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 paper aims is to highlight the unavoidable changes in industrial society together with the basic elements of this transformation as well as to take the attention of the readers on the healthiest change process. Some actions which are considered to be very …

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…

Today, the universal development tool of the globalization in the world is ICT. Therefore, the capacity of using advanced tools of ICT in developed countries is increasing rapidly. Intelligent technological tools have become a part of our lives. Intelligent sy…

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…

The aim of this study is to improve the quality of the effluent of Elazığ Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant with the technique of phytoremediation used in a biotechnological application. For this purpose, a reactor design which the effluent of Elazığ Munici…

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…

Eşikleme yöntemleri kenar belirleme, bölütleme ve kümeleme yaklaşımlarında sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Söz konusu teknikler yardımıyla renk kanallarından çeşitli sayıda kümeler elde edilebilir. Ancak, hangi yaklaşımın daha başarılı olduğu konusu belirsizliğini …

The importance of the service quality has increased because of the rapid development of the technology and globalization. In the global competition environment, teaching of the students that can provide the expectations of the society and the business world is…

In this study, an experimental investigation of electricity production from a thermoelectric cooler heated by solar energy heat pipe has been done. For this, a heat pipe with water as the working fluid has been manufactured. Approximately 300 ml of water stora…

In this study, the effect of still water cooling on electricity generation in a thermoelectric generator heated by solar energy heat pipe is experimentally investigated. For this purpose, a heat pipe with ethyl alcohol as the working fluid has been manufacture…

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…

This study was carried out in the pure oriental beech forests of Yenice-Kızılkay in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey, where the changes in the number of side roots and the changes in the height and diameter of the beech trees were examined in three diffe…

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a distributed system usually comprising a set of autonomous sensors nodes. These sensors are physically small in size and are capable to communicate with each other and capable of conveying data to recipients. In a large number…

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…

Climate change effects have been remarkably today; the determination of trends in temperatures, precipitation, stream flow, winds and evaporation has become considerable for the planning and management of water resources and engineering projects. Nowadays ther…

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 …

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…

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 …
