    Effects of in situ exopolysaccharide production and fermentation conditions on physicochemical, microbiological, textural and microstructural properties of Turkish-type fermented sausage (sucuk)

    Dertli, Enes; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Tatlisu, Nevruz Berna; Toker, Omer Said; Cankurt, Hasan; Sagdic, Osman

    In this work, the role of in situ exopolysaccharide (EPS) production under different fermentation conditions on physicochemical, microbiological, textural and microstructural properties of sucuk was determined. For this purpose, the effect of EPS producing strains (control, strain 1, strain 2 and mixture) and fermentation conditions (fermentation temperature; 14, 16 and 18 °C and time; 8, 12 and 16 days) on physicochemical, microbiological, textural and microstructural properties were investigated using response surface methodology. In situ EPS production was observed to remarkably affect these properties while fermentation conditions were also seen to dominantly influence the physicochemical properties of sucuk, revealing that the ripening temperature appeared to be more determinant factor. EPS producing cultures enhanced the textural properties of sucuk which became harder, less adhesive and tougher. The microstructural analysis revealed the formation of web-like structure by in situ EPS production in sucuk mix during fermentation process. This study revealed the importance of in situ EPS production on final technological properties of sucuk.

    Investigation of the effect of canola methyl ester on cyclic variation using wavelet analysis method

    Efe, Şükran; Ceviz, M.A.

    Diesel engines are the most commonly used internal combustion engine in transportation, power generation, and other industries. Combustion in the diesel engines takes place at high temperatures due to the high compression ratio, and therefore high energy is obtained when diesel fuel is used. But the most commonly used alternative fuel diesel engines is biodiesel today. The market share of biodiesel is on the rise because of the increasing damage of diesel and decreasing oil reserves to the environment. In this study, cyclic variation that occurred when canola biodiesel (canola methyl ester) that is produced by transesterification method was used as diesel fuel was investigated. Three different biodiesel ratios, B20, B50, and B100 were used in the study. In interpretation cyclic variations wavelet analysis method is used and all results are compared with diesel fuel. It is concluded that the use of biodiesel in diesel engines has positive effect on cyclic variation and this effect increases with the increasing ratio of biodiesel in the mixture.

    Optimum design of braced steel frames via teaching learning based optimization

    Artar, Musa

    In this study, optimum structural designs of braced (non-swaying) planar steel frames are investigated by using one of the recent meta-heuristic search techniques, teaching-learning based optimization. Optimum design problems are performed according to American Institute of Steel Construction-Allowable Stress Design (AISCASD) specifications. A computer program is developed in MATLAB interacting with SAP2000 OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface) to conduct optimization procedures. Optimum cross sections are selected from a specified list of 128W profiles taken from AISC. Two different braced planar frames taken from literature are carried out for stress, geometric size, displacement and inter-storey drift constraints. It is concluded that teaching-learning based optimization presents robust and applicable optimum solutions in multi-element structural problems.

    A New Energy Prediction Algorithm for Energy-Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks With Q-Learning

    Kosunalp, Selahattin

    Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) face the problem of a limited-energy source, typically batteries, resulting in the need for careful and effective utilization of the energy source. However, inevitable energy depletion will eventually disturb the operation of a WSN. Energy harvesting (EH) technology is acquiring particular interest, because it has the potential to provide a continuous energy supply in battery-powered WSNs. Solar energy is the most effective environmental energy for EH-WSNs because of its high energy intensity, which comes from a non-controllable source. Therefore, the prediction of future energy availability is a critical issue, as the amount of the harvestable energy may vary over time. In this paper, a novel solar energy prediction algorithm with Q-learning, called Q-learning-based solar energy prediction (QL-SEP), is proposed. Q-learning is an effective way of predicting future actions based on past observations. The distinctive feature of QL-SEP is that not only past days' observations but also the current weather conditions are considered for prediction. The performance of QL-SEP is simulated in this paper using real-world measurements obtained from a solar panel in comparison with the state-of-art approaches.

    Surface and optical properties of indium tin oxide layer deposition by RF magnetron sputtering in argon atmosphere

    Yudar, H. Hakan; Korkmaz, Şadan; Özen, Soner; Şenay, Volkan; Pat, Suat

    This study focused on the characterization and properties of transparent and conductive indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films deposited in argon atmosphere. ITO thin films were coated onto glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique at 75 and 100 W RF powers. Structural characteristics of producing films were investigated through X-ray diffraction analysis. UV–Vis spectrophotometer and interferometer were used to determine transmittance, absorbance and reflectance values of samples. The surface morphology of the films was characterized by atomic force microscope. The calculated band gaps were 3.8 and 4.1 eV for the films at 75 and 100 W, respectively. The effect of RF power on crystallinity of prepared films was explored using mentioned analysis methods. The high RF power caused higher poly crystallinity in the produced samples. The thickness and refractive index values for all samples increased respect to an increment of RF power and were calculated as 20, 50 nm and 1.71, 1.86 for samples at 75 and 100 W, respectively. Finally, the estimated grain sizes for all prepared films decreased with increasing of 2θ degrees, and the number of crystallite per unit volume was calculated. It was found that nearly all properties including sheet resistance and resistivity depend on the RF power.

