The objective of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design optimization method for hypersonic vehicles focused on aerothermodynamic environments. Considering the nature of hypersonic flight, a high-fidelity aerothermodynamic analysis code is used for the simulation of weakly ionized hypersonic flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium. A gradient-based method is implemented for optimization. Bezier or nonuniform rational basis spline curves are used to parametrize the geometry or the geometry change. Linear elasticity theory is implemented for mesh deformation. Penalty functions are utilized to prevent undesired geometrical changes. The design objective is to minimize drag without increasing the total heat transfer rate and the maximum values of the surface heat flux, temperature, and pressure. Design optimizations are performed at different trajectory points of the IRV-2 vehicle. The effects of parametrizations, the number of design variables, and freestream conditions on design performance are studied.

Aerothermodynamic design optimization in hypersonic flows Eyi, Sinan (2013-09-16) The objective of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design tool that can be used in hypersonic flows. The flow analysis is based on the axisymmetric Euler and the finite rate chemical reaction equations. These coupled equations are solved by using Newton's method. The analytical and numerical methods are used to calculate Jacobian matrices. The effects of error in numerical Jacobians on the performance of flow and sensitivity analyses are studied. A gradient based numerical optimization is us...
Optimisation and design of PV modules for the application on bus roof-top and system integration for solar cooling DEMİRCİOĞLU, Olgu; ES, FIRAT; Çiftpınar, Emine Hande; ZEYBEK, Akin; TUNCER, Cahit; Turan, Raşit (2015-09-18) In this study, an external electrical cooling unit powered by PV modules was installed on the roof‐top of a bus to keep cooled interior atmosphere at a certain temperature level during the journey breaks. All solar cells used in this project were fabricated by Center for Solar Energy Research and Applications (GUNAM) and; then, integrated onto a bus roof together with MAN Turkey A.Ş. For integration of PV modules onto roof of bus, a reliable and commercially applicable method has been developed. Following i...
Aerothermodynamic shape optimization of hypersonic blunt bodies Eyi, Sinan (2015-07-03) The aim of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design tool that can be used in hypersonic flows. The flow analysis is based on the axisymmetric Euler/Navier-Stokes and finite-rate chemical reaction equations. The equations are coupled simultaneously and solved implicitly using Newton's method. The Jacobian matrix is evaluated analytically. A gradient-based numerical optimization is used. The adjoint method is utilized for sensitivity calculations. The objective of the design is to generate a h...
Normalized Thermodynamic Model for Intermittent Energy Systems and Application to Solar-Powered Adsorption Cooling Systems Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth; Kaftanoglu, Bilgin (International Centre for Applied Thermodynamics (ICAT), 2011-09-01) A new normalized model is developed to quantify and explore trends in coincidence of supply and demand in generic intermittent energy systems as key design and operating parameters are varied. This novel model is applied to seasonal-transient simulations for a solar-thermal powered adsorption system with and without heat recovery to investigate the coincidence between the solar-supplied cooling power and cooling load in terms of seasonal solar and loss fractions. Additionally, the system's basic performance...
Experimental study on the velocity limits of magnetized rotating plasmas Teodorescu, C.; Clary, R.; Ellis, R. F.; Hassam, A. B.; Lunsford, R.; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Young, W. C. (AIP Publishing, 2008-04-01) An experimental study on the physical limits of the rotation velocity of magnetized plasmas is presented. Experiments are performed in the Maryland Centrifugal Experiment (MCX) [R. F. Ellis , Phys. Plasmas 12, 055704 (2005)], a mirror magnetic field plasma rotating azimuthally. The externally applied parameters that control the plasma characteristics-applied voltage, external magnetic field, and fill pressure-are scanned across the entire available range of values. It is found that the plasma rotation veloc...
