Master Thesis Steady and Unsteady Aerodynamic Analysis of the Airfoil Profiles by Using Vortex Singularity Elements(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Elmacı, Salim Cenk; Özkol, Ünver; Özbahçeci, BergüzarThe steady and unsteady 2D flows around the airfoil were analyzed by utilizing the vortex singularity elements with two different inviscid flow models. Firstly, the steady flow was modeled in the light of steady state algorithm available in the literature. Then, the unsteady flow model was developed by some modifications on the algorithm of the steady flow. All the algorithms were transformed to the code in MATLAB® 2018a environment. For the steady state model, lift coefficients were compared with the inviscid and inviscid-viscous coupling models of the Xfoil 6.9 program data (Drela, 2001); and NASA experimental archive (Ira Herbert Abbott & Von Doenhoff, 1959). Since the model is inviscid, the reference point is the inviscid solvers; and the model agreed well with the Xfoil 6.9 inviscid mode for different type of airfoils. The unsteady model was created with three different operating modes; which are the sudden forward, heaving and the pitching. For the sudden forward motion, the lift and drag coefficients were compared with the studies in the literature. Besides, the lift, drag moment coefficients; and the wake patterns of the heaving and pitching motions were compared with the experimental data in the literature. The model is limited in terms of reflecting lift, drag and moment coefficients due to the not being included the viscous effects, flow separation, stall etc.; however, in terms of capturing the wake patterns, the model is quite useful.Master Thesis Cogeneration Sustainability Study for the Izmir Institute of Technology(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Ahmad, Awais; Rodriguez, Alvaro DiezIn this study, feasibility of Cogeneration/Combined Cycle System will be evaluated for the Izmir Institute of Technology. Turkish Energy Policy lacks some key factors which need to be highlighted for achieving Energy targets. The first aim of this study is to compare the policies and implementation of combined cycle systems of Turkey with Europe and to analyze the steps carried out by European Countries to achieve sustainability. The main objective of this study includes the implementation of a combined cycle system based on the data collection from the authorities of the Institute to analyze the deficiencies of existing system and to propose a more efficient system for meeting the energy demand. Two systems were taken in consideration, a gas turbine and a reciprocating engine based combined cycle system, detailed energy analysis with emissions and cost analysis were presented to determine what case provides the best solution to meet the energy demand.
