Wu, Xueyuan; Shao, Shuangquan; Akkurt, Nevzat
The rapid development of data center leads to a rapid increase in energy consumption. In this paper, the plate and tube evaporative condenser is proposed for the water-cooled chiller and the data center cooling system to improve the energy efficiency in hot and dry summer and avoid icing in cold winter. The chiller can operate in the wet mode for compressor refrigeration and the dry mode for free cooling with the coefficient of performance (COP) of 5.2 in wet mode and up to 33.3 in dry mode. Furthermore, the system is applied in a data center in Ulumiqi, which is located in the dry and cold region and its ambient air temperature can vary from −32 °C to 45 °C throughout the year. The actual operation results show that the power usage effectiveness (PUE) value of the whole data centre is 1.349 in June, 1.229 in December, and 1.320 as the annual average, which is stable and efficient for five consecutive years. These results ensure the proposed system is an important technical solution for energy saving and emission reduction in data centres in cold regions.

The mining and processing of traditional skeleton materials inevitably generates carbon emissions and pollutes the surrounding environment. To make full use of industrial solid waste, this work innovatively used carbide slag as skeleton material and Na2CO3 as phase change material (PCM) to fabricate shape-stable phase change composites (SSPCCs) via the cold-compression & hot-sintering method. Seven SSPCCs were fabricated with different mass ratios of carbide slag to Na2CO3. Then, the thermal energy storage (TES) performance, mechanical property, micromorphology, chemical compatibility as well as thermal cycling stability were investigated. The results showed that the carbide slag could combine with Na2CO3 to fabricate SSPCCs; Sample CN5 achieved the optimal performance with the mass ratio 52.5:47.5 of carbide slag to Na2CO3; Sample CN5 achieved a TES density of 993 J/g in the range of 100 to 900 °C, a compressive strength of 22.02 MPa and a maximal thermal conductivity of 0.62 W/(m·K); Both carbide slag and Na2CO3 were distributed uniformly in sample CN5, while good thermal stability after the 100 heating/cooling cycles and good chemical compatibility between the carbide slag components and the Na2CO3 were observed.

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in the electronics industry to store electrical energy. One of the challenges with these batteries is that they heat up during operation, which can damage the battery. For this reason, this paper simulates the cooling process of a plate-type (BTP) lithium-ion battery pack. To control the temperature of the battery (T-B), a laminar air flow and a phase change material (PCM) are used. The PCM is placed in a heat sink around the battery. This evaluation is performed temporarily for four different dimensions of the PCM pack. The hot outlet of this system is used to provide the thermal energy required for a small residential building (THE) at a mild temperature. The BTP was also simulated using COMSOL. The results show that the use of larger heat sinks can increase the maximum (MAX) and average (AVE) temperature of the battery. The minimum T-B occurs at different times for the smaller PCM heat sinks. Also, when using a heatsink with a larger PCM volume, it takes longer for the PCM to fully solidify. A BTP with 5 or 50 battery cells can provide up to 3% or 30% of the THE required for the building.

In the field of emission reduction, considering the limitations of single clean combustion technology and joint control of carbon emission, the application of Technology of Mixed-Gas (TMG), Technology of Low-calorific Value Gas (TLVG) and Technology of Low Oxygen Combustion (TLOC) in the Novel-type Coke Oven Flue with MILD Combustion (MILD-NCOF) was realized. By adjusting the ratio of coke oven gas to blast furnace gas (α), the ratio of flue gas to gas (β) and the ratio of flue gas to air (γ), the heat and mass transfer mechanism of combustion process in MILD-NCOF was researched, the dual emission control system and the regulation strategy of pollutant and carbon emissions were established. The results showed that with the increase of α, β and γ, the fluidity of gas and the reaction rate of combustible components in the fire path were improved, the heat and mass transfer was enhanced, and the effect of dual emission reduction of pollutants and carbon emissions was improved. When the mixing ratio α was 0.6, Tave was reached at 1594.93 K. The NOx concentration at the outlet was 116.34 mg/m3, and the sum of the molar concentrations of CO and CO2 at the outlet was reduced to 1.440 × 10−1. When the mixing ratio β was 2.4, Tave was reached at 1518.73 K, the NOx concentration at the outlet was 128.42 mg/m3, and the sum of the molar concentrations of CO and CO2 at the outlet was 1.127 × 10−1. When the mixing ratio γ was 0.6, Tave was reached at 1627.28 K, the NOx concentration at the outlet was 142.73 mg/m3, and the sum of the molar concentrations of CO and CO2 was reduced to 1.128 × 10−1, which could meet the dual standards of clean production and low-carbon environmental protection of MILD-NCOF.

