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…
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…
In this study, the experimental application of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM-FC) with dc-dc boost converter is realized for compact design of electric vehicle (eV). The PEM-FC is an electro-chemical device which combines hydrogen with oxygen to p…
In this study, we focused on to drive a compound DC motor with a Fuel-Cell and battery, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. A fuel cell can supply maximum 40V electric. In order to drive a DC motor, it needs 200Vdc. Therefore, a microcontroller controlled boost con…
Analysis of faults in synchronous generators are so important to protect the generators and the power systems. In this paper, double line-to-ground fault analysis in unloaded synchronous generator is presented. Apart from the similar studies in the literature,…
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are configurable logic semiconductor devices which connect by programmable interconnections. They can be reprogrammed to desired application or functionality requirements. VHDL is a one of the hardware descriptive languag…
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…
In this study, Al-12Si ingot alloy was melted in an electric resistance furnace and then poured into metal moulds through traditional casting method. Optimum machining conditions is aimed to determine by investigating the effects of cutting parameters on surfa…
Nowadays, competition in industrial production has come to the top with technological improvements. In this competitive environment, producers need better quality, faster and less costly production methods. So, the use of industrial robotic systems is becoming…
Nowadays new applications and new web sites are being developed, better methods and tools are needed in order to be able to develop web or mobile applications in a fast and interactive way with minimal code structure. In this point, both the design of the appl…
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…
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…
