    Experimental Investigation of Naca 4415 Airfoil Using Vibration Data for Stall Detection
    (Emerald Group Publishing, 2023) Ayaz Ümütlü, Hatice Cansu; Kıral, Zeki; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan
    PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify the possible relation between the vibration and the stall by using the vibration response of the airfoil. For this purpose, the root mean square values of the acceleration signals are evaluated to demonstrate the compatibility between the stall angles and the vibration levels. Design/methodology/approachAn experimental study is conducted on NACA 4415 airfoil at Reynolds numbers 69e3, 77e3 and 85e3. Experiments are performed from 0 & DEG; to 25 & DEG; of the angles of attack (AoA) for each Reynolds number condition. To observe the change of the vibration values at the stall region clearly, experiments are performed with the AoA ranging from 10 & DEG; to 25 & DEG; in 1 & DEG; increments. Three acceleration sensors are used to obtain the vibration data. FindingsThe results show that the increase in the amplitude of the vibration is directly related to the decrease in lift. These findings indicate that this approach could be beneficial in detecting stall on airfoil-type structures. Originality/valueThis study proposes a new approach for detecting stall over the airfoil using the vibration data.

    Investigation of External Magnetic Field Effect on the Performance of Ferrofluid-Based Single-Phase Natural Circulation Loops
    (Elsevier, 2023) Bozkır, Selim Can; Çobanoğlu, Nur; Doğanay, Serkan; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan; Elçioğlu, Elif Begüm; Turgut, Alpaslan
    The goal of this study is to investigate the performance of a Single-Phase Natural Circulation mini Loop (SPNCmL) operating under the influence of an external magnetic field (EMF). For this purpose, a numerical SPNCmL model working with Fe3O4 ferrofluids (1-3 vol%.) under the influence of an EMF is developed to reflect the effect of a NdFeB permanent magnet with a remanence of 1.22 T located at the outlet of the cooler-end for the magnetic field generation. System characteristics such as temperature difference at heater-end (& UDelta;Theater) and maximum temperature (Tmax) and performance in terms of effectiveness (& epsilon;) are investigated. In addition, the effect of EMF on boundary layer energy transport along the cooler-end is evaluated in terms of the change in the local Nusselt number. Applying an EMF dramatically affects the system performance in terms of an increase in & UDelta;Theater and & epsilon;, respectively up to 34% and 25% compared to those with water. Tmax values are obtained by up to 9% higher for Fe3O4 ferrofluids compared to water, while applying EMF results in an increment in Tmax by up to 5%. Improved heat transfer performance by employing EMF at the cooler-end outlet of the SPNCmLs emphasizes their potential in cooling applications.

    The Developing Flow Characteristics of Water - Ethylene Glycol Mixture Based Fe3o4 Nanofluids in Eccentric Annular Ducts in Low Temperature Applications
    (Elsevier, 2022) Çobanoğlu, Nur; Banisharif, Alireza; Estelle, Patrice; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan
    Natural circulation loops with double pipe heat exchangers at heating and cooling ends have a potential to be used in the refrigeration systems as an alternative to suction line heat exchangers. The heat transfer capability of such natural circulation loops depends on the geometrical parameters as well as thermophysical properties of the working fluid. This study aims to investigate the effect of water-ethylene glycol mixture based Fe3O4 nanofluids (0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 vol.%) on the annular flow propagation and heat transfer in the annuli of double pipe heat exchanger at low pressure side of the refrigeration cycle. In addition to increased non-dimensional velocity values due to the lower viscosity and higher non-dimensional temperature values with expanded temperature gradient, improved heat transfer by nanofluids shows that they can be used as secondary heat transfer fluids at low-pressure side in refrigeration systems. Although the maximum transferred (13.6% improvement compared to base fluid) heat observed for the highest concentration, the nanofluids with smallest concentration has the minimum pressure drop value (25% reduction compared to base fluid) and the highest performance evaluation criteria (PEC) value (PEC = 1.08) with tiny increase in exergy destruction (1.45% compared to base fluid)