Akkurt, Nevzat
The numerical and transient behavior of a battery pack (BA-PK) consisting of three battery cells positioned within an air duct is investigated in this work. The BA-PK was connected to a solar system. The inside of the BA-PK is filled with phase change material. The air within the duct moved at a speed of 0.001–0.003 m/s around the BA-PK. The investigation was carried out by altering the dimensions of the BA-PK using COMSOL software. The finite element approach is used to solve the equations. The results of this research indicated that the battery temperature (Tbatt) drops gradually until the surrounding area is filled with molten PCM, but that once the PCM around the battery is entirely frozen, the Tbatt drops abruptly. The use of a larger BA-PK increases the temperature of the exhaust air out of the duct, but reduces the percentage of solid PCM. The Tbatt, as well as the maximum Tbatt and average TPCM within the compartment, are reduced by using a smaller BA-PK. In addition to increasing the quantity of solid PCM, increasing the speed lowers the temperatures of the batteries and PCM, as well as the temperature of the exhaust air.

Fresh water is scarce, making it a worldwide issue. In order to address global freshwater demand, a filtration technique is needed. Solar distillation (SD) that purifies brackish and sub-terranean water has been proven to be a promising green technology. It produces distilled water which can be used as potable water for drinking and other purposes. The designs, operations, and configurations of several inverted solar stills are thoroughly examined in this article. All techniques for solar water distillation to separate saltwater from freshwater have the same fundamental idea. It has been demonstrated that for a specified mass of water in the top basin, the daily output of an inverted absorber double-basin solar still (IASS) grows with increasing water depth in the bottom basin. Nevertheless, as the water depth in the bottom basin rises from 1 cm to 5 cm, the output of an inverted absorber double-basin solar system falls by about 27%. At water depths of 4, 6, and 8 cm, the daily yields from inverted absorber solar stills paired with a refrigeration cycle (RIASS) were 6.4, 10.08, and 9.5 L/day, respectively. The results also showed a substantial rise in water temperature in the inverted absorber solar still as a result of lower bottom heat loss and larger absorptivity. In this study, the emphasis on energy, efficiency, and environmental concerns remains with the modified multi-wick basin-type inverted absorber solar panel. The performance of the inverted trickling solar still was assessed with a 60 ppm average salinity under various sun radiation, feed water flow rate, and existence conditions for natural convection. It was found that the still could produce 2.55 L/day m2 of fresh water, a 15% increase. Brackish water with a salinity of 6000 ppm was used to test the still in November at tilt angles of 47◦ and 32◦ . Condensate production at the specified angles was 2.8 and 2 L/d, respectively. A total output of 6.907, 5.681, and 4.650 kg/m2 /day was also generated using the modified multi-wick basin-type inverted absorber solar still (MMWBIASS) at water depths of 1, 2, and 3 cm, respectively. With black cotton wicks, the MMWBIASS had a total thermal efficiency of 34.04%, 28.17%, and 23.61%.

Fossil fuels are the primary energy sources and meet the global energy demands. However, environmental and health problems related with these sources boosted the demand for renewable energy sources. Hydrogen, as an energy carrier has a growing potential for solving these problems. In this article, a mathematical programming model that integrates the production, storage and transportation, safety, location, and staff assignment decisions is presented considering minimization of costs. Although most of the studies focus on location, distribution, storage decisions of hydrogen energy networks, the article also includes production, safety and staff assignment decisions to make this problem more practical. Furthermore, we also investigate the set covering constraint will ensure that each region is covered by minimum number of the hydrogen facilities. The developed model ensures a balance between location, distribution, storage, production, safety and staff decisions by installing two production facilities by assigning total 9 warehouses, 22 tank trucks, 12100 km pipeline, 35 staffs under distance constraint 2000 km in regions 1 and 5. The computational results indicate that the proposed model produces effective solutions for the coverage to all region and minimum total cost for real-case situations.

An experimental study was carried out to examine the efficiency of solar energy in photovoltaic thermal collectors (PV/T) with energy storage. A photovoltaic thermal collector was used to generate both electrical energy and hot water. The effects of inclination angle of PV/T collectors on power, temperature, energy and exergy values were investigated. Also, effects of cellular shading are tested and discussed. PV/T was compared with the conventional PV/T collector by adding phase change material (PCM) for one of the collectors. In addition, the effect of different shading conditions (small, medium and large circle) on the power and hot water output of the PV/T collector at optimum slope angle were investigated. It is found that 7 ºC temperature differences are occurred in the hot water outlet between the PV/T collector and the PV/T-PCM collector. The highest energy efficiencies of PV/T-PCM collectors are obtained as 73.26%, 84.70% and 68.96% for slope angle 25º, 30º and 35º, respectively. The highest exergy efficiencies of shaded collectors are obtained as 11.92% for PV/T and 23.38% for PV/T-PCM.

