Enhancement of the electrical properties of graphene for electronic devices

Ersu, Gülsüm

Graphene, a one-atom-thick two-dimensional material, has drawn great interest for many electronic and optoelectronic applications due to its extraordinary properties. The properties of the graphene can be modified with different chemical methods and introduced new properties, which widens its potential for applications. The non-covalent modification of graphene is one of the basic techniques for modifying the electrical properties of graphene without disrupting the structure. In this thesis, the high-quality graphene has been synthesized and electrical properties of graphene have been tuned b ...Daha fazlası

Modeling and experimental study of turbulent newtonian fluid in fully eccentric annulus considering temperature and pipe rotation effects

In this work, the effect of temperature on the pressure loss of Newtonian fluid in a fully eccentric annulus with pipe rotation is investigated. For this purpose, initially comprehensive experimental study has been conducted at Izmir Katip Celebi University (IKCU), Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratory of Civil Engineering Department. Effect of temperature has been observed for flow velocities from 0.7 m/s to 3.4 m/s, for pipe rotations from 0 rpm to 120 rpm, and for temperatures is from 20 °C to 65 °C. The pressure loss within the test section is recorded. An increase in the liquid temper ...Daha fazlası

Controlling the Motion of Capillary Driven Interfaces in Channels with Chemical Heterogeneity

Mehmet Alptuğ Boylu

The use of self-driven fluids (e.g., droplets, capillary flows) attracts many researchers as the external driving mechanisms are diminished or eliminated. The contact angle hysteresis generates a driving force (a pressure difference across interfaces). This pressure depends on the interaction with the solid substrates and is controlled if one varies the surface energy of the walls. Self-transport and manipulation of interfaces play an important role in the development of microfluidic devices, self-cleaning, water harvesting and heat transfer enhancement. In this study, we search for the effect ...Daha fazlası
