New developments in the Risø TL/OSL system includes a software controlled heater fitted underneath the beta source to enable irradiation of samples at an elevated temperature. This allows investigations of competition effects from thermally shallow traps and centres. Significant additional software developments include the facility to vary linearly the stimulation power during stimulation (linearly modulated OSL). The elevated temperature irradiator facility has been further expanded to allow the measurement of radioluminescence (RL) during beta irradiation. This additional facility allows the measurement of TL, OSL and RL in the same software controlled automatic sequence. This paper provides a description of the capabilities of the new combined automatic TL/OSL/RL reader, and illustrates the application of the elevated temperature irradiator facility, and the RL unit. The new measurement facilities have provided preliminary information about possible trap competition during storage, and changes in recombination processes.

Numerical methodology for feasibility analysis of ground source heat pumps
Gamage, Kumudu Janani; Uzgören, Eray; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2014-8)
Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems provide an alternative energy source for residential and commercial space heating and cooling applications by utilizing the favorable temperature profile at a certain depth under the ground surface. GSHP’s aftereffects on the ground temperature profile need to be considered for estimating the economical breakeven point. The present study develops a new semi-analytical model to analyze the short term response of the ground heat exchangers by accounting the depth depende...
Implementation of metal-based microchannel heat exchangers in a microrefrigeration cycle, and numerical and experimental investigation of surface roughness effects on flow boiling
Jafari Khousheh Mehr, Rahim; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Ünver, Hakkı Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
A microscale vapor compression refrigeration cycle has been constructed for possible application in the thermal management of compact electronic components. The micro-evaporator and micro-condenser components have been fabricated using wire electron discharge machining and micromilling, respectively. Three microevaporators have been manufactured with different surface roughness for the experimental and numerical investigation of roughness effect on nucleate flow boiling in microchannels. In the numerical pa...
Experimental investigation of a natural zeolite-water adsorption cooling unit
Solmus, Ismail; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN; Yamali, Cemil; Baker, Derek Keıth (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01)
In this study, a thermally driven adsorption cooling unit using natural zeolite-water as the adsorbent-refrigerant pair has been built and its performance investigated experimentally at various evaporator temperatures. The primary components of the cooling unit are a shell and tube adsorbent bed, an evaporator, a condenser, heating and cooling baths, measurement instruments and supplementary system components. The adsorbent bed is considered to enhance the bed's heat and mass transfer characteristics; the b...
Passive Cooling Assembly for Flat Panel Displays with Integrated High Power Components
Tarı, İlker (2009-08-01)
Passive cooling of flat panel display designs with integrated high power components is investigated with the help of recently available semi-emprical and CFD based heat transfer correlations. A heat-spreader-heat-sink assembly is proposed for effective external natural convection cooling of the display panel. A flat vertical surface and plate finned heat sinks with various fin heights are considered as heat sinks in the assembly. Heat dissipation limits for both types of heat sinks are determined for variou...
Modeling and computational simulation of adsorption based chemical heat pumps
Yurtsever, Ahmet Onur; Karakaş, Gürkan; Uludağ, Yusuf (2013-01-10)
In this study a methodology is developed for the design of a packed bed reactor to be used in a Chemical Heat Pump (CHP). Adsorption and desorption of ethanol on active carbon packing in the reactor are investigated. Depending on the cycle, i.e. adsorption or desorption, cooling or heating of the reactor material is modeled through transient energy equation. The parameters associated with the vapor-carbon adsorption kinetics are experimentally determined. Then spatial distribution of temperature and adsorbe...