In this study, the effects of carbon black (CB) additive obtained from waste tires on the moisture performance of hot mix asphalt pavements were investigated. For this purpose, modified asphalts were prepared by adding 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% CB by weight to pure asphalt with penetration class B 160/220. Physical properties of pure and modified asphalts were determined by penetration, softening point and ductility tests, and workability properties were determined by rotational viscometer (RV) test. Then, the optimum asphalt content of the mixture was determined according to Marshall design method by using aggregate and pure asphalt for mixture design. Based on this determined ratio, pure and modified asphalts and hot mix samples were prepared. Pure and CB added modified mixture samples were subjected to Marshall stability, retained Marshall stability (RMS) and indirect tensile strength (ITS) tests. According to the physical test results, it was observed that the hardness and workability temperatures of the modified binders increased with the CB additive. According to the test results of the mixture, it was observed that CB additive had an improving effect on the moisture performance of road pavements due to the significant increases in Marshall stability, RMS and indirect tensile strength ratio (ITSR) values, especially at the rate of 10% CB.

In order to improve today's conditions and to ensure a healthy life for future generations, different solutions have been sought in different areas around the world and important steps have been taken in this direction. As the building sector is one of the leading sectors in terms of energy consumption, steps towards creating living conditions in comfortable and healthy spaces made by various regulations, directives, etc. started to be taken with studies, while reducing the energy use in buildings. According to the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive-recast published by the European Union in 2010, member states were asked to set and implement their own NZEB (nearly zero energy building) targets. During this period, there has been an increase in the use of existing certification systems whose criteria meet the country's NZEB objectives. In recent years, countries in different climatic zones have started to construct buildings that comply with the Passive House certification system and the EnerPHit certification system, the version used in existing buildings. In the study, specifications have been analyzed in detail and the results achieved over values through 34 different EnerPhit certified buildings in the world, including one in Turkey. With this study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with the examination the analysis of EnerPHit certification system criteria, the application techniques, potential for Turkey.

Tang, Saihong; Akkurt, Nevzat; Zhang, Kai; Chen, Lufang; Ma, Mingquan
Cool roofs with higher solar reflectance and emittance can effectively reduce building energy consumption. However, it is still limited to use at night on account of the development of roof materials during the past decades. The newly proposed metamaterial-based cool roof (MCR) greatly improves the possibility of the radiative cooling in the daytime. To study the influence of MCR on the energy consumption for the office building, a small single-floor office was adopted to analyse the cooling performance of MCR by using EnergyPlus. In this study, the optimization analysis was conducted based on the proposed dimensionless thermal resistance (θRTR) and roof pitch (Δ). Then the annual electricity saving potential of the office building with MCR was evaluated in details based on the selected cities from all five climate zones in China. The results show that more annual electricity saving can be achieved under the optimized values of θR7 = 1.53 and Δ = 20°. Furthermore, more than 15.7% of annual cooling electricity saving can be achieved while the optimized θRTR and Δ are applied.

Drainage of peatlands increases the depth of the oxic peat layer and can turn them into a carbon (C) source to the atmosphere. Afforestation of drained peatlands could help to reverse this process since the trees may enhance C sequestration. We followed the C and water dynamics of an afforested drained peatland in S-Iceland during a 2 year period, during which the Black Cottonwood (Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa) plantation was 23–25 year old. Net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO2) was measured with the eddy covariance method and C pools of trees and ground vegetation were measured using the stock change method. Lateral losses of dissolved and particulated organic C (DOC, POC) were estimated from weekly water-runoff samples. Unexpectedly, the afforested drained peatland was a strong sink of carbon during the two years, with an average NEE value of 714 g C m−2 yr−1. Only 0.5% of the total NEE was lost through lateral DOC and POC transport, leaving 710 g C m−2 yr−1 as the total net ecosystem production (NEP). Ca. 91% of the observed NEP could be explained by the annual biomass increment of the Black Cottonwood trees and 1.3% by the ground vegetation. This means that the remaining 7.5% of the total NEP most likely accumulated in peat soil and litter, contributing to the soil C stocks. The dormant-season CO2 emissions were unexpectedly low, which was explained by a high groundwater level at this drained site outside the ca. 5 months of the active growing season. On average, 66% of the annual measured precipitation was estimated to have evaporated back to the atmosphere. This left 416 mm for potential runoff, which was somewhat lower value than the measured runoff (662 mm). These results indicate that during the age span of ca. 20–25 years, afforestation was a valid method to reverse the expected negative C-balance of this drained grassland pasture in Iceland. Although the site is currently a soil C sink, simulation studies with process models are needed to test whether such sites could remain C sinks when managed for forestry over several tree-stand rotations.

