ABSTRACTIn this thesis, the flow rate of air coolers used in low pressure casting method is examined. Low pressure die casting (LPDC) method is used for many types of products. Light alloy wheels, motor housings and pistons are examples of these products. Air-cooling is used to provide directional solidification to avoid casting defects on the casting part. In this study, the flow rate of air-cooling is calculated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. After the numerical calculations were confirmed by experimental methods, the affect of the variables on the cooling system flow r ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTRecent research shows that the vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) can provide up to 6 - 9 times more power generation in the same footprint area when they are sited in proper configurations in contrast to horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). In order to site wind turbines in a field, it is necessary to do a wind resource assessment (WRA). This assessment provide important inputs for the placement, sizing and design detailing of the wind farm. In addition to the correct determination of the site, it is also critical to place the wind turbines in the most efficient way. When the necess ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTElectronic industry is growing dramatically in the last quarter of the century. Recent advances in electronics industry enable the miniaturization of micro transistors and the integration of more transistors into the electronic devices, resulting in a higher performance device. However, this condition increases the heat flow in the electronic devices. The performance of electronic devices depend on the working temperature, for this reason, it is important to remove the heat produced in the device as fast and efficiently as possible in order to hold the system temperature of the electro ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTIn recent years, the utilization of nanotechnology rapidly developed for the wide range of sciences. Nanomaterials shows unique properties and ZnO nanostructures are the most suitable structures for biosensor applications due to their high surface area and high electrochemical activity. In this project first, we have coated zinc film on to Glass/ITO surface by electrochemical deposition method. Then we have transformed the obtained zinc film to nanostructured ZnO by electrochemical anodization method. At the end, we have tried to modify the ZnO nanostructured surface with chitosan for ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTPreterm newborns are unlikely to live without any additional support. Babies born in this way need special care and a place that would imitate their mother’s womb as much as possible. The environmental conditions like the temperature, humidity, noise, light intensity, etc. need to be carefully managed. In addition to managing the environment, it is necessary to record vital data such as baby's temperature and pulse and record any changes so that they can be examined later. Since the systems that carry out these mentioned controls are very expensive, there are still hospitals that do no ...Daha fazlası
SUMMARYPlastics have a wide application area in our daily life because of the properties such as being inexpensive, lightweight and easy to take shape. Plastics can lead to some problems such as endangering human health and reducing the life of the material, because the plastic surfaces are so available for microorganisms to form a biofim by holding onto the surface easily. Researches for antibacterial materials containing various natural and inorganic substances has been increased and become more important because of that people are often infected by microorganisms such as bacteria, molds, ye ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTEnvironment and health is two important things that are so important to human lifebecause they cannot be separated from each other. The problems related with thesetwo events will negatively affect human life. Therefore, health and environmentalproblems should be monitored with proper testing devices and analyzed. In order toperform these tests, we need cheap, reliable and fast test equipment. With therevolution of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology that is cheap, practical, fastmethod of production, this kind of test devices can be produced. This productionmethod is used to pro ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTCancer studies continue to gain interest in the recent period. Many types of cancer,especially breast cancer, continue to cause deaths worldwide and the number of people suffering from this disease is increasing. The methods that are used most at the basis of cancer studies are starting with 2-Dimensional (2D) cell culture. However, 2D cell culture can no longer adequately reflect in vivo conditions. Scientists have turned their efforts towards these 3-Dimensional (3D) cell cultures. There are many different ways of obtaining 3D cell culture. The preferred 3DPetriDish ™ technique in th ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTIn this thesis, a new design of the modular robot manipulator and its control with Robot Operating System is presented. The modules are designed to have an adjustable twist angle, which enables to create different robot manipulator configurations. Kinematic synthesis on the gripper module is conducted and structural parameters of the gripper is determined. Axis sets on the modules are determined by Denavit-Hartenberg method. Inverse and forward kinematic analysis and singularity analysis are performed. Numerical inverse kinematic solver is proposed for modular robot manipulators with m ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTNanofluids are produced by the addition of nano-sized particles to the base fluid in order to increase the thermal conductivity of heat transfer fluids. Preparation of stable nanofluids with high thermal conductivity is a very complex process and their usage in heat transfer applications are related to many important parameters from the stability of nanofluids to their viscosity. Optimization of these parameters is essential for the practical use of nanofluids. The objectives of this study are to successfully preparecarbon-based nanofluids while investigating the stability mechanisms a ...Daha fazlası
ABSTRACTThanks to the technological advances that have been continuously improved throughout the last century, applications of robotics have increased in every aspect of our lives. Within all of these various applications, mobile robotics can be given as one of the most common and popular subfield. Utilization of mobile robots emerges in many environments such as, medical applications, military operations, simple household routines, and even space exploration. On the other hand, due to the requirements of different robot designs for individual applications, need for mobile robot designs, which ...Daha fazlası
