Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 60Effect of Regeneration Temperature on Adsorption Equilibria and Mass Diffusivity of Zeolite 13x-Water Pair(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Sayılgan, Şefika Çağla; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraThe adsorption equilibrium and mass diffusivity of zeolite 13X-water pair for different adsorption and regeneration temperatures were determined by a homemade volumetric system. The isotherms of the zeolite 13X-water pair were obtained by collecting pressure versus time data and applying ideal gas law. The effective diffusivity of the pair was calculated by using long term analytical solution of mass diffusivity based on Fick's law. The experimental study showed that the adsorption capacity of zeolite 13X-water pair was 23% (kg/kg), 21% (kg/kg) and 19% (kg/kg) when the adsorption temperature was 35, 45 and 60 °C respectively for the desorption temperature of 90 °C. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity increased from 22% (kg/kg) to 24% (kg/kg) when the desorption temperature was increased from 90 °C to 150 °C. It was observed that the present adsorption equilibrium results were compatible with the reported results in the literature. The mass diffusivity of the pair was found in the range of 4 × 10-9-6 × 10-8 m2/s for the long time period when the initial adsorptive pressure was 2000 Pa. The effective mass diffusivity depends on concentration and it was decreased with increasing adsorbate concentration.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Effect of Pore To Throat Size Ratio on Thermal Dispersion in Porous Media(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, MoghtadaIn this study, the effects of pore to throat size ratio on thermal dispersion of periodic porous media consisting of inline array of rectangular rods are investigated, numerically. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved for representative elementary volumes (REVs) of the porous media to obtain microscopic velocities in the voids between the rods and temperature distribution for entire of the REVs. Volume averaging method is employed to compute the macroscopic velocity and temperature values. There are velocity and temperature deviations between the macroscopic and microscopic values. These deviations are computed numerically and thermal dispersion coefficients of the porous media are determined. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of pore to throat size ratio on the longitudinal and transverse thermal dispersion in the porous media. The study is performed for pore to throat size ratios between 1.63 and 7.46, porosities from 0.7 to 0.9, and pore level Reynolds numbers between 1 and 100. It is found that in addition to the porosity and Reynolds number, the parameter of pore to throat size ratio plays an important role on thermal dispersion in a porous medium. It is found that there is an optimum value of pore to throat size ratio for maximum longitudinal thermal dispersion coefficient; however, the transverse thermal dispersion increases with the increasing of values of pore to throat size ratio.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Visualization of Heat Flow in a Vertical Channel With Fully Developed Mixed Convection(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, MoghtadaA study on visualization of heat flow in three channels with laminar fully developed mixed convection heat transfer is performed. The first channel is filled with completely pure fluid; the second one is completely filled with fluid saturated porous medium. A porous layer exists in the half of the third channel while another half is filled with pure fluid. The velocity, temperature and heat transport fields are obtained both by using analytical and numerical methods. Analytical expression for heat transport field is obtained and presented. The heatline patterns are plotted for different values of Gr/Re, thermal conductivity ratio, Peclet and Darcy numbers. It is found that the path of heat flow in the channel strongly depends on Peclet number. For low Peclet numbers (i.e., Pe = 0.01), the path of heat flow is independent of Gr/Re and Darcy numbers. However, for high Peclet numbers (i.e., Pe = 5), the ratio of Gr/Re, Darcy number and thermal conductivity ratio influence heatline patterns, considerably. For the channels with high Peclet number (i.e., Pe = 5), a downward heat flow is observed when a reverse flow exits. