Miniaturized and mobile absorption cooling devices may be used in many applications, but effective and small size heat and mass exchangers are required. Ceramic hollow fiber membranes are thermally stable so that they can be used for the rectification of ammonia in an absorption cooling device. In this paper the simultaneous heat and mass transfer between the ammonia-water vapor and the reflux liquid is modeled in a rectifier with hydrophobic ceramic hollow fiber membranes. A similar model is used to simulate the same process in another rectifier with random packing. The stagnant film model is used to calculate the heat and mass fluxes. The rectifier is divided into segments and the equations for all segments are solved simultaneously. The model is verified by comparing the results with the literature. The effects of the packing density, effective porosity, pore radius and heat and mass transfer coefficients on the distillate concentration and the flow rate are discussed. The sensitivity of the concentration profiles to the grid refinement is shown. The hollow fiber membrane module results in a higher ammonia concentration and higher mass flow rate at the outlet compared to the random packing because it provides higher vapor-liquid interfacial area.

Design and modeling of a novel rectifier with ceramic hollow fiber membrane contactor for miniaturized absorption cooling devices Özkan, Onur; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) Miniaturized and mobile absorption cooling devices may be used in many applications, but effective and small size heat and mass exchangers are required. Ceramic hollow fiber membranes are thermally stable so that they can be used for the rectification of ammonia in an absorption cooling device. In this study the simultaneous heat and mass transfer between the ammonia-water vapor and the reflux liquid is modeled in a rectifier and stripper with hydrophobic ceramic hollow fiber membranes. A similar model is u...
Modeling and analysis of surface roughness of microchannels produced by mu-WEDM using an ANN and Taguchi method Jafari, Rahim; Kahya, Muge; Oliaei, Samad Nadimi Bavil; ÜNVER, HAKKI ÖZGÜR; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2017-11-01) Microchannel heat exchangers are used to remove the high heat fluxes generated in compact electronic devices. The roughness of the microchannels has a significant effect on the heat transfer characteristics, especially the nucleate boiling and pumping power. Therefore, development of predictive models of surface texture is of significant importance in controlling heat transfer characteristics of these devices. In this study, micro-Wire electrical discharge machining (mu-WEDM) was employed to fabricate metal...
Modelling and Precalculation of Additional Losses of Inverter Fed Asynchronous Induction Machines for Traction Applications Muellner, F.; Neudorfer, H.; Schmidt, E. (2011-09-10) The inverter supply of asynchronous induction machines for traction applications has a major influence on both electromagnetic and thermal performance. In addition asynchronous induction machines used with traction drives of rail transportation vehicles have different design strategies compared against commonly used standard machines. Generally, the design of these machines requires high electromagnetic and thermal stress. Thus, the additional losses caused by the inverter have to be considered with the ini...
Modeling of multidimensional heat transfer in a rectangular grooved heat pipe / Odabaşı, Gülnihal; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) Heat pipes are generally preferred for electronics cooling application due to large heat transfer capacity in spite of small size. Micro heat pipes use small channels, whose dimension is on the order of micrometers, to generate necessary capillary action maintaining fluid flow for heat pipe operation. In the present study a flat micro heat pipe with rectangular cross section is analyzed numerically. A simplified axial fluid flow model is utilized to find liquid-vapor interface shape variation along the heat...
Development of cathode materials for li-ion batteries by sputter deposition Erdoğan, Erdem Erkin; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-2-10) The electrochemical performance of Li-ion batteries depends mostly on the cathode material. Cobalt has a huge impact on electrochemical properties and is widely used in cathode materials, but due to its toxicity and cost, recent research is focused on reducing the amount of cobalt in cathode materials. In this study, cathode active materials are produced by magnetron sputtering to obtain the optimum amount of cobalt while optimizing the electrochemical properties. Pechini sol-gel method is used to produce p...
