In this study, a combined experimental and computational study for the design of a low water consumption cooling tower is performed. The purpose of the study is to reduce the water consumption without decreasing the efficiency of a typical cooling tower. To achieve this aim, it is necessary to enhance the homogeneity of mist/air mixture. For this purpose, firstly, an experimental set-up including a small scale wind tunnel is installed which provides opportunity to examine different inlet and outlet configurations easily.

A Road Map For CFD Modelling Of Forced Cooled Packages OZTURK, Emre; Tarı, İlker (2006-11-10) In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics, which has taken its position in the thermal design of electronic packages, was used in order to draw a CFD road map for forced cooling conjugate heat transfer analyses in heat generating electronic systems. The main sources of error in CFD analyses arise from inappropriate numerical models including turbulence models, radiation modeling and discretization schemes, insufficient grid resolution, and lack of convergence. A complete computer chassis model with heat s...
A methodology to assess suitability of a site for small scale wet and dry CSP systems Uzgoren, Eray; Timur, Eray (2015-06-25) This study presents a methodology to assess suitability of a site for small scale concentrated solar power (CSP) systems for its energy conversion efficiency and make-up water requirement. Energy conversion efficiency of CSPs relies not only on the level of direct solar radiation but also on the performance of the cooling system. Regions with high solar potential have to deal with heat rejection at elevated temperatures which causes reduced energy conversion efficiencies due to high condenser temperatures. ...
EVALUATION OF FLUX MODELS FOR RADIATIVE-TRANSFER IN RECTANGULAR FURNACES Selçuk, Nevin (1988-07-01) Three flux-type models for three-dimensional radiative heat transfer were applied to the prediction of the radiative flux density and the source term of a box-shaped enclosure problem based on data reported previously on a large-scale experimental furnace with steep temperature gradients. The models, which are a six-term discrete ordinate model and two Schuster-Schwarzschild type six-flux models, were evaluated from the viewpoints of both predictive accuracy and computational economy by comparing their pred...
A Comparative analysis of efficiency and carbon dioxide mitigation potential of residential heating systems in Bursa (Turkey) Evren, Nezih Enes; Balaban, Osman; Kılkış, Birol; Department of Earth System Science (2015) The main objective of this study is to develop a methodology by using the actual data of residential natural gas consumption in order to compare the efficiency levels of the three different residential heating systems. Such comparison is considered crucial to support better policy-making. Since final consumers are the subscribers of natural gas distribution companies regulated by Energy Market Regulatory Authority of Turkey, natural gas distribution market conditions and related regulations are taken into t...
A study on heat transfer inside the wellbore during drilling operations Apak, Esat Can; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006) Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature in a circulating well is the main objective of this study. Initially, an analytical temperature distribution model, which utilizes basic energy conservation principle, is presented for this purpose. A computer program is written in order to easily implement this model to different cases. Variables that have significant effect on temperature profile are observed. Since the verification of the analytical model is not probable for many cases, a computer program (ANSYS...
