Performance prediction of darrieus type vertical axis wind turbines using numerical simulations
Gömeç, Fazıl Selçuk; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
Flow over Darrieus type straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) with NACA 0021 blade profile is simulated using ANSYS Fluent software. SST k- turbulence model is used for the two-dimensional, unsteady simulations. Wind speed is taken as 7 m/s and part of the problem domain including the rotating blades is modeled using the sliding mesh technique. Effects of boundary layer mesh parameters, time step and convergence tolerance on the solution accuracy are investigated with carefully designed runs. ...
Performance evaluation and comparison of low voltage grid-tied three-phase AC/DC converter configurations with SI and SIC semiconductor switches
Öztoprak, Oğuzhan; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
In this thesis, as compared to silicon IGBT (Si-IGBT) technology, the advantages of using higher efficiency and faster wide bandgap silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor switches in low voltage three-phase grid-tied PWM DC/AC voltage source converters (VSCs) are investigated in terms of sizing, efficiency and economic considerations for MW-scale photovoltaic power plant applications. As the cost and energy efficiency of a VSC strongly affect the total system economics, this thesis proposes a design methodolog...
Performance Calculation of SR Motors for Optimum Design and a Washing Machine Application
Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2008-09-09)
This paper aims to develop an approach for performance calculation of an SR motor, which is suitable for use within mathematical design optimization. For this reason the requirement is to develop procedures, which are both accurate and fast. The procedures adopted here rely on flux-linkage-current-position curves of the motor. A series of tests are carried out on a test motor. The results are compared with estimations from the developed algorithms. It is shown that the current waveform, torque-speed curve, ...
Performance analysis of grooved heat pipes using 3-D multi-channel thermal resistance network
Sezmen, Ramazan Aykut; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Çetin, Barbaros; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-9)
Heat pipes are phase change heat transfer devices that transfer high amounts of heat with low temperature differences compared to conventional cooling techniques due to their high thermal conductivity. Since heat pipes do not require any external power supply and not involve any moving parts, they are preferred for high reliability applications and in wide range of industrial applications from thermal management of electronics to space applications. Essentially, heat pipes use the advantage of occurring pha...
