A comparative investigation of the effect of honeycomb core on the latent heat storage with PCM in solar air heater
Abuşka, Mesut; Şevik, Seyfi; Kayapunar, Arif (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)The aims of this study were to comparatively investigate the effect of using PCM and honeycomb as the internal fin structure in the PCM panel on the thermal performance of solar air heater. The tests performed at six air ... -
The effect of blowing direction on heat sink performance by thermal imaging
Abuşka, Mesut; Şevik, Seyfi; Altıntaş, Volkan (Yildiz Technical University, 2018)Heat sinks (HSs) are designed for the mechanical, electrical and electronic components that generate heat in considerable amount. For this purpose, an aluminum conical pin fin heat sink is designed. Aluminum conical pin-fins ... -
Energy, exergy, economic and environmental (4E) analyses of flat-plate and V-groove solar air collectors based on aluminium and copper
Abuşka, Mesut; Şevik, Seyfi (Elsevier Ltd, 2017)An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the effect of energy, economic, and environment of SACs which are smooth and roughened by v-groove protrusions arranged made of copper and aluminium materials. ... -
Experimental analysis of solar air collector with PCM-honeycomb combination under the natural convection
Abuşka, Mesut; Şevik, Seyfi; Kayapunar, Arif (Elsevier B.V., 2019)Phase change material (PCM) is at the head of materials commonly used in latent heat storage. However, usually the main problem is that the heat conductivity of PCMs is low. Therefore, a novel solar air collector (SAC) ... -
Experimental performance analysis of sensible heat storage in solar air collector with cherry pits/powder under the natural convection
Abuşka, Mesut; Şevik, Seyfi; Kayapunar, Arif (Elsevier Ltd, 2020)It is important to enhance the availability of SACs either in cloudy weather or after sunset for space heating and agricultural drying process. In this context, this study aims to determine experimentally thermal performance ... -
Thermal performance of flexible air duct using a new absorber construction in a solar air collector
Şevik, Seyfi; Abuşka, Mesut (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)This paper presents the comparative experimental energy and exergy analysis of a solar air collector (SAC) with flexible aluminum foil duct and conventional flat plate SAC, with and without glazing. Effect on performance ...
