The aim of this study is to forecast installed wind power which is a one of the renewable energy resources in Turkey for the year of 2017 based on artificial neural network method using the normalized last ten-year data. An artificial neural network has been c…

Aim of the study: It is important to be able to plan the production transmission and distribution necessary for uninterrupted electricity and to use the electricity more efficiently and to make demand forecasts. For this reason, it is aimed to estimate the ele…

For a successful thermal performance, the right choice and design of the thermal management materials used in LED die-moulding, cooler and soldered parts is a critical engineering problem. Because they are affected by heat emitted from the pn junction in the L…

Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems consume about 15% of global electricity, and 46% of energy used in household and commercial buildings belongs to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Vapor-compression technologies dominate the HV…

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) method is prone to automation. In this way, by integrating the robot and automation systems have been easily developed. Thanks to the method, the effective overlapping joints can be obtained a short processing time. In the stu…

İnsanoğlunun hayatını devam ettirebilmesi için, yaşamı boyunca her türlü yapıya ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu bazen çok katlı bir yapı, bazen ise köprü kolonu ya da kirişi olabilmektedir. Yapısal bir eleman olan kolon veya kiriş ister köprüde ister binada kullanılsı…

Use of superplasticing chemical admixtures in concrete production is widespread all over the world and has become almost inevitable. Super-plasticizers (SPA), extend the setting time of concrete by adsorbing onto cement particles and provide concrete to preser…

In this work, Intralube E with 0.38 % C press-ready mix powders were pressed with 550 MPa pressure and sintered 25 min at 1120 °C. Samples were coated electrochemically with nano diamond (ND) reinforced nickel to study the effect of nano composite coating on c…

Taguchi’s robust parameter design focuses on reducing the system variability caused by the noise factors. The results obtained under unrealistic assumptions about the noises may mislead the practitioners when it comes to improving quality in robust design. For…

The aim of this study is to determine instantaneous irradiance and annual percentile sunlit time on the available rooftop floor area of Technical and Social Science Vocational School at Usak University by simulation using open source software. The building of …

Fins are basic structures which can be easily added to many engineering designs to improve heat transfer from hot surfaces. The addition of a fin to a particular heated surface can significantly increase the cooling at no extra cost. In some cases, standard fi…

Stress corrosion is a dangerous type of corrosion occuring as a result of effective with corrosive environment and stress of sensitive a material. Many metallic material may be exposed to stress corrosion damage depending on operating conditions. In order to d…

Evrimsel algoritma ve parçacık sürü algoritması çok uzun zamandır ayrı ayrı çeşitli karmaşık problemlerin çözümünde yaygın olarak kullanılan sezgisel algoritmalardır. Evrimsel algoritma canlıların çoğalmasını ve hayatta kalmak için en iyilerin seçilmesi tekniğ…

Grinding of brittle material such as glass is becoming crucial in consequence of rapid growth in the area of white goods. Industrial area, during flat glass processing iron based diamond wheels can be selected in order to improve the service life of the grindi…

Wireless Sensor Networks have many application fields including both industrial and military usages. They are used for monitoring temperature, distance, light, and motion in laboratories and/or application specific environments. This paper focuses on developin…

In this article, the influence of the use of three different bricks on the building heat performance is compared for use on wall surfaces as a building construction element. At the beginning of the analysis, the thermal analysis of the building was carried out…

In the present study, energy and exergy analyses of a solar powered absorption refrigeration system are corried out by terms of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. NH3-H2O fluid couple is used in the system. The analyses are performed with the help of…

In this paper, a thermal insulation analysis was carried out for a building using paper waste reinforced clay brick as building material. Firstly, the analysis was made using two different normal wall bricks as building material for the sample building. Later,…

This study presents the investigation of thorium utilization in an ADS with Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) target. To effectively burn thorium, the ThO2 fuel rods cylindrically prepared, and cladded with SiC, are mixed with 233UO2 at volumetric ratio of 1%. These…
