Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Performance Assessment of a Near Room Temperature Magnetic Cooling System(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Ekren, Orhan; Yılancı, Ahmet; Ezan, Mehmet Akif; Kara, Salih Murat; Bıyık, EmrahIn this study, performance of a near room temperature magnetic cooling system was investigated experimentally in terms of temperature span. The current setup has a permanent magnet pairs (0.7 Tesla), a magnetocaloric material (Gadolinium) and a heat transfer fluid (water, ethylene glycol and 10% ethanol-water mixing) furthermore solar energy was used as a power source of liner motion of the magnetic system. The obtained results showed that ethanol-water was the best heat transfer fluid and also that optimum magnetization-demagnetization period for the system was found 10 s. © 2017 The Authors.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 35Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Constructal Vascular Channels for Self-Cooling: Parallel Channels, Tree-Shaped and Hybrid Designs(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Yenigün, Onur; Çetkin, ErdalIn this paper, we show experimentally and numerically how a plate which is subjected to a constant heat load can be kept under an allowable temperature limit. Vascular channels in which coolant fluid flows have been embedded in the plate. Three types of vascular channel designs were compared: parallel channels, tree-shaped and their hybrid. The effects of channel design on the thermal performance for different volume fractions (the fluid volume over the solid volume) are documented. In addition, the effects of the number of channels on cooling performance have been documented. Changing the design from parallel channels to tree-shaped designs decreases the order of pressure drop. Hence increase in the order of the convective heat transfer coefficient is achieved. However, tree-shaped designs do not bathe the entire domain, which increases the conductive resistances. Therefore, additional channels were inserted at the uncooled regions in the tree-shaped design (hybrid design). The best features of both parallel channels and tree-shaped designs are combined in the hybrid of them: the flow resistances to the fluid and heat flow become almost as low as the tree-shaped and parallel channels designs, respectively. The effect of design on the maximum temperature shows that there should be an optimum design for a distinct set of boundary conditions, and this design should be varied as the boundary conditions change. This result is in accord with the constructal law, i.e. the shape should be varied in order to minimize resistances to the flows.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.

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: 12Citation - Scopus: 11A Parametric Study on Isobaric Adsorption Process in a Closed Adsorbent Bed(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraA numerical study on heat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed filled with adsorbent granules for an isobaric adsorption process is performed. 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.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 19A Numerical Simulation Study for the Human Passive Thermal System(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Yıldırım, Eda Didem; Özerdem, BarışThe objective of this study is to create a dynamic model representing a transient three-dimensional passive thermal model of the human body. The model is a multi-segmental, multi-layered representation of the human body with spatial subdivisions which simulates the heat transfer phenomena within the body and at its surface. In order to represent the mechanisms of heat transfer within the body, energy balance equations including conduction with adjacent tissue, heat storage, metabolic heat generation, and convective heat transfer due to the blood flow in the capillaries are taken into consideration for each tissue. The present model of the passive system accounts for the geometric and anatomic characteristics of the human body and considers the thermo-physical and the basal physiological properties of tissue materials. It is assumed that the body is exposed to combination of the convection, evaporation and radiation which are taken into account as boundary conditions when solving the passive thermal system equation. The model is capable of predicting human body temperature in any given environmental conditions. Finite difference solution scheme is used to find out the temperature distribution of human body. The results are compared with the experimental data of previous studies present in the literature. Consequently, the numerical results of present model show good agreement with the experimental data.Article Citation - WoS: 357Citation - Scopus: 385Effect of Aspect Ratio on Entropy Generation in a Rectangular Cavity With Differentially Heated Vertical Walls(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Sunden, BengtIn the present study, entropy generation in rectangular cavities with the same area but different aspect ratios is numerically investigated. The vertical walls of the cavities are at different constant temperatures while the horizontal walls are adiabatic. Heat transfer between vertical walls occurs by laminar natural convection. Based on the obtained dimensionless velocity and temperature values, the distributions of local entropy generation due to heat transfer and fluid friction, the local Bejan number and local entropy generation number are determined and related maps are plotted. The variation of the total entropy generation and average Bejan number for the whole cavity volume at different aspect ratios for different values of the Rayleigh number and irreversibility distribution ratio are also evaluated. It is found that for a cavity with high value of Rayleigh number (i.e., Ra = 105), the total entropy generation due to fluid friction and total entropy generation number increase with increasing aspect ratio, attain a maximum and then decrease. The present results are compared with reported solutions and excellent agreement is observed. The study is performed for 102 < Ra < 105, 10- 4 < φ{symbol} < 10- 2, and Pr = 0.7.Article Citation - WoS: 101Citation - Scopus: 132Effect of Geometrical Parameters on Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Plate Fin and Tube Heat Exchangers(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Erek, Aytunç; Özerdem, Barış; Bilir, Levent; İlken, ZaferIn this study, the influences of the changes in fin geometry on heat transfer and pressure drop of a plate fin and tube heat exchanger are investigated, numerically. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program called Fluent is used in the analysis. The segment of one tenth of fin is used in the modeling, due to symmetrical condition. The results of heat transfer, static, and total pressure drop values of ten different fins are tabulated and the normalized values of them are, also, given for the comparison of the models. The distance between fins is found to have a considerable effect on pressure drop. It is observed that placing the fin tube at downstream region affects heat transfer positively. Another important result of the study is that increasing ellipticity of the fin tube increases the heat transfer while it, also, results in an important reduction in pressure drop.Article Citation - WoS: 58Citation - Scopus: 73Measurement of Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient for a Horizontal Cylinder Rotating in Quiescent Air(Elsevier Ltd., 2000) Özerdem, BarışThe present paper deals with convective heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder rotating in quiescent air, experimentally. The average convective heat transfer coefficients have been measured by using radiation pyrometer, which offers a new method. According to the experimental results, a correlation in terms of the average Nusselt number and rotating Reynolds number has been established. The equation, Nū = 0.318 Re(r)0.571, has been found valid for a range of the rotating Reynolds number from 2000 to 40000. The average Nusselt number increased with an increase in the rotating speed. Comparison of the results, with the previous studies, have been showed a good agreement with each other.
