Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6The Effect of Cavities and T-Shaped Assembly of Fins on Overall Thermal Resistances(International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2017) Çetin, Eylem; Çetkin, ErdalIn this study, authors show that maximum excess temperature on a heat generating cylindrical solid domain can be minimized with numerically optimized rectangular cavities and T-shaped fins. The effect of the cavities and the fins on overall thermal resistances were compared while their volume fraction in a unit volume element is fixed. Furthermore, the designs correspond to the minimum thermal resistance were uncovered for two types of flows; parallel and cross-flow. The governing equations of the heat transfer and the fluid flow were solved simultaneously in order to show the effects of design on the flow characteristics and the thermal performance. Two-dimensional solution domain was used to uncover the thermal performance in cross-flow case because the flow direction is perpendicular to the heat transfer surface area of the heat generating domain. However, three-dimensional domain was used in parallel flow case because the fluid flows along the outer surface of the heat generating domain. For the cross-flow case, the results show that T-shaped assembly of fins with longer stem and shorter tributaries correspond to the lower peak temperature. In addition, the results also show that there is an optimal cavity shape that minimizes the peak temperature. This optimal shape becomes thinner when the number of the cavities increase. In parallel flow case, fins with thicker and shorter stem and longer tributaries correspond to the minimum excess temperature. In addition, the longer and thinner cavities increase the thermal performance in parallel flow case.Article Citation - WoS: 220Citation - Scopus: 234Determination of Octanol-Air Partition Coefficients and Supercooled Liquid Vapor Pressures of Pahs as a Function of Temperature: Application To Gas-Particle Partitioning in an Urban Atmosphere(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Odabaşı, Mustafa; Çetin, Eylem; Sofuoğlu, AysunOctanol-air partition coefficients (KOA) for 14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined as a function of temperature using the gas chromatographic retention time method. log KOA values at 25° ranged over six orders of magnitude, between 6.34 (acenaphthylene) and 12.59 (dibenz[a,h]anthracene). The determined KOA values were within factor of 0.7 (dibenz[a,h]anthracene) to 15.1 (benz[a]anthracene) of values calculated as the ratio of octanol-water partition coefficient to dimensionless Henry's law constant. Supercooled liquid vapor pressures (PL) of 13 PAHs were also determined using the gas chromatographic retention time technique. Activity coefficients in octanol calculated using KOA and PL ranged between 3.2 and 6.2 indicating near-ideal solution behavior. Atmospheric concentrations measured in this study in Izmir, Turkey were used to investigate the partitioning of PAHs between particle and gas-phases. Experimental gas-particle partition coefficients (Kp) were compared to the predictions of KOA absorption and KSA (soot-air partition coefficient) models. Octanol-based absorptive partitioning model predicted lower partition coefficients especially for relatively volatile PAHs. Ratios of measured/modeled partition coefficients ranged between 1.1 and 15.5 (4.5±6.0, average±SD) for KOA model. KSA model predictions were relatively better and measured to modeled ratios ranged between 0.6 and 5.6 (2.3±2.7, average±SD).Article Citation - WoS: 94Citation - Scopus: 96Short-Term Variation in Ambient Concentrations and Gas/Particle Partitioning of Organochlorine Pesticides in Izmir, Turkey(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Çetin, Eylem; Bozacıoğlu, Sevde Seza; Şener, Gaye Devrim; Odabaşı, MustafaTwenty successive daytime and nighttime air samples were collected and analyzed for 23 currently used and/banned organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) between 14 and 23 May 2003 in Izmir, Turkey. Average individual OCP concentrations ranged from 5±4pgm-3 (p,p′- dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane) to 391±306pgm-3 (chlorpyrifos) and they were within the ranges previously measured at different sites. Most of the OCPs did not exhibit strong diurnal cycling. The temperature dependence of gas-phase atmospheric concentrations of OCPs investigated using Clausius-Clapeyron plots was statistically significant for β-HCH and endosulfan sulfate (p<0.1) and was not significant for other compounds (0-21% of the variability in their gas-phase concentrations). In addition to temperature, the effect of wind speed and direction was also investigated using multiple linear regression analysis and these three parameters together explained the 2% (aldrin) to 72% (endosulfan II) of the variability in gas-phase OCP concentrations. Results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that wind speed was a statistically significant factor for most of the OCPs and wind direction was important for some compounds. The temperature-dependent diurnal cycling of most OCPs was probably masked by the higher wind speeds observed during daytime periods with high temperatures, different source sectors and ongoing sources. The lack of correlation for heptachlor, aldrin, p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p-p′-DDE), and p,p′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p-p′-DDT) with temperature, wind speed and direction suggested that their concentrations were affected by long-range transport. The partitioning of OCPs between particle and gas phases was investigated and compared to KOA (octanol/air partition coefficient) absorption model. The overall agreement between experimental and modeled logKp (gas/particle partition coefficient) values was good (p<0.01, slope=0.94). Prediction of absorption model for particulate percentages was excellent for β-HCH, endosulfan I, and p-p′-DDT. However, the model underpredicted the particulate percentages for α,γ-HCHs, chlorpyrifos, and dieldrin, and overpredicted those for p-p′-DDE.
