    Nonlineer Denklemleri Çözmek için Yeni Öngörme-düzeltme Tipi Yineli Yöntemler
    (2017) Dinçkal, Çiğdem
    Bu makale, nonlineer denklemleri çözmek için, iki yeni öngörme-düzeltme tipi yineli yöntem önerir. Bu yöntemler, iyi bilinen ikiye bölme yöntemi ve Newton-Raphson yönteminin kombinasyonuna dayalı bir şekilde oluşturulmuştur. Çeşitli nümerik örnekler, bu yöntemlerin ana amaçlarını doğrulamaya ve nümerik sonuçlarını karşılaştırmaya hizmet etmektedir. Nümerik sonuçlar, herhangi nonlineer bir denklemin tam köküne ulaşmak için elde edilecek yineleme sayısı cinsinden bu yeni önerilen yöntemlerin yakınsama hızlarını test etmek için de sunulmuştur. Elde edilen bu nümerik sonuçlar, önerilen yeni yöntemlerin iyi bilinen her iki yöntemlerden biri olan ikiye bölme ve NewtonRaphson'dan ve ayrıca literatürdeki diğer yöntemlerden de daha iyi performans gösterdiğine de, işaret etmektedir.

    The Performance of Water Jet Pumps and Their Application in Slurry Transportation
    (Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2023) Kokpinar, Mehmet Ali; Gogus, Mustafa
    This 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.

    Environmental Impact Assessment of Coal Power Plants in Operation
    (E D P Sciences, 2017) Kucukali, Serhat; Ar, Irfan; Bartan, Ayfer
    Coal power plants constitute an important component of the energy mix in many countries. However, coal power plants can cause several environmental risks such as: climate change and biodiversity loss. In this study, a tool has been proposed to calculate the environmental impact of a coal-fired thermal power plant in operation by using multicriteria scoring and fuzzy logic method. We take into account the following environmental parameters in our tool: CO, SO2, NOx, particulate matter, fly ash, bottom ash, the cooling water intake impact on aquatic biota, and the thermal pollution. In the proposed tool, the boundaries of the fuzzy logic membership functions were established taking into account the threshold values of the environmental parameters which were defined in the environmental legislation. Scoring of these environmental parameters were done with the statistical analysis of the environmental monitoring data of the power plant and by using the documented evidences that were obtained during the site visits. The proposed method estimates each environmental impact factor level separately and then aggregates them by calculating the Environmental Impact Score (EIS). The proposed method uses environmental monitoring data and documented evidence instead of using simulation models. The proposed method has been applied to the 4 coal-fired power plants that have been operation in Turkey. The Environmental Impact Score was obtained for each power plant and their environmental performances were compared. It is expected that those environmental impact assessments will contribute to the decision-making process for environmental investments to those plants. The main advantage of the proposed method is its flexibility and ease of use.
