Review Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13A Review on Battery Thermal Management Strategies in Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries for Electric Vehicles(Yıldız Technical University, 2023) Güngör, Şahin; Göçmen, Sinan; Çetkin, ErdalElectrification on transportation and electricity generation via renewable sources play a vital role to diminish the effects of energy usage on the environment. Transition from the conven- tional fuels to renewables for transportation and electricity generation demands the storage of electricity in great capacities with desired power densities and relatively high C-rate values. Yet, thermal and electrical characteristics vary greatly depending on the chemistry and struc- ture of battery cells. At this point, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are more suitable in most applications due to their superiorities such as long lifetime, high recyclability, and capacities. However, exothermic electrochemical reactions yield temperature to increase suddenly which affects the degradation in cells, ageing, and electrochemical reaction kinetics. Therefore, strict temperature control increases battery lifetime and eliminates undesired situations such as lay- er degradation and thermal runaway. In the literature, there are many distinct battery thermal management strategies to effectively control battery cell temperatures. These strategies vary based on the geometrical form, size, capacity, and chemistry of the battery cells. Here, we focus on proposed battery thermal management strategies and current applications in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. In this review, various battery thermal management strategies are doc- umented and compared in detail with respect to geometry, thermal uniformity, coolant type and heat transfer methodology for Li-ion and post-lithium batteries.Article Citation - WoS: 3Boşluk İletim Tabakasız ve Esnek Organo Kurşun İyodür Perovskit Güneş Hücresinin Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2022) Sarıaltın, HüseyinPerovskit güneş pilleri (PSC) esneklik ve düşük maliyetli rulodan ruloya üretim gibi avantajlarla birlikte son zamanlarda güç dönüşüm verimliliğinde de önemli bir ilerleme kat etmiştir. PSC'lerin ticarileştirilmesinden önce çevresel performansının yaşam döngüsü değerlendirme (LCA) yöntemi ile araştırılması önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, literatür verilerinden istifade edilerek, esnek Polietilen tereftalat (PET) alt tabaka ve boşluk iletim katmanı (HTL) eliminasyonunu içeren çözelti bazlı organo-kurşun iyodür perovskit güneş hücresinin beşikten kapıya yaşam döngüsü analizi (LCA) gerçekleştirilmiştir. 1 m2 hücre alanı üretiminden kaynaklanan çevresel etkiler altı Uluslararası Referans Yaşam Döngüsü Veri Sistemi (ILCD) kategorisinde belirlenmiştir. Analizin sonucunda, en fazla etki değerinin yüksek elektrik enerjisi tüketimine sahip vakum biriktirme işlemi gereksinimine sahip olan alüminyum metal elektrot tabakasının imalatından kaynaklandığı bulunmuştur. Ticari fotovoltaik teknolojilerle karşılaştırma yapabilmek için en yaygın kullanılan çevresel göstergelerden birisi olan küresel ısınma potansiyeli (GWP), birim kWh elektrik üretimi için hesaplanmıştır. Buna göre, bu çalışmada incelenen HTL'siz esnek (HFF) PSC'nin ticari PV'lerle rekabetçi GWP değerine ulaşmak için 15-20 yıl cihaz ömrüne ihtiyacı olduğu bulunmuştur.Article Citation - WoS: 1Performance Analysis of Thermal Storage Assisted Cooling Tower With Night Cooling(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Ouedraogo, Kiswendsida Elias; Toprak, KasımAs global warming and water scarcity issues continue to grow, it is essential to increase resources efficiency for air conditioners and power plants. In order to increase the efficiency, the systems need to be modified to take the advantages of the low night temperature and thermal storage tanks. In this study, the low night temperature and thermal storage tanks effects on the cooling tower is studied using TRNSYS. Using a chiller operating from 8:00 to 16:00 as a case study, hot water from the condenser is partially stored on daytime and cooled slowly during the night. The storage tank volume is optimized by considering two big tanks and five small tanks. The results show that night cooling reduces cooling water temperature by 5.8 degrees C or 21.8% while the cooling efficiency is increased by 36%. The thermal storage tanks enable to have the low continuous flow rate and help to reduce the fan power by 67.1%. On the storage side, compared to two tanks system, the tanks volume is reduced by 16.5% when 5 tanks are used. In theory this reduction can go up to 50% by increasing the number of tanks and reducing their individual size.Article