Review Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13A Review on Battery Thermal Management Strategies in Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries for Electric Vehicles(Yıldız Technical University, 2023) Güngör, Şahin; Göçmen, Sinan; Çetkin, ErdalElectrification on transportation and electricity generation via renewable sources play a vital role to diminish the effects of energy usage on the environment. Transition from the conven- tional fuels to renewables for transportation and electricity generation demands the storage of electricity in great capacities with desired power densities and relatively high C-rate values. Yet, thermal and electrical characteristics vary greatly depending on the chemistry and struc- ture of battery cells. At this point, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are more suitable in most applications due to their superiorities such as long lifetime, high recyclability, and capacities. However, exothermic electrochemical reactions yield temperature to increase suddenly which affects the degradation in cells, ageing, and electrochemical reaction kinetics. Therefore, strict temperature control increases battery lifetime and eliminates undesired situations such as lay- er degradation and thermal runaway. In the literature, there are many distinct battery thermal management strategies to effectively control battery cell temperatures. These strategies vary based on the geometrical form, size, capacity, and chemistry of the battery cells. Here, we focus on proposed battery thermal management strategies and current applications in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. In this review, various battery thermal management strategies are doc- umented and compared in detail with respect to geometry, thermal uniformity, coolant type and heat transfer methodology for Li-ion and post-lithium batteries.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Oluklu alüminyum sandviç panellerde kor yüksekliğinin enerji sönümleme kapasitesine olan etkisi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Kılıçaslan, Cenk; Güden, MustafaIn this study, energy absorbing capacity of brazed and polyurethane adhesively bonded corrugated aluminum sandwich panels were investigated. In sandwich panels, Al 1050 H14 trapezoidal zig-zag corrugated cores and face and interlayer sheets were used. Each sandwich panel has core orientation of 0 degrees/0 degrees or 0 degrees/90 degrees. The cores used in these panels were smaller, core height is about 3 mm, in contrast to conventional sandwich cores. Impact tests were conducted at 3 and 6 m/s with spherical projectors. Adhesively bonded sandwich panels were also tested at 6 m/s with flat and conical projectors. Numerical models were prepared in LSDYNA to investigated the deformation behavior of cores. Panels tested with flat and conical projectors experienced complete perforation and absorbed more energy at configuration of 0 degrees/0 degrees core orientation. However, panels tested with spherical projectors were not perforated and they absorbed more energy at configuration of 0 degrees/90 degrees core orientation. Energy absorbing capacity of the panels were also compared to the panels having 9 mm height corrugated cores. The results showed that effective collapsing length was seen to increase due to increase in core height and impact energy distributed the whole panel surface more homogenous manner.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Effect of Cnt Incorporation on Pan/Ppy Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method(TÜBİTAK, 2020) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Tanoğlu, Metin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Selamet, YusufIn this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added polyacrylonitrile/polypyrrole (PAN/PPy) electrospun nanofibers were produced. Average diameters of the nanofibers were measured as 268 and 153 nm for 10 and 25 wt% of PPy contents, respectively. A relatively higher strain to failure values (23.3%) were observed for the low PPy content. When as-grown CNTs (1 and 4 wt%) were added into the PAN/PPy blends, disordered nanofibers were observed to form within the microstructure. To improve the interfacial properties of CNTs/PAN/PPy composites, CNTs were functionalized with H2SO4/HNO3/HCl solution. The functionalized CNTs were well dispersed within the nanofibers and aligned along the direction of nanofibers. Therefore, beads formation on nanofibers decreased. The impedance of the nanofibers was found to decrease with the PPy content and CNT addition. These nanofibers had a great potential to be used as an electrochemical actuator or a tissue engineering scaffold.Article Citation - WoS: 1Performance Analysis of Thermal Storage Assisted Cooling Tower With Night Cooling(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Ouedraogo, Kiswendsida Elias; Toprak, KasımAs global warming and water scarcity issues continue to grow, it is essential to increase resources efficiency for air conditioners and power plants. In order to increase the