The primary purposes of this study are to examine the methods used in axial flow fan design, to perform these methods on the design of an axial fan, to develop a design application in order to reduce the design errors and spent time in the design process, and to determine the reliability of the application with numerical and experimental methods. This study is concerned with the design of axial flow fans. It provides detailed information about the design process — additionally, a design code is implemented. All of the empirical data regarding axial fan design are digitized, and an airfoil database is generated in order to use in the code. In order to determine the pre-validity of the design code, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are used. The aerodynamic characteristics of fans are examined in ANSYS CFX by using SST

Nanoscale Thermal Transport in Single, Bilayer Graphene, and Graphite
Gholivand, Hamed; Donmezer, Nazli (2016-10-12)
In this study, ab-initio calculations were performed to obtain phonon dispersions of single, bilayer graphene, and graphite structures. Using these dispersions single mode relaxation times, thermal conductivities, and mean free paths (MFPs) have been calculated. Finally, calculated variables were used to understand the effects of additional layers to thermophysical properties, phonon mode contributions to thermal conductivity, and the limits for ballistic-diffusive heat transfer of single, bilayer graphene,...
Design optimization of rocket nozzles in chemically reacting flows
Yumusak, M.; Eyi, Sinan (2012-07-30)
The objective of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design tool that can be used in chemically reacting flows. The flow analysis is based on the axisymmetric Euler and the finite rate chemical reaction equations. The finite rate chemistry model includes eight species and eleven reaction equations. These coupled equations are solved by using Newton's method. Both the numerical and the analytical methods are used to calculate the Jacobian matrices. Sensitivities are evaluated by using the adjoi...
