Fouling is the accumulation of undesired particles on heat transfer surfaces which affects the heat transfer performance of a heat exchanger negatively. The accumulation of these particles prevents heat from being transformed through the heat exchangers by generating a fouling layer-like insulation. The main aim of the thesis is to investigate the machine learning algorithms to classify and predict the fouling status of PHE used in combi-boilers, to generate the background of the predictive maintenance, besides investigating the fouling effect on PHEs in terms of heat transfer and energy consu ...Daha fazlası
Plasma is an ionized gas generated under an electric field that contains photons, free electrons, ions, free radicals, and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS). Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is generated in the cold form under a high electric field at atmospheric pressure. CAP is generated using two methods, Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) and plasma jet. In the DBD method, the electrode configuration, shape, material, and substance from which the dielectric barrier is made are important. Beyond the electrode design and geometry, the barrier and electrode materials can also impact the re ...Daha fazlası
The way a droplet behaves when it lands on a surface depends on the characteristics of the surface and the flow conditions of the droplet. It can deposit, rebound, splash, etc. There is delimited research on how surface roughness and chemical composition affect the deformation of droplets upon impact, in comparison to the studies done on smooth surfaces. Our model uses two-phase flow to simulate the axisymmetric motion of droplets over surfaces with heterogeneities by combining the Navier-Stokes equations for motion with the Cahn-Hilliard equation for tracking the phase-field. We integrate the ...Daha fazlası
With the rapid development of technology, cellular networks can no longer meet the
demands of wireless networks. Communication systems need to be updated to ensure
that every user equipment (UE) receives accurate and efficient service. Cell-free (CF)
networks offer advantages over cellular networks, such as more flexible resource
allocation, higher capacity, better coverage and lower interference. The deployment of
multiple access points (APs) and flexible allocation of resources leads to higher
network performance and efficiency. In addition, in CF networks, users can
communicate with ...Daha fazlası
The progress of electronic information technology brings along some problems caused by electromagnetic (EM) waves. For this reason, electromagnetic absorber materials have drawn attention recently for application areas such as electronic, defense stealth technology, and satellite communication systems.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from diabetes and diseases caused by diabetes. As a result of the statistical studies carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people suffering from diabetes was 108 million in 1980, then it was increased to 422 million in 2014. Diabetes is increasing rapidly, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries and it was predicted that 1.5 million people died because of it only in 2019 (WHO, 2021).
Hand gesture-based systems are one of the most effective technological advances. Surface electromyography (sEMG) is utilized as a popular input data for gesture classification with elevated accuracy and advanced control capability. In this thesis, which is based on the classification performance of Hilbert-Huang spectrum (HHS) images obtained from Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) of the sEMG of the gestures, an evaluation of the results of artificial intelligence (AI) methods on hand gesture classification using HHS image is presented.
A colorimetric analysis is a technique that measures the properties of the substance using color changes in chemical or biochemical analysis. It is vital in analysing biological, medical, and environmental samples in many fields, such as the food, medicine, cosmetics, and paint industries. Colorimetric analysis requires correct measurement and calibration techniques to obtain accurate results.
Polymers contain moisture due to their chemical structure. Moisture in polymers is important for the quality of the final product and ease of processing. For this reason, polymers are subjected to drying before processes such as injection and extrusion. Drying is carried out at temperatures and times specified by the polymer suppliers. Over-drying leads to increased viscosity (processing difficulty) while under-drying leads to flow marks, burrs, and reduced tensile strength and impact strength. Over-drying also causes excessive energy consumption. In this study, the drying process optimization ...Daha fazlası

At the core of our growing societies, energy supply stands as one of the major concerns today, and it will be an inevitable challenge for our near future. As the nations are looking to find solutions for the transition from fossil fuels – depleting at a high rate – to alternative energy sources, solar energy through PV cells is getting attention as an affordable and easily implemented option especially for power supply in commercial and residential buildings.
Alzheimer's disease continues to be a serious public health issue. Alzheimer's disease affects generally old people, and it is a neurological disorder. The most significant sign of Alzheimer's disease is memory loss, which becomes worse over time. Therefore, early identification of Alzheimer's illness can aid in diseased getting the proper care. One of the aims of this thesis is to automate the early detection of Alzheimer's disease and create a self-improving system by utilising previous experiences each time it is detected automatically. In this way, the bad effects of the disease due to the ...Daha fazlası