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 15Techno-Economic Evaluation of a Ventilation System Assisted With Exhaust Air Heat Recovery, Electrical Heater and Solar Energy(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Özyoğurtçu, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özerdem, BarışThe energy consumed to condition fresh air is considerable, particularly for the buildings such as cinema, theatre or gymnasium saloons. The aim of the present study is to design a ventilation system assisted with exhaust air heat recovery unit, electrical heater and stored solar energy, then to make an economical analysis based on life cycle cost (LCC) to find out its payback period. The system is able to recover thermal energy of exhaust air, store solar energy during the sunlight period and utilize it in the period between 17:00 and 24:00 h. The transient behaviour of the system is simulated by the TRNSYS 16 software for winter period from 1st of November to 31st of March for Izmir city of Turkey. The obtained results show that the suggested ventilation system reduces energy consumption by 86% compared to the conventional ventilation system in which an electrical heater is used. The payback period of the suggested system is found to be 5 years and 8 months which is a promising result in favour of the solar energy usage in building ventilation systems.Article Citation - WoS: 91Citation - Scopus: 108A Heatline Analysis of Natural Convection in a Square Inclined Enclosure Filled With a Cuo Nanofluid Under Non-Uniform Wall Heating Condition(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Öztop, Hakan Fehmi; Mobedi, Moghtada; Abu-Nada, Eiyad; Pop, IoanHeatline visualization technique is used to understand heat transport path in an inclined non-uniformly heated enclosure filled with water based CuO nanofluid. The cavity has square cross-section and it is non-uniformly heated from a wall and cooled from opposite wall while other walls are adiabatic. The governing equations which are continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved using finite volume method. The dimensionless heatfunction for nanofluid heat flow is defined and solved to determine heatline patterns. Calculations were performed for Rayleigh numbers of 10 3, 10 4 and 10 5, inclination angle of 0°, 30°, 60°and 90°, and nanoparticle fraction of 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1. It is observed that heat transfer in the cavity increases by adding nanoparticles. The rate of increase is greater for the enclosures with low Rayleigh number. Visualization of heatline is successfully applied to nanoparticle convective flows. Based on the heatline patterns, three heat transfer regions are observed and discussed in details. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The study is performed for four different HVAC systems: (a) 100% fresh air system (System I), (b) 100% fresh air with half air volume rate at night period (System II), (c) 100% fresh air with half air volume rate at night period and heat recovery unit (System III), (d) 50% fresh air with half air volume rate at night period and with heat recovery and mixing units (System IV). Life cycle cost (LCC) for 20 years life span is calculated for the considered systems. It is found that System IV considerably reduces energy consumption and it is economically proper for the considered cities. The rate of energy consumption and LCC reductions are greater for the cities with extreme climate condition having relatively low specific humidity ratio. Using System IV instead of System I reduces OR energy consumption by 74% for the city of Erzurum which has a cold and dry climate.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 25A Dimensionless Analysis of Heat and Mass Transport in an Adsorber With Thin Fins; Uniform Pressure Approach(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraA numerical study on heat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed assisted with radial fins for an isobaric adsorption process is performed. A uniform pressure approach is employed to determine the changes of temperature and adsorbate concentration profiles in the adsorbent bed. The governing equations which are heat transfer equation for the adsorbent bed, mass balance equation for the adsorbent particle, and conduction heat transfer equation for the thin fin are non-dimensionalized in order to reduce number of governing parameters. The number of governing parameters is reduced to four as Kutateladze number, thermal diffusivity ratio, dimensionless fin coefficient and dimensionless parameter of Γ which compares mass diffusion in the adsorbent particle to heat transfer through the adsorbent bed. Temperature and adsorbate concentration contours are plotted for different values of defined dimensionless parameters to discuss heat and mass transfer rate in the bed. The average dimensionless temperature and average adsorbate concentration throughout the adsorption process are also presented to compare heat and mass transfer rate of different cases. The values of dimensionless fin coefficient, Γ number and thermal diffusivity ratio are changed from 0.01 to 100, 1 to 10 -5 and 0.01 to 100, respectively; while the values of Kutateladze number are 1 and 100. The obtained results revealed that heat transfer rate in an adsorbent bed can be enhanced by the fin when the values of thermal diffusivity ratio and fin coefficient are low (i.e., α -=0.01, δ=0.01). Furthermore, the use of fin in an adsorbent bed with low values of γ number (i.e. γ=10 -5) does not increase heat transfer rate, significantly.