    Thin-Layer Drying Modeling in the Hot Oil-Heated Stenter
    (International Journal of Thermophysics, 2020) Ünal, Fatih; Akan, Ahmet Erhan
    Although the drying processes have an important place in the textile industry in terms of drying or various textile finishing applications, they are considered as an expensive process in terms of energy and time consumed. Therefore, it is of great importance to simulate with mathematical models the drying behavior of a stenter (ram machine), one of the most preferred convection dryers in the textile industry. For this purpose, in this study, modeling was attempted of the drying behavior of 67 % Cotton + 33 % Polyester containing Thessaloniki knit fabrics, using experimental data obtained from drying processes performed in 9 different drying operations in a 10-chamber hot oil-heated stenter and 12 different empirical and semi-empirical thin-layer models that are frequently used in the literature. R2 values from regression analysis were evaluated as the primary factor in the model fit selection. According to the results obtained, it was understood that the Diffusion Approach model with R2 values ranging from 0.9991 to 0.9999, Two Term Model with R2 values ranging from 0.9995 to 0.9999, and the Modified Henderson and Pabis model with R2 values ranging from 0.9995 to 0.9999 gave the most appropriate results upon simulating drying behavior. In this regard, this study, which contains explanatory information on the drying behavior in a stenter, is thought to be useful to researchers.

    Investigation of Efficiency of R717 Refrigerant Single Stage Cooling System and R717/R744 Refrigerant Cascade Cooling System
    (Murat Yakar, 2021) Akan, A.E.; Ünal, F.; Özkan, D.B.
    This study is an adaptation of ammonia cascade cooling systems using carbon dioxide on ice cream production machines and includes thermodynamic analysis of R717/R744 cascade refrigeration system with R717 refrigerant single-stage refrigeration system and investigation of its efficiency. As a result of the analyses, the COP value of the single-stage system was 3.67, the Carnot efficiency was 0.57, the second law efficiency was 0.19 and the power required to operate the compressor was 27.55 kW. In the cascade cooling system, the COP value was 4.46, the Carnot efficiency 0.59 and the compressor power 22.7 kW in the high-temperature part, while the COP value was measured as 14.65, the Carnot efficiency 0.58 and the compressor power 6.4 kW in the low-temperature part. For the whole cascade system, the COP 3.24 and the second law efficiency were found to be 0.43. When the results were compared, it was concluded that although the COP value of the cascade cooling system was 0.43 points lower than the single-stage ammonia system, when our country's climate conditions and the thermophysical properties carbon dioxide gas were considered together, one of the most suitable designs was the cascade cooling system. © Author(s) 2021.

    Investigation of Energy Saving Potential in Buildings Using Novel Developed Lightweight Concrete
    (Springer/plenum Publishers, 2020) Akan, Ahmet Erhan; Unal, Fatih; Kocyigit, Fatih
    In this study, three different composite materials were produced from mixtures of natural and waste materials in different proportions. The produced composites were used to determine the insulation thickness of exterior walls of buildings located in 12 provinces selected from the four different climate zones of Turkey. The selection of provinces was made according to Turkish standard TS 825. The produced materials are thermal insulation elements that can be used instead of construction elements, such as brick, on the exterior walls of the buildings. In this study, only the heating of the buildings was considered and the number of heating degree days of the provinces was taken into account to determine the insulation thickness. The life cycle cost analysis method was used to determine the optimum insulation thickness. It was determined that the optimum insulation thickness values calculated for four different fuel types for the selected provinces varied between 0.170 m and 1.401 m. The annual energy requirement for the unit surface area of the exterior walls of the insulated buildings was determined to be 11,213-965,715 kJ center dot m(-2) per year. Moreover, it was determined that the insulation costs ranged between $ 22,841 m(-2) and $ 114,841 m(-2), and the payback period ranged from approximately 2.5 to 6.5 years. It was concluded that using these new types of materials in the determined regions were advantageous in terms of thermal insulation, fire resistance, mechanical properties, production costs, extra labor costs, and optimum insulation thickness.

    An Application To Error and Uncertainty Analysis in Industrial Type Dryer Experiments
    (Murat Yakar, 2021) Akan, A.E.; Ünal, F.
    In this study, information is given about the driers commonly used in the industry and the experimental errors and uncertainties that will be encountered in the experiments using these driers are tried to be explained by using the data obtained from the experiments carried out in an 8 chambers hot oil heated stenter, which is a conveyor type convection dryer. The fabric used in the experiments is the Thessaloniki type fabric, containing 67% cotton and 37% polyester. The experiments were carried out at a drying air temperature of 160 ºC and a fabric advance rate of 23 m/h (0.383 m/s). Thus, the example of error analysis in such experimental studies is provided and criteria that may cause an error for drying systems are discussed. As a result of the uncertainty analysis, the largest uncertainty in the system occurred in temperature measurements at ±0.367-±0.568 ºC values and the error rate for the whole system was found to be 4.08%. In terms of conducting the experiments in real production conditions and the materials and methods used in the experiments, this study is thought to will be help researchers that working on drying systems in their experimental studies. © Author(s) 2021.
