Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Mechanical Characteristics of Environmentally Friendly Permeable Pavement: Enhanced Porous Asphalt(Jordan Univ Science & Technology, 2024) Ibis, Ahmet Bugra; Sengoz, Burak; Almusawi, Ali; Ozdemir, Derya Kaya; Topal, AliThis study explores the mechanical properties of porous -asphalt pavement, focusing on the influence of various polymers (elastomeric and reactive elastomeric terpolymers) and different aggregate compositions. Two aggregates were utilized: one is exclusively limestone -based and the other is a blend of limestone and basalt aggregates. The research findings unveiled that mixtures containing the conventional bitumen failed to meet the Cantabro loss -test criterion required for porous asphalt, necessitating a maximum threshold of 20%. In contrast, asphalt mixtures modified with polymers exhibited notably superior performance, particularly in terms of permeability, Cantabro loss and the ratio of indirect tensile strength. These results underscore the significant impact of polymer modification on enhancing the crucial mechanical properties of porous asphalt. Therefore, the study suggests the adoption of polymer -modified asphalt as a viable strategy to improve pavement longevity and overall performance, promoting its use for sustainable and durable infrastructure.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 8The Performance of Water Jet Pumps and Their Application in Slurry Transportation(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2023) Kokpinar, Mehmet Ali; Gogus, MustafaThis present work is focused firstly on an experimental investigation for the optimum design of water jet pumps to be used in the hydrotransport of solid particles through pipeline systems. Experiments were conducted in a closed test loop using five types of jet pumps with various dimensions of the driving nozzle, suction nozzle, mixing chamber, and diffuser employing water as driving and suction fluid. The efficiency of each water jet pump element was analyzed and interpretations of results related to each water jet pump were made about the parts to be considered in the optimum design of a water jet pump. From the experimental results, the water jet pump having the optimum mixing chamber, suction nozzle, driving nozzle location, and cross-sectional dimensions produced a maximum efficiency of about 33%. In the second part of the study, the solid particle carrying capacity of water jet pumps in a pipeline system was studied under saltation, moving bed, and heterogeneous flow regimes by introducing seven different types of solid particles having various concentrations into the closed test loop. The effect of jet pumps on separating solid particles from flow in a region was investigated. A curved form of a by-pass system called the 'flow division unit' was added to the main pipeline system and through the flow division unit, then most of the solid particles in the flow were forced to flow towards the suction pipe of the jet pump. As a result of this, only water with very small particle concentrations passed through the centrifugal pumps, and in this way, the wear risk of the centrifugal pump was reduced considerably.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Flow Rate Along the Length of the Swirling Vortex Axis at an Intake(Turkish Chamber Civil Engineers, 2021) Yildirim, Nevzat; Tastan, KeremIn this study, the characteristics of the flow in the region of swirling vortex are examined. The potential flow model based on the summing infinite number of spherical sinks along the vortex core is introduced to predict the flow field and the flow rate along the vortex axis. The flow towards the swirling vortex core has considerable effects on the radial velocity distribution within the ambient fluid flow region near the intake. The agreement between available test data relating to the radial velocity and the method introduced in this study is found to be satisfactory.
