Numerical simulation of thermal convection under the influence of a magnetic field by using solenoidal bases
Yarımpabuç, Durmuş; Tarman, Işık Hakan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
The effect of an imposed magnetic field on the thermal convection between rigid plates heated from below under the influence of gravity is numerically simulated in a computational domain with periodic horizontal extent. The numerical technique is based on solenoidal basis functions satisfying the boundary conditions for both velocity and induced magnetic field. The expansion bases for the thermal field are also constructed to satisfy the boundary conditions. The governing partial differential equations are ...
Computational modelling of free surface flow in intake structures using flow 3D software
Ergen, Mehmet Kayra; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Turkey is a developing country and its energy demand is increasing due to its growing population and industry. As a result, to fulfill this growing energy demand, Turkey is currently developing its unused hydropower potential, especially through small hydroelectric power plants (SHPPs). Estimation of annual electricity generation of a small hydropower plant strongly depends on streamflow data. In Turkey, there are a limited number of streamgaging stations so the estimation of streamflow at a potential SHPP ...
Experimental Investigation of Uninterrupted and Interrupted Microchannel Heat Sinks
SOYSAL, Ayse Gozde Ulu; Sert, Cüneyt; Yazicioglu, Almila Guvenc (2013-09-27)
In this work, the relation between heat transfer performance and interruption of microchannels was investigated. Experiments were conducted on uninterrupted and interrupted aluminium channel heat sinks of different channel widths. Two different types of interrupted channels were tested: channels having single interruption and 7 interruptions. Distilled water was used to remove a constant heat load of 40 W in the volumetric flow rate range of 0.5-1.1 lpm. The interruption of channels improved the thermal per...

Adaptive estimation and hypothesis testing methods
Dönmez, Ayça; Tiku, Moti Lal; Department of Statistics (2010)
For statistical estimation of population parameters, Fisher’s maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are commonly used. They are consistent, unbiased and efficient, at any rate for large n. In most situations, however, MLEs are elusive because of computational difficulties. To alleviate these difficulties, Tiku’s modified maximum likelihood estimators (MMLEs) are used. They are explicit functions of sample observations and easy to compute. They are asymptotically equivalent to MLEs and, for small n, are equal...
