RoPax ferries are designed for maximum efficiency, enabling smooth loading and unloading of cars, cargo and passengers. When optimising successful RoPax design, a compromise is always made between a light and compact hull geometry with diminished power requirement whilst providing substantial car and passenger capacities.

Analysis of flow structure in a helicopter cabin to improve the thermal comfort using cfd modeling Şahin, Doruk; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (null; 2019-09-20) Proper distribution of conditioned air inside the cabins of passenger transportation type aircrafts is crucial in terms of passengers? comfort. In the present study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models are developed using ANSYS FLUENT to investigate the thermal comfort levels of the passengers in a newly designed passenger transportation helicopter. The results reveal that the performance of the existing personalized air distribution system of the helicopter is inadequate to provide a comfortable envi...
An assessment of the CO2 emissions reduction in high speed rail lines: Two case studies from Turkey Dalkıç Melek, Gülçin; Balaban, Osman; TUYDES-YAMAN, Hediye; CELIKKOL-KOCAK, Tumay (2017-11-01) Transportation sector is one of the major emitters of greenhouse gases due to high consumption of fossil fuels in passenger and freight transportation. In recent years, high speed rail systems (HSR) have become an important policy option for intercity transportation in many countries, including Turkey, as they have relatively low emissions impact. Currently, the total HSR network in Turkey extends to 1213 km and connects 7 cities mostly located along a main HSR corridor. Annual ridership of the first two li...
A numerical simulation study on mixing of inert cushion gas with working gas in an underground gas storage reservoir Kilincer, N; Gumrah, F (2000-12-01) The cushion gas, providing the pressure energy necessary for withdrawal of working gas, makes up the largest part of the investment in underground gas storage projects. The suggested method of reducing this cost is the replacement of some part of the cushion gas with less expensive inert gas, such as nitrogen. In the replacement, there might be some problems due to mixing between natural gas and inert gas. Turkey has sharply increasing demand for natural gas. The constant imported gas and varying demand thr...
Analysis of flow structure in a helicopter cabin to improve the thermal comfort using computational fluid dynamics modeling Şahin, Doruk; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) Proper distribution of conditioned air inside the cabins of passenger transportation type aircrafts is crucial in terms of passengers’ comfort. Low air velocities may cause passengers to feel stuffy whereas high velocities may create disturbance. Moreover, satisfying uniform temperature distribution inside the cabin is also crucial for the passenger comfort. High temperature variation inside the cabin results in feeling of discomfort. In this thesis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models are developed u...
A Survey on Electric Vehicle Powertrain Systems Karamuk, Mustafa (2011-09-10) This study covers various aspects of powertrain systems for battery electric vehicles with main focus on front axes driven vehicles. A brief comparison of conventional and electrical powertrain regarding the driveability issues is presented in order to indicate the performance benefits of electrical machines into the vehicle applications. System level differences between internal combustion engine and electrical machine are given. As the most commonly used electrical machine types, a comparison of induction...
