An investigation into hydrophobic micro-textured surfaces on heat transfer and surface wetting phenomenon during vapor condensation
(2018-12-28)
Efficiency and performance of a system that involves condensation process have been one of the primary considerations over the last decades for a number of applications including thermal management systems such as vapor ...
Digital oil refinery: utilizing real-time analytics and cloud computing over industrial sensor data
(2018-12-14)
This thesis addresses big data challenges seen in large-scale, mission-critical industrial plants such as oil refineries. These plants are equipped with heavy machinery (boilers, engines, turbines, etc.) that are continuously ...
Effect of pH on particle agglomeration and radiative transfer in nanoparticle suspensions
(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 ...
Investigation of flame characteristics in a turbulent premixed combustion
(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 ...
Thermal and radiative energy/exergy analyses of parabolic trough collector systems
(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 ...
Runtime verification of internet of things using complex-event processing (RECEP)
(2018-06)
Increase in the computing power and memory accompanied with decreasing architectural footprints has enabled conquering new frontiers in proliferation of technology in the next industry revolution. More autonomous systems ...
Radiative cooling by spectrally selective materials for building
(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 ...
Turbulence and flame interaction for control of flame location in diffuser combustor
(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 ...
A semantic policy framework for internet of things
(2018-10-31)
With the proliferation of technology, connected and interconnected devices (henceforth referred to as IoT) are fast becoming a viable option to automate the day-to-day interactions of users with their environments. However, ...
Tools and tecniques for implementation of real-time video processing algorithms
(2018-09)
Hardware implementation of video processing algorithms, which are usually real-time by nature, need architectural exploration so that we achieve the required performance with minimal cost. In addition, the video algorithm ...