    Clarification of magnetic levitation force and stability property of multi-seeded YBCO in point of supercurrent coupling effect

    Ozturk, K.; Kabaer, M.; Abdioglu, M.; Patel, A.; Cansiz, A.

    In our study as different from the literature, which are mostly related to superconductor fabrication, application and optimization, especially physical origins of bulk supercurrent generation, magnetic levitation and stability properties of the multi-seeded YBCO superconductor are investigated in point of supercurrent coupling effect. Besides the experimental measurements, a simplified simulation of the supercurrent coupling in the multi-seeded bulk YBCO is carried out based on the experimental J(c)(B) data taken from literature and using the critical state method and H-formulation together in COMSOL Multiphysics package, to further elucidate the mechanism of supercurrent generation and guidance force. The bigger guidance force and lateral magnetic stiffness values of PMG-B arrangement with three B-z peaks than the other arrangements with one Bz peak in small cooling height of 5 mm are attributed to the more robust individual intragrain supercurrents, rather than intergrain supercurrent, due to the position coincidence in the z-direction between grains and permanent magnet poles. Additionally, it can be said that PMG-C arrangement with one Bz peak getting to the maximum guidance force value when the cooling height increase from 5 mm to 15 mm, points out for large cooling height the intergrain supercurrents dominate, whereas for the small cooling height the intragrain supercurrents have most effect on the guidance force. Also, performed the supercurrent simulations, using different current flow constraint ratio f (or supercurrent coupling parameter), clearly reproduced the qualitative change in the trapped field profile when the allowed intergrain current compared to no intergrain current (f = 0). It is thought that the presented results, related to the supercurrent generation, coupling mechanism and their effect on levitation and lateral force properties, have utilization potential for researches not only they study on new multiseed superconductor fabrication method, but also they study on superconductor applications.

    Optical, Structural and Morphological Characterization of a Zn-Doped GaAs Semiconducting Thin Film Produced by Thermionic Vacuum Arc

    Senay, Volkan; Özen, Soner; Pat, Suat; Korkmaz, Sadan

    A 780 nm thick Zn-doped GaAs p-type semiconducting film was deposited onto a glass substrate under a high vacuum condition by means of the thermionic vacuum arc technique in a very short period of time (90 sec) using GaAs and Zn pellets as source materials. In order to characterize the produced film, the optical constants and absorbance of the film were measured using optical methods. By using the obtained optical absorbance data, the optical band gap was estimated from the Tauc plot based on the relation (alpha hv)(2) = B(hv - E-g). The refractive index value of the film was 3.73 at lambda = 632.8 nm. The band gap was estimated to be 1.35 eV. According to the results obtained from the FESEM and AFM related studies, the produced film displayed a granular surface morphology with a root mean square roughness of 17 nm. Contact angle measurements of several testing liquids were used to characterize the film in terms of wettability. It was found that the contact angle value was dependent on the liquid used. However, the film was hydrophilic as observed in contact angle measurements.

    Karaali, Rabi; Öztürk, İlhan Tekin

    In this study, air preheating, air-fuel preheating and simple cycles where steam injected in to combustion chamber are analyzed. The effects of steam injection on thermodynamic performance are calculated and obtained for the three different gas turbine cogeneration systems. Simulation programs written by the authors in FORTRAN code are obtained for the analyses by applying the first law of thermodynamics and the exergy analysis method. Thermodynamic performance of these three different cycles for variable mass of injected steam and different stages are obtained and compared with the results of the literature. The effects of injection steam into combustion chambers of those three cycles for variable compressing ratios, on power, efficiencies and performance are obtained. Consequently, the advantages and the disadvantages of injection steam are evaluated and all results of this study are compared with the literature. Injection steam into combustion chamber increases the electricity power and the electricity efficiency but decreases the heat power of the cycles.

