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

Development of an automatic design and analysis tool for axial compressors Kündeş, Necmettin Anıl; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Baran, Özgür Uğraş; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) In this thesis, an automatic design and analysis tool is developed for the design of an axial flow compressor and to check the required design conditions of the designed compressor by using three dimensional CFD analyses automatically. The developed tool mainly consists of six parts which are mean line design, calculations based on radial equilibrium theory, parametrization, generation of three dimensional blade geometry, mesh generation and solver. A new design study for an axial flow compressor begins wit...
DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATIC DESIGN AND ANALYSIS TOOL FOR AXIAL FLOW COMPRESSORS Kundes, Necmettin Anil; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2019-01-01) This paper presents a new design and analysis tool that is developed to be employed during the design process of axial flow compressors. The tool chain implemented by this design tool consists of five parts: a mean-line design tool, followed by a blade geometry parametrization tool. Then 3D blade geometry is created, next a high quality structured mesh is generated and completed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution. All components employed in the new tool are either new developments, or achieved b...
Demonstration of a stabilized hovering platform for undergraduate laboratory Çamlıca, Fahri Buğra; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) This research work covers the design, manufacture and testing of an unmanned aerial vehicle for the purpose of testing various control systems by undergraduate students in the laboratory environment. The aerial vehicle under consideration is a four-rotor propeller powered. Aluminum rod based mechanical structure is preferred. The stabilization of the hovering vehicle in its rotational axes in the air and navigation about the yaw axis are the accomplished goals of this study. The aerial vehicle is run in rea...
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...
