Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 22Cavitation in Hydraulic Turbines(Edizioni Ets, 2019) Ayli, EceHydroenergy is one of the richest and most useful renewable energy sources in the world. Hydropower is a vital source as it is the clean energy source, sustainable and last but not least it is also cost-effective. One of the most important parameters that affect the performance of the hydraulic machines is the cavitation phenomenon, which is defined as the formation of the vapor bubbles in the liquid through any hydraulic turbine. In this paper, hydraulic machines, cavitation, types of cavitation are briefly described. After theoretical studies, analytical and numerical researches about cavitation in hydraulic machinery are discussed extensively. With those studies which are summarized in this paper covers a lot of ground about cavitation on the other hand further studies are needed about cavitation in hydro turbines. Numerical methods provide sufficient predictions for cavitation. However, numerical results should be verified by experimental measurements and detection methods to decide what intensity and which shape of cavitation is hazardous and vital, where the local pressure is lower than the vapor pressure and at which static pressure cavities start to grow and collapse.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Modeling of Mixed Convection in an Enclosure Using Multiple Regression, Artificial Neural Network, and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Interface System Models(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020) Ayli, EceIn this study, the heat transfer characteristics of laminar combined forced convection through a horizontal duct are obtained with the help of the numerical methods. The effect of the geometrical parameters of the cavity and Reynolds number on the heat transfer is investigated. New heat transfer correlation for hydrodynamically fully developed, laminar combined forced convection through a horizontal duct is proposed with an average error of 6.98% and R-2 of 0.8625. The obtained correlation results are compared with the artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system models. Due to the obtained results, good agreement is identified between the numerical results and predicted adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system results. In conclusion, it is seen that adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system can predict the Nusselt number distribution with a higher accuracy than the developed correlation and the artificial neural network model. The developed adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system model predicts the Nusselt number with 1.07% mean average percentage error and 0.9983 R-2 value. The effect of the different training algorithms and their ability to predict Nusselt number distribution are examined. According to the results, the Bayesian regulation algorithm gives the best approach with a 2.235% error. According to the examination that is performed in this study, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system is a powerful, robust tool that can be used with confidence for predicting the thermal performance.