    Removal of Reactive Black 5 from wastewater using natural clinoptilolite modified with apolaccase

    Nadaroglu, Hayrunnisa; Kalkan, Ekrem; Celebi, Neslihan; Tasgin, Esen

    In this study, a clinoptilolite modified with apolaccase was used to adsorb Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye from aqueous solution using the batch procedure. The influences of pH, contact time, temperature and absorbent dosage on the adsorption were investigated. The optimum adsorption was obtained at pH = 6, contact time = 60 min, temperature = 25 degrees C and adsorbent dosages of 1.62 and 1.59 mg/50 mL per gram of clinoptilolite and of apolaccase-modified clinoptilolite (LMC), respectively). The adsorption experimental data fitted both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models well. In addition, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetics were used to study the kinetics of RB5 dye adsorption onto natural clinoptilolite and LMC. Adsorption appears to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics with a high correlation coefficient. Thermodynamic parameters such as changes in the free energy (Delta G degrees), enthalpy (Delta H degrees) and entropy (Delta S degrees) of adsorption were calculated. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption of RB5 dye onto LMC was less spontaneous, feasible and endothermic. The LMC can be used as an alternative low-cost adsorbent for the dye removal from aqueous solutions.

    Thermoeconomic optimization of gas turbine cogeneration plants

    Karaali, Rabi; Öztürk, Ilhan Tekin

    In this study, a novel thermoeconomic optimization method that is simple and efficient, for real complex cycles is introduced. First, a thermoeconomic analysis method that is called non-linear simplex direct search method is improved for the purposes of this study. The objective of this paper is to apply this method to four cogeneration cycles that are simple cycle, inlet air cooling cycle, air preheated and air-fuel preheated cycles for analyzing and optimizing. The four cycles are thermoeconomically optimized for constant power and steam mass (30 MW and 14 kg/s saturated steam flow rate at 2000 kPa), for constant power (30 MW) and for variable steam mass, and for variable power and steam mass by using the cost equation method and the effect of size on equipment method. The results obtained by the effect of size on equipment and by the cost equations methods are very different from each other. For the case of global optimization, the optimum electricity costs which also correspond to minimum are obtained as 0,0432 $/kWh for simple cycle, 0,0514 $/kWh for inlet air cooling cycle 0,0577 $/kWh for air preheated cycle and 0,058 $/kWh for air-fuel preheated cycle by using cost equations method.

    DAMAGE DETECTION IN SIMULATED SPACE FRAMES USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS

    Artar, Musa; Daloglu, Ayse T.

    Genetic algorithms (GA) based finite element model updating are applied to predict damage location and severity in space frames. The changes in natural frequencies are used as dynamic indicators to describe damaged members. Objective functions including dynamic data provide minimization of dynamic differences between numerical model and simulated damaged model. The presence of damages in structural elements is identified by stiffness reduction as a reduction in modulus of elasticity. Reproduction, double-point crossover and mutation operators are used in GA optimization procedures. In this paper, different simulated examples having various damage scenarios are modelled in SAP2000 software to obtain the experimental dynamic data. In the last example, noise effect is taken into account in simulated damaged data. A program is developed in MATLAB software for numerical model updating based on all genetic algorithm procedures. Thus, the size and extent of simulated damages are determined by updated numerical model. Results obtained from examples show that GA optimization is a convenient method for damage identification.

    Effect of Chemical Composition and Grain Size on RT Superplasticity of Zn-Al alloys processed by ECAP

    Demirtas, M.; Purcek, G.; Yanar, H.; Zhang, Z. J.; Zhang, Z. F.

    Dilute Zn-0.3Al, eutectic Zn-5Al and eutectoid Zn-22Al alloys were processed by multi-pass equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) in order to achieve fine grained (FG) or ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructure and room temperature (RT) superplasticity. ECAP refined the microstructure of Zn-0.3Al and resulted in a FG Zn-rich.-matrix with an average grain size of 2 mu m and homogeneously distributed nano-sized Al-rich a-particles with the grain sizes in the range of 50-200 nm. A bi-modal microstructure was achieved in Zn-5Al alloy with UFG Al-rich a-and FG Zn-rich.-phases having mean grain sizes of 110 nm and 540 nm, respectively. ECAP brought about an agglomerate-free UFG microstructure in Zn-22Al alloy with an average grain size of 200 nm which is the lowest one obtained so far for this alloy after ECAP processing. The maximum RT superplastic elongations of 1000%, 520% and 400% were achieved for Zn-0.3Al, Zn-5Al and Zn-22Al alloys, respectively. Considering the RT superplasticity in Zn-Al alloys, it was found that lower Al content results in higher superplastic elongations even if the alloy has relatively larger grain size. Grain boundary sliding (GBS) was found to be the main deformation mechanism in region-II as the optimum superplastic region during RT deformation for all three Zn-Al alloys with the strain rate sensitivity factor ranging between 0.25-0.31.
