In this study, we present the experimental results of the characterization of micro-ramp type Micro Vortex Generators (MVGs) in low-speed flows. The undisturbed boundary layer profile was measured by means of Hot-Wire Anemometry. Two MVGs with the same design but different height-to-boundary layer thickness ratios are used in this study. Two-dimensional twocomponent particle image velocimetry measurements are conducted in the wake of the MVGs. The results reveal the lift-off of the wake away from the wall further downstream, which is an indication of the streamwise counter-rotating vortex pair induced by the MVGs. In addition, it was observed that with the MVG having a larger height-to-boundary layer thickness ratio, a wake having a higher wall-normal velocity distribution with a slower upwash motion recovery is induced. This is attributed to the stronger counter-rotating vortex pair produced by the larger MVG. Finally, a wake scaling procedure is applied in order to assess the self-similarity of the wake velocity profiles.

Experimental study of trimuon events in neutrino charged-current interactions Kayis-Topaksu, A; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-01) This Letter reports on a study of trimuon events induced by neutrino interactions in the CHORUS calorimeter exposed to the CERN SPS wide-band v(mu) beam. Among the multimuon events produced in the calorimeter, 42 mu(-) mu(-) mu(+) events were selected and their kinematical properties investigated. In the past, several groups collected a sample of about one hundred events of this type but their source was largely unknown. Taking advantage of experimental data presently available on the production and muonic ...
Development of high performance long wavelength infrared HgCdTe focal plane arrays Barutçu, Berna; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) This thesis study reports the characterization of long wavelength infrared (LWIR) HgCdTe photovoltaic detectors with the p on n structure and 9.5 μm cut-off wavelength grown by molecular beam epitaxy on CdZnTe substrates and fabricated with different passivation processes. The characterization study was conducted at both pixel and focal plane array (FPA) levels. While the detectors exhibit diffusion dominated dark current at temperatures at and above 130 K under reverse bias voltages typically used in imagi...
Experimental investigation of surface roughness effects on the flow boiling of R134a in microchannels Jafari, Rahim; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Ünver, Hakkı Özgür; Bayer, Özgür (2016-12-01) This study experimentally investigates the effect of surface roughness on the hydrodynamic and thermal performance of microchannel evaporators. Three micro-evaporators of the same dimensions and different surface roughness have been fabricated by micro-WEDM. Each micro-evaporator consists of forty rectangular microchannels of 700 mu m height, 250 mu m width, and 19 mm length. A microscale vapor compression refrigeration cycle has been constructed to carry out the experiments. R134a is used as the refrigeran...
Experimental characterization of collapse-mode CMUT operation Oralkan, Omer; Bayram, Barış; Yaralioglu, Goksen G.; Ergun, A. Sanli; Kupnik, Mario; Yeh, David T.; Wygant, Ira O.; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus T. (2006-08-01) This paper reports on the experimental characterization of collapse-mode operation of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs). CMUTs are conventionally operated by applying a direct current (DC) bias voltage less than the collapse voltage of the membrane, so that the membrane is deflected toward the bottom electrode. In the conventional regime, there is no contact between the membrane and the substrate; the maximum alternating current (AC) displacement occurs at the center of the membrane. I...
Kinetic analysis of in situ combustion processes with thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis and reaction tube experiments Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1995-01-01) This research comprises the determination of kinetic parameters of in situ combustion processes by reaction tube and thermal (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA)) experiments. A previously developed laboratory model and a Du Pont 9900 thermalanalyzer unit were used to run the experiments. Three reaction regions for combustion of crude oil in porous media were observed in the reaction tube and TGA/DTGA experiments and are defined as low temperature oxidation, fuel ...