efficiency, the systems need to be modified to take the advantages of the low night temperature and thermal storage tanks. In this study, the low night temperature and thermal storage tanks effects on the cooling tower is studied using TRNSYS. Using a chiller operating from 8:00 to 16:00 as a case study, hot water from the condenser is partially stored on daytime and cooled slowly during the night. The storage tank volume is optimized by considering two big tanks and five small tanks. The results show that night cooling reduces cooling water temperature by 5.8 degrees C or 21.8% while the cooling efficiency is increased by 36%. The thermal storage tanks enable to have the low continuous flow rate and help to reduce the fan power by 67.1%. On the storage side, compared to two tanks system, the tanks volume is reduced by 16.5% when 5 tanks are used. In theory this reduction can go up to 50% by increasing the number of tanks and reducing their individual size.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 30Bone Marrow Stem Cells Adapt To Low-Magnitude Vibrations by Altering Their Cytoskeleton During Quiescence and Osteogenesis(TUBITAK, 2015) Demiray, Levent; Özçivici, EnginApplication of mechanical vibrations is anabolic to bone tissue, not only by guiding mature bone cells to increased formation, but also by increasing the osteogenic commitment of progenitor cells. However, the sensitivity and adaptive response of bone marrow stem cells to this loading regimen has not yet been identified. In this study, we subjected mouse bone marrow stem cell line D1-ORL-UVA to daily mechanical vibrations (0.15 g, 90 Hz, 15 min/day) for 7 days, both during quiescence and osteogenic commitment, to identify corresponding ultrastructural adaptations on cellular and molecular levels. During quiescence, mechanical vibrations significantly increased total actin content and actin fiber thickness, as measured by phalloidin staining and fluorescent microscopy. Cellular height also increased, as measured by atomic force microscopy, along with the expression of focal adhesion kinase (PTK2) mRNA levels. During osteogenesis, mechanical vibrations increased the total actin content, actin fiber thickness, and cytoplasmic membrane roughness, with significant increase in Runx2 mRNA levels. These results show that bone marrow stem cells demonstrate similar cytoskeletal adaptations to low-magnitude high-frequency mechanical loads both during quiescence and osteogenesis, potentially becoming more sensitive to additional loads by increased structural stiffness.Article Citation - WoS: 3Validation on of Local Thermal Equilibrium and Uniform Pressure Assumptions for an Isobaric Adsorption Process in an Adsorbent Bed(Türk Isı Bilimi ve Tekniği Derneği, 2016) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraBu çalışmanın amacı, adsorbent yatakta ısı ve kütle transferini analiz etmek için kullanılan yerel ısıl denge ve sabit basınç yaklaşımı varsayımların geçerliliğini araştırmaktır. İçerisinde silika jel partikülleri içeren bir yatak ile su kabı olan bir deney düzeneği tasarlanmış ve adsorpsiyon sürecinde yatağın içinde farklı yerlerde yerel sıcaklık ve basınç ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca, sabit basınç yaklaşımı ve yerel ısıl denge varsayımlara dayalı ısı ve kütle transferi denklemleri çözülmüştür. Sayısal sonuçlar, ilgili deneysel sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmış ve aralarında oldukça iyi bir uyum tespit edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen karşılaştırmaya dayanarak, incelenen yatak için iki önemli sonuç şu şekildedir: a) katı madde ve su buharı arasında yerel ısıl denge bulunmaktadır, b) bir yatak içinde parçacıklar arası kütle transferi direnci ihmal edilebilir düzeyde olup konsantrasyonunun ve sıcaklığın belirlenmesi için sabit basınç yaklaşımı geçerlidir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada sunulan deneysel sonuçlar diğer araştırmacıların sayısal çalışmalarının geçerliliğini doğtulamak için değerli veriler sağlayacaktır.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4The Effect of Cooling on Mechanical and Thermal Stresses in Vascular Structures(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2018) Çetkin, ErdalHere, we show how the vascular channel configuration and its shape affect the mechanical strength which is simultaneously subjected to heating and mechanical load. The material properties were defined as functions of temperature. The effect of channel cross-section on the coolant mass flow rate, peak temperature and peak stresses are documented. The results show that the resistances to flow of stresses and fluid is minimum with the circular channels while the resistance to the heat flow is the smallest with semi-circular channels. In addition, morphing the vascular design provides almost the smallest resistance to the heat flow with circular channels (0.3% difference in the peak temperature). This shows that even the convective resistances are the smallest with circular-cross section, overall thermal resistance is smaller in semi-circular