Article Mini modular plant design for ethylene production using Martian atmosphere on Mars(Elsevier, 2024) Deliismail, Özgün; Şeker, ErolA main shift in the competitive landscape of technology development is in 3D printing of complex articles made of variety of materials due to faster manufacturing and less human error in the production. In fact, it seems to be a viable candidate for the construction of structures for terrestrial and extraterrestrial life in future. Thus, new or damaged equipment in space explorations could be replaced instantly, and habitats could be manufactured using 3D printing in varying gravitational fields in the solar system. Among 3D printing materials, HDPE is commonly used in the projects, such as a prototype manufacturing or pipes or damp-proof membrane. This study initially focused on the preliminary design of the self-sustaining mini ethylene production plant from Martian atmosphere with scale-out architecture. UniSIM® was integrated with MATLAB® via CAPE-OPEN extension to design mini-ethylene production plant at low gravity. Ethylene capacity was found as 17.71 tons/year for 100 modules. © 2023 COSPARArticle Simultaneous Topology Design and Optimization of Pde Constrained Processes Based on Mixed Integer Formulations(Elsevier, 2024) Ertürk, Emrullah; Deliismail, Özgün; Şıldır, HasanSimultaneous topological design and optimization of complex processes that are described by partial differential equations is a challenging but promising research area. Widely adopted nested and sequential approaches are mostly applicable based on heuristic solutions, hindering the theoretical improvement potential due to decentralized decision-making in subsequent stages with a significant number of trial-and-error procedures. This study introduces a mixed integer formulation addressing the governing equations and case-dependent topological constraints at each discretization point, enabling solutions through rigorous solvers under process-related constraints and objectives. Nonlinear expressions in the formulations are further tailored using piecewise linear approximations, still representing the major nonlinear trends through a mixed-integer linear nature to favor global optimality and benefit from computational advancements, when needed. Heat and Stokes flow problems are used as case studies to demonstrate the applicability of the methodology. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
