Article Experimental analysis and modeling of the thermal conductivities for a novel building material providing environmental transformation(Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization and Environmental Effects, 2021) Ünal, Fatih; Koçyiğit, Fatih; Koçyiğit, ŞerminIn this study, a mathematical equation was developed to determine the thermal conductivity of the materials by producing porous heterogeneous materials with expanded vermiculite aggregates, waste basalt powder, and the mixture of molten tragacanth added building materials. Experimental thermal conductivity of the samples was determined by using the hot wire method. Experimental thermal conductivity of the samples produced varied between 0.196 W/mK and 0.522 W/mK depending on the expanded vermiculite ratio, the ratio of waste basalt powder, and the ratios of tragacanth and cement. In addition, the developed mathematical thermal conductivity ranges from 0.201 W/mK to 0.455 W/mK. The experimental values deviated from the values in the developed model in the range of 3–19%. This equation was developed based on the porosity ratio of the produced samples, the density and thermal conductivity of the materials in the samples. The thermal conductivity results obtained by the experimental and theoretically developed equation were compared with each other and it was observed that the results were compatible.Article Fuels properties, characterizations and engine and emission performance analyses of ternary waste cooking oil biodiesel-diesel-propanol blends(SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES AND ASSESSMENTS, 2019) Bencheikh, Kamel; Atabani, A. E; Shobana, Sutha; Mohammed, M. N.; Uguz, Gediz; Arpa, Orhan; Kumar, Gopalakrishnan; Ayanoglu, Abdulkadir; Bokhari, AwaisApplication of biodiesel synthesized from waste-based raw materials with numerous solvents (higher chain alcohols) in diesel engines is a topic of great interest. This article examines the effect of biodiesel-diesel-propanol ternary blends. Physio-chemical properties, fatty acids composition (FAC), FT-IR, TGA, DSC, NMR along with some selected engine and emissions performance parameters were examined. Biodiesel was produced from waste cooking oil and exhibits excellent FAC that yields kinematic viscosity, cetane number, oxidation stability, higher heating value and iodine value of 3.93mm(2)/s, 58.88, 7.43 h, 39.45 MJ/kg and 64.92 g/100 g. Propanol blended biodiesel depicted an affirmative improvement in cold flow properties and decremented density. FT-IR and NMR results confirms the existence of biodiesel-diesel-propanol and prove their qualities as reliable methods. DSC and TGA results confirm that propanol reduces the onset and crystallization temperatures of the blends. Engine and emissions performance revealed that propanol addition further increased brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and reduced carbon monoxide (CO), exhaust gas temperature (EGT), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and smoke. This study proves the feasibility of the ternary blends with rewarding benefits in cold flow properties and densities besides acceptable engine and emissions performance results.
