alamos LANL2DZ effective core pseudo-potentials (ECP) for silver, gold, platinum, rhodium and iridium and 3-21G** for nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. Nitrous oxide was decomposed on t...
Simulation of carbon nanotube junction formations
Tasci, E; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Erkoc, S (2003-09-12)
In this work we have examined the possible formation of a junction between two identical C(10,0) carbon nanotubes. One of the tubes was rotated 90 degrees with respect to the other. Simulation have been performed by means of a molecular-dynamics technique at 1K. For this purpose, we have introduced two stiff layers of graphite positioned above and below the nanotubes. By moving these layers we have created an effective force pushing the tubes closer to each other. In this simulation we have used a semi-empi...

Tekin, Emine Deniz (Calisir); ERKOÇ, Figen; YILDIZ, İLKAY; Erkoç, Şakir (2008-07-01)
The structural, vibrational and electronic properties of warfarin sodium, warfarin and its metabolites have been investigated theoretically by performing the molecular mechanics (MM+ force field), the semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular-orbital (AM1), and density functional theory calculations. The geometry of the molecules have been optimized, the vibrational dynamics and the electronic properties of the molecules have been calculated in their ground state in gas phase.
MODELING OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOLIDIFICATION OF A FINITE CYLINDER
ODABAŞI, Gülnihal; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2016-01-01)
Two-dimensional solidification problem of a finite cylinder, in which the liquid phase is initially at the fusion temperature, is solved by using a front fixing approach. The external surfaces of the cylinder are subjected to a temporally or spatially varying temperature below freezing. The method employed is based on one used for the solution of a solidification problem in Cartesian domain. A coordinate transformation is applied in both radial and axial directions to obtain a square computational domain. T...