design for the fixed fluid volume. The peak stress is smaller with hybrid design than the parallel designs for the entire pressure drop range. In addition, the effects of mechanical load, heating rate and reference temperature on the stress distribution are also documented. Furthermore, the thermal and mechanical stresses are also documented separately, and then compared with the coupled solution cases. The chief result of this paper is that for a coupled system minimizing only one of the resistance terms is not sufficient, all the resistances considered simultaneously in order to uncover the best performing design. In coupled solutions, we documented the simulation results with temperature dependent material properties and the resistances to the heat and fluid flow is affected by the mechanical deformations. In addition, the results show that the designs should be free to vary, the unexpected designs can be the best performing designs for the given parameters and constraints. Therefore, the design parameters based on the experience does not always yield the best performing designs as the objectives and constraints vary.Article Silika Yüzeylerin Islanma Hareketlerinin Moleküler Dinamik ile Modellenmesi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2018) Barışık, MuratYeni üretim tekniklerine paralel olarak nano-boyutlu teknolojiler çok geniş bir uygulama alanında kullanılmaya başlanmakta ve yeni uygulamalar geliştirmek için keşfedilmesi ve anlaşılması gereken konular süratle artmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, yeni uygulamalarda sıkça yer bulan silikon ve silikon-dioksitin mikro/nano boyutlardaki malzeme özelliklerinin anlaşılmasına büyük ihtiyaç oluşmaktadır. Özellikle bu yüzeylerin ıslanma hareketlerinin anlaşılabilmesi ve hatta kullanılacak uygulamaya göre ayarlanabilmesi sayısız uygulama için önem arz etmektedir. Bu nedenlerle, nano-teknolojide sıkça kullanılan silikon-dioksit malzemesinin ve su moleküllerinin nano-ölçeklerde moleküler olarak modellenmesi bu çalışmada gerçekleştirildi. Modelleme molekuler dinamik hesaplamaları ile yapıldı. Silikon-dioksit yüzey üzerinde nano su damlacıkları oluşturup, denge halinde oluşan ıslatma açısı ölçümleri yapıldı. Literatürde işlem yükünü azaltmak için sıklıkla uygulanan, katı yüzey termal titreşimlerinin ıslatmaya olan etkisinin ihmal edilmesi ve modellenmemesinin ıslatma açısına olan etkisi incelendi. Katı moleküllerin termal titreşimlerinin ıslatma modellenen ıslatma fiziğine baskın bir etkisi olduğu görüldü. Geçtiğimiz yıllarda doğa taklidi olarak bilinen çalışma çevreleri tarafından hayata geçirilmeye çalışılan Lotus yaprağı etkisi temelli yüzey ıslatma kontrolu moleküler seviyede uygulandı. Yüzey üzerinde oluşturulan nano boyutlardaki yüzey yapılarının ıslanma açısını değiştirebildiği gösterildi. Temiz (0 0 1) silika yüzeyinde nano ölçek çizgi gerilimi etkisi altında ölçülen ıslanma açısının deneysel silika ıslanma açısı aralığında olduğu bulundu.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7The Importance of Internal Heat Gains for Building Cooling Design(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2017) Coşkun, Turgay; Turhan, Cihan; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenThis paper aims to investigate the effect of internal heat gains on the cooling load of a building. The house occupied by three adult men is selected as the case study for paper. The house is in the third floor of the apartment. The apartment has four flats and it has no insulation around the external walls. The heat dissipation from lighting devices, electrical equipment and the occupants are calculated by using the DesignBuilder v4 Beta release simulation program. The temperature of the house is observed during three weeks by using hobo data loggers and calibration of the measurements is made with respect to weather data file of the flat. Detailed schedule based on time of operation and occupancy is prepared to get more accurate results. Annual energy consumption and cooling load of the house is determined by using the dynamic simulation program.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 22Effects of Spaceflight on Cells of Bone Marrow Origin(Aves, 2013) Özçivici, EnginOnce only a subject for science fiction novels, plans for establishing habitation on space stations, the Moon, and distant planets now appear among the short-term goals of space agencies. This article reviews studies that present biomedical issues that appear to challenge humankind for long-term spaceflights. With particularly focus on cells of bone marrow origin, studies involving changes in bone, immune, and red blood cell populations and their functions due to extended weightlessness were reviewed. Furthermore, effects of mechanical disuse on primitive stem cells that reside in the bone marrow were also included in this review. Novel biomedical solutions using space biotechnology will be required in order to achieve the goal of space exploration without compromising the functions of bone marrow, as spaceflight appears to disrupt homeostasis for all given cell types.
