This study presents an experimental investigation on the use of additives and plaster mesh in adobe wall panels. Three different groups of adobe soil mixture are considered for forming adobe blocks in wall panels with and without mesh placement along horizontal mortar joints. The groups consist of plain adobe blocks, blocks with 1% straw and 10% fly ash. Wall panels are loaded under diagonal compressive axial load in order to evaluate their ultimate load capacities, deformability, and energy absorption characteristics. According to the results obtained from tests, the combined use of plaster mesh with additives enhances the structural behavior significantly.

Investigation of Combustion Kinetics of Five Waste Wood Samples with Thermogravimetric Analysis Yorulmaz, Sema Yurdakul; Atımtay, Aysel (2007-02-24) In the present study, combustion mechanisms, thermal kinetics, and phases of combustion were investigated for untreated pine and treated MDF, plywood and particleboard samples. Waste wood samples were combusted in air at 10, 20 and 30 degrees C/min heating rates in TGA. As a result of TG analysis, thermal decomposition of treated samples was observed at lower temperatures as compared to the untreated pine sample because of the catalyzing effects of the chemicals in the samples. Therefore, there were less fl...
Measurement of fractal properties of soot agglomerates in laminar coflow diffusion flames using thermophoretic sampling in conjunction with transmission electron microscopy and image processing Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Campbell, A; Lee, KO; Choi, MY (2001-01-01) Aerosol property measurements including primary particle, radius of gyration, and number of primary particles per agglomerate have been performed for soot collected thermophoretically from the soot annulus at selected heights of laminar ethene/air, methane/air, and methane/oxygen diffusion flames and analyzed using a digital image processing technique. The fractal dimension D, and prefactor term k(f) calculated front these measurements were used to determine whether there exists it universality of these pro...
Investigation of emissions from thermal oxidation of waste wood samples using spectral methods YURDAKUL, Sema; Atımtay, Aysel (2015-01-01) The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of chemical treatment and heating rate on the emissions released from various waste wood samples including untreated pine and chemically treated MDF, plywood and particleboard after thermal treatment. Emission characteristics of the samples were determined in situ by using their FTIR spectra. Some toxic and carcinogenic gases such as formaldehyde, isocyanate, ammonia and phenyl group were detected in emissions from low temperature combustion of trea...
Characterization of gas-solid flow in conical spouted beds operating with heavy particles Sari, Salih; Külah, Görkem; KÖKSAL, MURAT (2012-07-01) This study presents the results of an experimental investigation of the hydrodynamics of conical spouted beds operating with high density particles. This type of spouted beds is frequently encountered in chemical vapor deposition coating of nuclear fuel elements. Measurements were performed in three 15 cm ID full circular (gamma = 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees) and one half circular conical spouted (gamma = 30 degrees) bed with yttria-stabilized zirconia particles (d(p) = 0.5, 1 mm; rho(p) = 6050 kg/m(...
Enhancement of the Thermal Energy Storage Using Heat-Pipe-Assisted Phase Change Material Behi, Hamidreza; Behi, Mohammadreza; Ghanbarpour, Ali; Karimi, Danial; AZAD, ARYAN; Ghanbarpour, Morteza; Behnia, Masud (2021-10-01) Usage of phase change materials' (PCMs) latent heat has been investigated as a promising method for thermal energy storage applications. However, one of the most common disadvantages of using latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) is the low thermal conductivity of PCMs. This issue affects the rate of energy storage (charging/discharging) in PCMs. Many researchers have proposed different methods to cope with this problem in thermal energy storage. In this paper, a tubular heat pipe as a super heat condu...
