Augmenting occupant thermal experience with cyber-physical-social systems : a case study on adaptive vents
Keskin, Cem (2020-06-11)Buildings use more than 30% of global energy, while 36% of this energy comes from direct combustion of fossil fuels. Hence, buildings constitute a considerable share of CO2 emissions and has a large contribution to climate ... -
Determining thermal comfort in built environment using computational fluid dynamics simulations
Fidan, Güven (2017-06)In this thesis, three-dimensional time-dependent Thermal Comfort (TC) conditions in an occupied room is investigated and determined. The room is considered with furniture of varying materials (i.e. steel, wood, etc.) and ... -
Development of an accelerated Monte Carlo ray tracing based radiation heat transfer solver
Siddiqui, Faizan Pervez (2017-07)The Monte Carlo ray tracing (MCRT) is a semi-analytical stochastic method for the solution of radiative transfer equation (RTE). However, its high computation cost prevents its extensive use. In this study, an accelerated ... -
Effect of garments on thermophysiological comfort
Tatar, Ebru (2019-11-24)This study investigates the effect of garment on human thermophysiological comfort. In this thesis simplified but effective model of heat transfer from human skin to the environment through clothing is proposed. A comprehensive ... -
Effect of pH on particle agglomeration and radiative transfer in nanoparticle suspensions
Al-Gebory, Layth Wadhah Ismael (2018-08)Nanoparticle suspensions (NPSs) are solid-fluid mixtures where small dielectric or metallic particles (with sizes <100 nm) used in a base fluid. NPSs have unique and tunable thermo-optical properties, and for that reason ... -
Effect of solar radiation in office spaces
Yelekci, Ali Can (2021-06-10)This thesis examines the design components of an office that influences the thermal comfort of the occupants due to solar radiation, such as external solar shades, various window glasses, partitions between desks and floor ... -
Energy and exergy efficiency analyses of high-performance buildings
Al-Doury, Raaid Rashad Jassem (2018-11-26)Reducing building energy density has become one of the global requirements to a decrease fuel consumption and emission production, and consequently making our world sustainable. The high value of energy consumed by buildings ... -
Evaluation of bioimplants surface nano-micro design by chemical mechanical polishing against alternative methods
Al Saeedi, Riaid Hadi Salih (2019-01-11)Biomaterials comprise a representative fraction of the products used in the health area. Biomedical devices (such as biosensors, blood circulation tubes, hemodialysis systems) can be cited as examples. Biomaterials can be ... -
Human body heat exchange mechanism and thermal comfort via visual impact
Tunçel, Elif Gizem (2019-12)Thermal comfort is a combination of several components and can be described in many ways while for all definitions the precedence is human. In this thesis, thermal comfort is examined through the environmental differences ... -
Integrated design and application of a campus-wide distributed-photovoltaic system
Sefer, Burak (2018-05)After releasing the regulations on unlicensed electricity generation in Turkey, the main structure of the regulatory mechanism has just finished in 2014 and renewable energy generation started to grow dramatically. Ozyegin ... -
Investigation of flame characteristics in a turbulent premixed combustion
Alhumairi, Mohammed Khudhair Abbas (2018-10)In this thesis, the turbulent flame closure (TFC) model and coherent flame model (CFM) of turbulent premixed flames as steady state flow are used. In addition, large eddy simulation (LES) model as unsteady state flow is ... -
Investigation of thermal comfort performance of radiant heating systems: comparisons of different heating surface configurations
Acet, Ruşen Can (2018-02)This thesis is an experimental-numerical study for the thermal comfort assessment of radiant heating system for different heating configuration such as from a wall, ceiling and combination of both that is installed in a ... -
Modelling surface plasmon resonances of arrays of nano particles on a dielectric substrate using discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction (DDA-SI)
Fathi, Zahra Rastampour (2017-06)Analysis of surface plasmon resonance of arbitrary shape nano-particles on a substrate is important for many engineering applications. The strong optical absorption of noble metal nano-particles is due to the localized ... -
Near- and far-field thermal radiation in metamaterials and the development of NF-RT-FDTD algorithm
Didari, Azadeh (2016-06)In this dissertation, analysis of near-field regime of thermal radiative transfer in metamaterials supporting surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) is given. Solutions of electromagnetic fields at subwavelength distances are ... -
Numerical investigation of the radiant heating performance of a continuous annealing furnace
Annealing as a type of heat treatment process is widely used in the glass manufacturing industry. It is the last stage of the manufacturing process and has a highly dominant effect on the quality of the glass. Especially ... -
An occupant-oriented circular model for facility management strategy
Memiş, Doğa Gizem (2018-08)Facility management (FM) concept should be re-considered for the next generation of strategic operations of buildings and should be human-focused. Traditional FM strategies are based on designs by the stakeholders and ... -
Radiative cooling by spectrally selective materials for building
Family, Roxana (2018-01-03)Buildings utilize more than one-third of the total energy consumed in counties within the Mediterranean climate zones like in Turkey. Particularly during the summer months, the absorption of solar energy by the buildings ... -
Thermal and radiative energy/exergy analyses of parabolic trough collector systems
Mohammed, Hayder Noori (2018-08)The concept of exergy is used to determine the maximum energy that can be extracted from a system. It is based on both the first and the second laws of thermodynamics and allows us to determine the irreversibilities ... -
Turbulence and flame interaction for control of flame location in diffuser combustor
Nazzal, Ibrahim Thamer Nazzal (2018-08)Achieving an appropriate flame location is desirable in many combustion system applications especial in the design of the combustion system. Given that the characteristics of turbulent flows influence flame behavior and ...
