A modification of the conventional hybrid Monte Carlo - fluid model for glow discharge, which incorporates the electron energy equation, is considered. In the proposed model electrons are separated into two groups, namely, high energetic fast and low energetic slow (bulk) electrons. Density profiles of ions, slow electrons, and meta-stable particles are determined from the solution of corresponding continuity equations. Fast electrons, which are responsible for ionization and excitation events in the discharge, are simulated by the Monte-Carlo method. The temperature profile for slow electrons is obtained from the solution of the energy balance equation. The transport (mobility and diffusion) coefficients as well as the reaction rates for slow electrons are determined as functions of the electron temperature. Test calculations are carried out for the direct current glow discharge in argon within two-dimensional geometry. Comparison of the computed results with those obtained from the conventional fluid and hybrid models and the experimental data is done, the applicability and reliability of the proposed model is studied in details.

Investigations of new horizons on H2/O2 proton exchange membrane fuel cells Yazaydın, Ahmet Özgür; Eroğlu, İnci; Lemi, Türker; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003) Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are electrochemical devices which convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into electrical energy with a high efficiency. They are compact and produce a powerful electric current relative to their size. Different from the batteries they do not need to be recharged. They operate as long as the fuel is supplied. Fuel cells, therefore, are considered as one of the most promising options to replace the conventional power generating systems in the future. In this study five PEM...
Alteration of spontaneous emission in hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride microcavities Serpenguzel, A; Aydinli, A; Bek, Alpan (1998-01-01) A Fabry-Perot microcavity is used for the alteration of the spontaneous emission spectrum in hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride. The modified photon density of states of the Fabry-Perot microcavity are responsible for the alteration of the spontaneous emission spectrum. The Fabry-Perot microcavity enhances the intensity of the spontaneous emission signal by a factor of 4 at the photon energies corresponding to the microcavity resonances. The 0.075 eV wide spontaneous emission Linewidth of the Fabry-Pero...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of high temperature PEM fuel cells by using Comsol Multiphysics Sezgin, Berna; Caglayan, Dilara Gulcin; DEVRİM, YILSER; Steenberg, Thomas; Eroğlu, İnci (2016-06-22) The objective of this study is to observe the effect of the critical design parameters, velocities of inlet gases (hydrogen and air) and the conductivity of polymer membrane, on the performance of a high temperature PEM fuel cell. A consistent and systematic mathematical model is developed in order to study the effect of these parameters. The model is applied to an isothermal, steady state, three-dimensional PEM fuel cell in order to observe concentration profiles, current density profiles and polarization ...
Application of semi conductor films over glass/ceramic surfaces and their low temperature photocatalytic activity Ersöz, Tuğçe İrfan; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2009) Semiconductor metal oxides can be induced by light with proper wavelength resulting in oxidation and reduction reactions for the transformation of water and oxygen molecules into active radicals. With this method, it is possible to obtain self-cleaning surfaces and products having antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study is to develop semiconductor metal oxide thin films for multifunctional glass products and the characterization of photocatalytic self cleaning and antimicrobial properties. As semico...
Numerical investigation of a dc glow discharge in an argon gas: two-component plasma model Kemaneci, Efe Hasan; Rafatov, İsmail; Department of Physics (2009) This thesis deals with a one and two dimensional numerical modeling of a low-pressure DC glow discharge in argon gas. We develop two-component fluid model which uses the diffusion-drift theory for the gas discharge plasma and consists of continuity equations for electrons and ions, as well as Poisson equation for electric field. Numerical method is based on the control volume technique. Calculations are carried out in MATLAB environment. Computed results are compared with the classic theory of glow discharg...