Citation - WoS: 3Validation on of Local Thermal Equilibrium and Uniform Pressure Assumptions for an Isobaric Adsorption Process in an Adsorbent Bed(Türk Isı Bilimi ve Tekniği Derneği, 2016) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraBu çalışmanın amacı, adsorbent yatakta ısı ve kütle transferini analiz etmek için kullanılan yerel ısıl denge ve sabit basınç yaklaşımı varsayımların geçerliliğini araştırmaktır. İçerisinde silika jel partikülleri içeren bir yatak ile su kabı olan bir deney düzeneği tasarlanmış ve adsorpsiyon sürecinde yatağın içinde farklı yerlerde yerel sıcaklık ve basınç ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca, sabit basınç yaklaşımı ve yerel ısıl denge varsayımlara dayalı ısı ve kütle transferi denklemleri çözülmüştür. Sayısal sonuçlar, ilgili deneysel sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmış ve aralarında oldukça iyi bir uyum tespit edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen karşılaştırmaya dayanarak, incelenen yatak için iki önemli sonuç şu şekildedir: a) katı madde ve su buharı arasında yerel ısıl denge bulunmaktadır, b) bir yatak içinde parçacıklar arası kütle transferi direnci ihmal edilebilir düzeyde olup konsantrasyonunun ve sıcaklığın belirlenmesi için sabit basınç yaklaşımı geçerlidir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada sunulan deneysel sonuçlar diğer araştırmacıların sayısal çalışmalarının geçerliliğini doğtulamak için değerli veriler sağlayacaktır.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4The Effect of Cooling on Mechanical and Thermal Stresses in Vascular Structures(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2018) Çetkin, ErdalHere, we show how the vascular channel configuration and its shape affect the mechanical strength which is simultaneously subjected to heating and mechanical load. The material properties were defined as functions of temperature. The effect of channel cross-section on the coolant mass flow rate, peak temperature and peak stresses are documented. The results show that the resistances to flow of stresses and fluid is minimum with the circular channels while the resistance to the heat flow is the smallest with semi-circular channels. In addition, morphing the vascular design provides almost the smallest resistance to the heat flow with circular channels (0.3% difference in the peak temperature). This shows that even the convective resistances are the smallest with circular-cross section, overall thermal resistance is smaller in semi-circular design for the fixed fluid volume. The peak stress is smaller with hybrid design than the parallel designs for the entire pressure drop range. In addition, the effects of mechanical load, heating rate and reference temperature on the stress distribution are also documented. Furthermore, the thermal and mechanical stresses are also documented separately, and then compared with the coupled solution cases. The chief result of this paper is that for a coupled system minimizing only one of the resistance terms is not sufficient, all the resistances considered simultaneously in order to uncover the best performing design. In coupled solutions, we documented the simulation results with temperature dependent material properties and the resistances to the heat and fluid flow is affected by the mechanical deformations. In addition, the results show that the designs should be free to vary, the unexpected designs can be the best performing designs for the given parameters and constraints. Therefore, the design parameters based on the experience does not always yield the best performing designs as the objectives and constraints vary.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7The Importance of Internal Heat Gains for Building Cooling Design(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2017) Coşkun, Turgay; Turhan, Cihan; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenThis paper aims to investigate the effect of internal heat gains on the cooling load of a building. The house occupied by three adult men is selected as the case study for paper. The house is in the third floor of the apartment. The apartment has four flats and it has no insulation around the external walls. The heat dissipation from lighting devices, electrical equipment and the occupants are calculated by using the DesignBuilder v4 Beta release simulation program. The temperature of the house is observed during three weeks by using hobo data loggers and calibration of the measurements is made with respect to weather data file of the flat. Detailed schedule based on time of operation and occupancy is prepared to get more accurate results. Annual energy consumption and cooling load of the house is determined by using the dynamic simulation program.
