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,…

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…

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…

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…

Hızla gelişen bilgisayar teknolojileri bilginin önemi ve kullanımı konusunda yeni boyutların ortaya çıkmasına imkân sağlamıştır. Bilgilerin toplanması, depolanması, analiz edilmesi ve kullanıma sunulması bilginin ileriye dönük sağlayacağı avantajlar nedeniyle …

Exhaust gas distribution in street canyons is one of the important research subjects in urban air quality studies. Vehicle emissions are an important group of pollutants in urban areas. In this study, the dispersion of exhaust emissions from vehicles in canyon…

Building automation and control systems (BACs) allow plants in buildings to be controlled and managed, thus increasing the users' comfort and reducing the operation and maintenance costs. As far as the lighting services are concerned, control systems offer an …

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 …

Aluminum based metal matrix composites are frequently used in automotive, aircraft, space, automotive, agricultural and building industries due to their easy shaping, good heat and electrical conductivity, low density, high strength and toughness. In these com…

In this study, research on the determination of the technological level in the greenhouse mechanization in Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey has been carried out. The technological equipment and operating parameters that should be in a modern greenhouse h…

Görüntü bölütleme, görüntü işlemenin önemli aşamalarından biridir ve SRG (Seeded Region Growing – Tohumlu Bölge Genişletme) en bilinen bölge tabanlı bölütleme tekniklerindendir. Bu çalışmada tohum seçimlerinin, tohumlu alan genişletmedeki başarıya etkisi incel…

This paper describes a laboratory application for the forecasting the dielectric properties, using an artificial neural network embedded in a microprocessor. The dielectric permittivity and loss factor of the insulation material were determined as a function o…

Researchers attention on the optimization methods to solve several applications increases recently by the advances in the technological field. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm that has been quite popular during the recent years is firstly used in this study…

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…

The use of GPUs for general purpose applications is not a recent approach, but it was quickly becoming widespread with NVIDIA's CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) architecture based on C programming language in 2007. Algorithms suitable for parallel op…

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…

The structure of the gas diffusion layer influences cell performance because it also affects the passage of reaction gases and electrons. In this study, the effect of the thickness of the gas diffusion layer on the cell performance for the singlecelled PEM fue…

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…
