Transient Analysis of Ship Flooding

Pamuk, Mehmet Turgay
In this analytical work, the transient behavior of a flooding cargo vessel is studied. Damaged underwater compartments, especially those at the keel depth, are very critical in terms of sudden stability change. While it is essential to know beforehand the amount of water flooding the compartment, thus the damaged stability, it may also be crucial to estimate the time for final damaged stability, as well as the air pressure accumulation and the temperature build-up in the watertight bulkhead. Calculations are performed using Ship Stability, Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer principles where air is assumed to be compressed isentropically due to incoming water. Proceeding the flood, the compressed thus heated up air dissipates its excess energy to the environment resulting in air volume decreasing an further flooding. At the end of these processes, the final steady state is attained, following the end of the transient behaviors of physical conditions.

Improving flow structure and natural convection within fin spacings of plate fin heat sinks
Özet, Mehmet Erdem; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
The main objectives of this thesis are to numerically investigate the previously observed recirculation zones and longitudinal vortices that occur in low fin height plate finned horizontal heat sinks and to improve the flow structures and heat transfer in these zones using various approaches with the help of simulations performed using commercially available CFD software. The approaches used for improvements are replacing the outer most fins with higher ones, introducing gaps on the length of the fins in va...
Experimental investigation and CFD analysis of rectangular profile FINS in a square channel for forced convection regimes
Ayli, Ece; Bayer, Özgür; Aradağ Çelebioğlu, Selin (2016-11-01)
Steady-state heat transfer from rectangular fin arrays is examined experimentally and numerically for turbulent fully developed flow. The effects of geometrical parameters on heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number are investigated. For different inter fin ratios, Reynolds number and Nusselt number dependence of the results is investigated. A generalized empirical correlation for Nusselt number is developed for rectangular fins for a Reynolds number range of 17 x 10(7) < Re < 2.47 x 10(8), and an aspec...
Numerical simulation of saltwater intrusion in a groundwater basin
EMEKLI, NUSRET; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; DOYURAN, VEDAT (1996-07-01)
The spatial and transient behavior of the coupled mechanism of saltwater and freshwater how throughout the Erzin, Turkey, groundwater basin was analyzed to forecast the position of the interface under a particular set of recharge and discharge conditions. The density-driven saltwater intrusion process was simulated with the use of a finite-element model. Physical parameters, initial heads, and boundary conditions of the basin were defined on the basis of available field data, and an areal, steady-state grou...
Thermal contact conductance of nominaly flat surfaces
Yüncü, Hafit (2006-11-01)
The variation of thermal conductance of contact has been investigated as a function of apparent contact pressure experimentally. Experimental data has been obtained for steel, brass, copper and aluminum test pieces having different surface roughness over a wide range of contact pressures. Experimental results are compared with the theoretical predictions of an existing theory. Comparison revealed good agreement of trend with the experimental data, however, numerical values vary widely. Theory can predict th...
Performance analysis of a solar-assisted heat pump with an evacuated tubular collector for domestic heating
Caglar, Ahmet; Yamali, Cemil (2012-11-01)
Performance of a solar-assisted heat pump with an evacuated tubular collector has been analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. A domestic heating system has been designed, constructed and tested. The evacuated tubular solar collector has been used to achieve higher collector efficiencies. The effects of evaporation temperature on the heating capacity and performance of the system have been investigated. Evaporation temperature varies between 5.2 and 20.7 degrees C while storage tank temperature vari...