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Visualization of Diffusion and Convection Heat Transport in a Square Cavity With Natural Convection(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Mobedi, Moghtada; Özkol, Ünver; Sunden, BengtIn this study, the total heatfunction equation which includes diffusion and convection transport is divided into the corresponding heatfunction equations. The superposition rule is used to obtain the mathematical definitions of diffusion and convection heatfunctions and corresponding boundary conditions. It is observed that the separate visualization of diffusion and convection heatlines provides significant information on understanding of the mechanism of heat transfer in a convective flow. The direction of the diffusion and convection heat transport as well as the strength of convection compared to the conduction in entire or in a portion of a domain can be visualized. The diffusion heatlines demonstrate a potential flow like behavior while convective heat flow rotates due to the source term of the convection heatfunction equation, similar to the rotation of fluid flow generated by fluid flow vorticity. The similarity between the streamfunction and the total heatfunction yields a concept of heat flow vorticity, Ωt. The obtained results show that the maximum absolute value of the convection heatfunction may be an appropriate parameter for determination of the convection strength. The diffusion and convection heatfunction equations for natural convection in a differentially heated square cavity for four different length of the heated surface on the right vertical wall as sp = L/4, L/2, 3L/4 and L and a fixed length of the cooled surface on the right vertical wall as L/4 are obtained and corresponding heatlines are drawn. The values of the conduction heatfunction are positive while the sign of convection heatfunction values is negative for the studied cases. Based on the distribution of total heatlines, two regions are detected in the cavity, an active region with the positive values of heatlines signifying dominant conduction heat transfer and a passive region with the negative heatfunction values in where convection heat flow is dominant and heat only rotates in a closed contour pattern. The variations of average Nusselt number, average of heat flow vorticity, maximum absolute values of convection heatfunction and streamfunction at different Rayleigh numbers and lengths of the heated surface are presented.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 37Visualization of Heat Flow Using Bejan's Heatline Due To Natural Convection of Water Near 4 °c in Thick Walled Porous Cavity(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Varol, Yasin; Öztop, Hakan Fehmi; Mobedi, Moghtada; Pop, IoanA numerical study on natural convection heat transfer of cold water near 4 °C in a thick bottom walled cavity filled with a porous medium has been performed. It is assumed that the cavity is isothermally heated from the outside of the thick bottom wall and cooled from ceiling. The finite-difference method has been used to solve the governing partial differential equations of heat and fluid flow. Effects of thermal conductivity ratio, Rayleigh number and bottom wall thickness on heat transfer from the bottom to the ceiling have been studied. The heatline visualization technique has been used to demonstrate the path of heat transport through the enclosure. Moreover, streamlines and isotherms have been used to present fluid flow and temperature distributions. The obtained results show that multiple circulation cells are formed in the cavity and the local Nusselt numbers at the bottom wall and solid-fluid interface are highly affected by formed cells. The increase of Rayleigh number and thermal conductivity ratio increases heat transfer through the cavity. However, the increase of thickness of the bottom wall reduces the mean Nusselt number. Almost one-dimensional conduction heat transfer is observed in the solid bottom wall of the cavity. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

In order to reduce the number of independent parameters that influences heat and mass transfer in the bed, the governing equations and related initial and boundary conditions for the problem are non-dimensionalized and this yields two dimensionless parameters as G and Γ. The G dimensionless parameter is the ratio of heat of adsorption to sensible heat stored by adsorbent particle and Γ parameter compares mass diffusion within the adsorbent particle and heat diffusion in the radial direction of the adsorbent bed. The obtained results show that the total dimensionless time for an adsorption process can be reduced by increasing of Γ value. The total dimensionless time is independent from G for low values of Γ (i.e. Γ=105). The results also show that the instantaneous equilibrium model can provide accurate results only for an adsorbent bed with a low value of Γ (i.e. Γ=105). The present study is performed for Γ values from 105 to 1 and G value from 1 to 100. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
