  Joule heating of carbon fiber in hybrid composites with glass fibers: Investigation of electro-thermal and vibration characteristics

  Uslu, Emin; Yilmaz, Galip; Uyar, Mehmet

  This study explores the innovative dual-purpose use of carbon fiber, functioning both as a structural and a heating element, expanding its potential in hybrid composites. A prototype composite was fabricated using the vacuum infusion process, featuring a single carbon fiber layer at the core for dual-purpose and two outer layers of glass fiber. Electrical heating tests revealed a stable relationship between voltage, resistance, power, and temperature, demonstrating efficient heat generation as the voltage increased. Thermal imaging confirmed uniform heat distribution with minor variations. Free vibration tests evaluated the composite's dynamic behavior under various electro-thermal conditions. Results showed that increasing temperature reduced the natural frequencies, particularly in the second vibration mode. Changes in Rayleigh damping coefficients at higher temperatures highlighted the composite's sensitivity to thermal inputs. These findings underline the potential of hybrid composites for advanced applications like turbine blades and aerospace components, where multifunctionality, self-heating, and vibration control are critical.

  The impact of osmotic dehydration and microwave drying process conditions on the quality characteristics of celery roots (Apium graveolens l. Subsp. rapaceum)

  Kutlu, Naciye

  In this study, celery roots were dried by the osmotic dehydration-assisted microwave drying method, and both osmotic dehydration (OD) and microwave conditions were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Utilizing a Box–Behnken experimental design, the drying time was minimized while maximizing the total phenolic compounds (TPC) in dried samples at different OD salt concentrations (10, 20 and 30 %), OD temperatures (30, 45 and 60 °C), OD durations (1, 2 and 3 h) and microwave powers (210, 350 and 490 W). The optimal drying conditions were identified as 15.05 % for OD salt concentration, 42.5 °C for OD temperature, 1.6 h for OD duration and 489.7 W for microwave power. Under these optimal conditions, the predicted values for time and TPC were 10 min and 104.38 mg GAE/100 g, respectively. The composite desirability value was 0.99 as a result of optimization. The experimental values for time and TPC were measured as 11 min and 97.45 mg GAE/100 g, respectively. The predicted and experimental values were found to be statistically similar to each other. A comparison with control groups designed to assess the effects of OD and microwave processes revealed that these processes significantly influenced both quality (TPC, antioxidant activity, color) and drying characteristics (drying time, rehydration rate). The greenness assessment value was calculated as 78 using the MoGAPI tool. Consequently, the application of OD pretreatment and use of the innovative microwave drying method as a final drying step in vegetable drying was successfully implemented to enhance the properties of the final product.

  Enhanced thermal and angular velocity-induced hybrid piezoelectric energy harvesting of smart turbine blades

  Uyar, Mehmet

  In this study, an approach is proposed to examine hybrid piezoelectric energy harvesting performances from vibrations induced by thermal and angular velocity loads in order to generate energy from the smart turbine blade. In the proposed method, a smart turbine blade is formed by patching the piezoelectric material to the root surface of the turbine blade. A finite element (FE) model of the smart turbine blade is established and then it is validated with a smart blade model in a reference study to test the reliability and accuracy of the FE method. The defined loads are applied to the smart blade to obtain energy from mechanical vibrations induced by thermal and angular velocity loads. Temperature distribution, voltage, and vibration results obtained from energy harvesting analysis under different thermal and angular velocity loads are presented. In order to investigate the energy conversion efficiency of the energy obtained from the system, the energy harvesting circuit is tested in terms of battery discharge times and power output values. The results show that while the maximum energy conversion in the thermally induced smart turbine blade is 11.9 W, a power output of 12.3 W is obtained from the hybrid energy harvesting mechanism under angular velocity and heat flux loads.