Kahraman, Gökhan
This study aims to present the evaluation of the thermal performance and the amount of condensation on the walls of a building with iron profiles under steady-state conditions. Elazig, situated in the east part of Turkey, was chosen for fieldwork. In this region, minimum average temperature is around 1°C during winter. Calculations are made in a real wall model and three different wall model scenarios. Estimated advantages and disadvantages of these have been investigated. Heat transfer and condensation amount are taken as variables. In four different building component models, the required amount of energy during the heating period is calculated month by month. Calculations reveal the resistance of the wall without application of insulation material with iron profile is higher than of the other three wall types. The wall built with betopen and iron profile saves 37.5% more energy than the wall with bricks. When the iron-profiled wall model is compared with the insulated brick wall, it is observed that energy savings are similar, but calculations show condensation begins on the iron profile wall. Iron profile buildings become popular increasingly in rural areas. As a result of this study, it is observed that iron profile buildings are advantageous in terms of energy saving compared to other building component models. However, condensation is inevitable in wall components of iron profile buildings and so the damage in the buildings is more than just a disadvantage, it is an irreversible result.

The Ereğli-Ulukışla Basin which is the focus of this study is situated at the south-eastern edge of the Central Anatolian Cenozoic basins (Tuzgölü, Haymana, Çankırı-Çorum, and Sivas), and is divided into two sub-basins, the Aktoprak (AT) and Hacıbekirli-Tepeköy (HT). These sub-basins mainly comprise a stratigraphically discontinuous and laterally variable series, represented by ‘fluvio-lacustrine’ siliciclastic and carbonate sediments deposited over a wide range of environments, including meandering and braided rivers, coastal fluvial and fan deltas, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic shores, dry lake flats, and coal-bearing swamps. In the Ereğli-Ulukışla Basin, higher palaeotopographic conditions existed in the AT because of the uplift of the Central Anatolian Plateau during late Middle Miocene (Serravallian)-early Late Miocene (Tortonian) and the subsequent uplift of the Taurus Mountains in the latest Miocene (Messinian) as deduced in the Tepeköy region (northeast) of the HT sub-basin. Diversity and abundance of archaic pollen (Normapolles) in the pollen biostratigraphy decreased from the Eocene to Oligocene, while forms with advanced angiosperm morphology (post-Normapolles), were observed with the increase in post-Normapolles during the Miocene. The dominance of woody angiosperms in the pollen assemblages, and increasing variety and abundance of ‘open herbs’ and shrub pollen from the Early Miocene to Late Miocene defines an important change in flora. Furthermore, the palaeoclimatic conditions changed from humid-subtropical to warm-temperate during the sediment deposition in the Ereğli-Ulukışla Basin. Recurrent arid phases during the Late Miocene are indicated by the deposition of reddish caliche conglomerates in broad dry lake flats (HT), and evaporites in local playa lakes (AT), respectively.

Cost accounts, payback period and CO2-SO2 emission calculations were performed based on these analyses. Second of all, the relationship between a number of degree day (NDD) and optimum insulation thickness (xopt) was developed by linear, quadratic and cubic correlations. Thirty different mathematical correlations based on different fuel types by using XPS and EPS insulating materials. Twenty-four of these models that were developed were generated peculiar to the fuel type; six of them were generated based on average insulation thickness. R2 values of related correlations are between 0.9989 most and 0.9952 at least as well as it is pretty close to (R ≤ 1) one value. The model among these models is the xopt xopt = a+b (NDD) + c(NDD)2+ d(NDD)3 cubic mathematical model that gives the best average value. a = 0.0036, b = 5E-05, c =–7E-09 and d = 6E-13 are the values for XPS material. Following values are for EPS material; a = 0.0028, b = 5E-13, c =–7E-09 and d = 4E-05. R2 determination coefficient of both two equations is pretty close to 0.9989 and 1; the models obtained are less-than-stellar. Optimum insulation thickness of the area can be known based on the type of material via the number of degree day without the need for long analyses. According to the R2 values, the use of all models is recommended for academic and industrial users.
