The effect of thermal neutron irradiation due to the B10(n, α)Li7 reaction on the elastic wave velocities and the elastic moduli of tourmaline crystals has been studied. Oriented tourmaline samples have been irradiated with thermal neutrons to 7.6 × 1018n/cm2 and the elastic wave velocities determined by ultrasonic measurements. The elastic wave velocities are not affected by thermal neutron irradiation below 8 × 10l7n/cm2, effects starting to appear at approximately 1 × l018n/cm2 with more important decreases of the elastic wave velocities and of the bulk moduli at fluences of 2.9 × 10l8n/cm2 and 4 × 10l8n/cm2. The decrease of the bulk moduli of the irradiated tourmalines is compared with that of metamict zircons. X-ray diffraction of the irradiated specimens indicates that tourmaline remains crystalline up to a thermal neutron fluence of 7.6 × 1018n/cm2.

Effect of roughness on flow measurements in sloping rectangular channels with free overfall Fırat, Can Ersen; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) The characteristics of the subcritical, critical and supercritical flows at the rectangular free overfall were studied experimentally to obtain a relation between the brink depth and the flow rate. A series of experiments were conducted in a tilting flume with wide range of flow rate and two bed roughness in order to find the relationship between the brink depth, normal depth, channel bed slope and bed roughnesses. An equation was proposed to calculate the flow rate if only the brink depth, roughness, and c...
A Five Layer One-Dimensional PEMFC Model with Detailed Electrode Kinetics Ficicilar, B.; Eroğlu, İnci; Nguyen, T. V. (2010-10-01) In this study, a non-isothermal, two-phase, one-dimensional, and steady state proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell model is developed to investigate the detailed electrode kinetics in the anode and cathode catalytic regions and the effects of these reaction mechanisms on the performance of a PEM fuel cell. Langmuir-Butler-Volmer (LBV) type reaction rate expressions are suggested for both anode and cathode electrochemical reactions. A two-phase energy balance approach is used to catch the thermal transpo...
Effect of Gas Diffusion Layer Characteristics and Addition of Pore-Forming Agents on the Performance of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells Senguel, Erce; Erkan, Serdar; Eroğlu, İnci; BAÇ, NURCAN (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The performance of five layer membrane electrode assemblies having different characteristics of gas diffusion layers was determined at 70 degrees C cell temperature and ambient pressure. The maximum power density at 0.6 V was 0.36 W/cm(2) for the membrane electrode assembly prepared with the gas diffusion layer having minimum thickness (SGL BC 30 type). On the other hand, the maximum power density at 0.5 V was 0.44 W/cm(2) for the membrane electrode assembly prepared with SGL BC 34 type gas diffusion layer....
Effect of temperature and isomorphic atom substitution on optical absorption edge of TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals (0.25 <= x <= 1) Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2010-05-01) The optical properties of the TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals (0.25 <= x <= 1) have been investigated through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The optical indirect band gap energies were determined by means of the analysis of the absorption data. It was found that the energy band gaps decrease with the increase of selenium atoms content in the TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals. The transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K reve...
Hydrogen gadolinium pyrophosphate (HGdP2O7) preparation and X-ray diffraction data Kızılyallı, Meral (Elsevier BV, 1987-1) The preparation of hydrogen gadolinium pyrophosphate and its X-ray diffraction data are reported in the present work. The acid pyrophosphate was prepared from sodium pyrophosphate and an acidic solution of gadolinium chloride. Its X-ray diffraction patterns at different temperatures are given. It was found that sodium cerium and sodium gadolinium pyrophosphates cannot be prepared by this method. Comparison of IR spectra of the products showed that the peaks in the 1200–1400 cm−1 region could be attributed t...
