The mixed convection flow and heat transfer characteristics inside a square ventilated cavity with a heat-generating solid circular body located at the center have been investigated numerically. The inlet opening is at the bottom of the left wall, while the outlet one is at the top of the right wall, and all the walls of the cavity are considered to be adiabatic. A Galerkin weighted residual finite element method is used to solve the governing equations of mass, momentum, and energy. The behavior of the fluid in the ranges of dimensionless cylinder diameter from 0.1 to 0.6 of the heat generating body, thermal conductivity ratio range from 0.2 to 50 between solid and fluid, and heat generating parameter range from 1 to 5 is described in detail. The medium considered is air with a Prandtl number of 0.71. It is found that the flow and temperature field is strongly dependent on the already-mentioned parameters for the ranges considered. The variation of the mean Nusselt number, the dimensionless average drag force, and the average temperature of the fluid versus Richardson number are presented for these parameters.

Effect of surface roughness in microchannels on heat transfer Turgay, Metin Bilgehan; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In this study, effect of surface roughness on convective heat transfer and fluid flow in two dimensional parallel plate microchannels is analyzed by numerically. For this purpose, single-phase, developing, laminar fluid flow at steady state and in the slip flow regime is considered. The continuity, momentum, and energy equations for Newtonian fluids are solved numerically for constant wall temperature boundary condition. Slip velocity and temperature jump at wall boundaries are imposed to observe the rarefa...
Effect of Gas Diffusion Layer Characteristics and Addition of Pore-Forming Agents on the Performance of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells Senguel, Erce; Erkan, Serdar; Eroğlu, İnci; BAÇ, NURCAN (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The performance of five layer membrane electrode assemblies having different characteristics of gas diffusion layers was determined at 70 degrees C cell temperature and ambient pressure. The maximum power density at 0.6 V was 0.36 W/cm(2) for the membrane electrode assembly prepared with the gas diffusion layer having minimum thickness (SGL BC 30 type). On the other hand, the maximum power density at 0.5 V was 0.44 W/cm(2) for the membrane electrode assembly prepared with SGL BC 34 type gas diffusion layer....
EFFECT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS IN PARALLEL-PLATE MICROCHANNELS ON HEAT TRANSFER Turgay, M. B.; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) In this study, the effect of surface roughness on convective heat transfer in two-dimensional parallel plate microchannels is analyzed numerically for steady-state, single-phase, developing, and laminar air flow in the slip flow regime. Slip velocity and temperature jump at wall boundaries are imposed to observe the rarefaction effect. The effect of triangular roughness elements on Nusselt number are compared to cases with smooth surfaces. The results indicate that increasing surface roughness reduces heat ...
Effect of isomorphic atom substitution on the refractive index and oscillator parameters of TlInS2xSe2(1-x) (0.25 <= x <= 1) layered mixed crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2010-11-01) The optical properties of TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals (0.25 <= x <= 1) have been studied at room temperature through the transmittance and reflectivity measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The spectral dependence of the refractive index for all compositions of studied crystals were obtained. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms of the Wemple-DiDomenico single-effective-oscillator model. The compositional dependencies of refractive index dispersion parameters: oscil...
Effect of Thickness-to-Chord Ratio on Flow Structure of a Low Swept Delta Wing Gulsacan, Burak; Sencan, Gizem; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2018-12-01) The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on flow structure of a delta wing with sweep angle of 35 deg is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser-illuminated smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measurements. Four different t/C ratios varying from 4.75 to 19% are tested at angles of attack, 4, 6, 8, and 10 deg, for Reynolds numbers Re =1 x 10(4) and 3.5 x 10(4). The results indicate that the effect of thicknessto-chord ratio on flow structure is quite substan...
