Rarefied choked flows in parallel-plate channels have been studied using the direct simulation Monte Carlo technique. Calculations are performed for various transitional flows, and results are presented for the computed flowfield quantities, wall pressures and discharge coefficients. Comparisons are made with the available experimental data, and the physical and numerical factors which affect the solutions are discussed. Separate calculations are performed for the "nearly-incompressible" rarefied channel flows in which density variations are small. The calculations of this study indicate that the DSMC simulations are well suited for determining transitional flows from free-molecule limit to laminar flow regime, but become prohibitive for turbulent channel flow simulations with today's computers.

Experimental research on in-tube condensation under steady-state and transient conditions Tanrikut, A; Yesin, O (2005-01-01) In this research study, in-tube condensation in the presence of air was investigated experimentally at a heat exchanger of countercurrent type for different operating conditions. The test matrix for the steady-state condition covers the range of pressures P = 1.8 to 5.5 bars, vapor Reynolds numbers Re, = 45 000 to 94 000, and inlet air mass fraction values Xi = 0 to 52%. The effect of air manifests itself by a reduction in the local heat flux and the local heat transfer coefficient. The local heat transfer ...
Polyimide and PEBAX flat and hollow fiber membranes for gas separation Özdemir, Nur Konçüy; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Department of Chemical Engineering (2017) This thesis analyzes the effect of polyimide (PI) hollow fiber membrane spinning conditions including dope solution flow rate, bore liquid flow rate, addition of more volatile solvent to dope solution, air gap height and heating zone temperature on the ideal gas separation performance and membrane morphology. The effect of PEBAX1657 coating of PI hollow fiber membrane was also investigated. The effect of incorporation of ZIF-8 crystals to PEBAX1657 flat sheet membrane, the effect of coagulant type for the p...
Terahertz Time-Domain Study of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by Laser Ablation in Organic Liquid Koral, Can; ORTAÇ, Bülend; Altan, Hakan (2016-07-01) We report the investigation of laser-synthesized Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in an organic liquid environment by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) technique. Colloidal Ag-NPs with an average diameter of 10 nm in two-propanol solution through nanosecond pulsed laser ablation were synthesized. THz-TDS measurements were performed on different volumetric concentration of Ag-NPs suspensions placed in 2-mm path length quartz cuvette. Due to the dispersive and highly absorptive nature of the nano li...
Numerical Improvement of Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopic Measurements Koseoglu, D.; Berberoglu, H.; Altan, Hakan (2009-11-06) We have developed an algorithm to efficiently eliminate unwanted reflections typically observed in the data obtained by Terahertz time-domain spectroscopic (THz-TDS) methods. The algorithm works by eliminating the reflections from the boundaries. The numerical improvement of the data allows better analysis of the critical parameters obtained by THz-TDS systems.
Effect of polyglycols on hydrate formation during drilling operations Tahir, Abbas N; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005) The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the inhibitive properties of polyglycol and polyglycol+KCl aqueous solutions on hydrate formation, which causes serious fluid flow problems, especially during deepwater drilling operations. As the petroleum industry continues to search oil in deeper and deeper seas, the possibility of facing hydrate problems during drilling operations increases because of the suitable conditions for hydrate formation. The main goal of this study is to investigate the hydr...
