Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Droplet Based Multi-Drug Screening System Controlled With Electrostatic Microvalves(Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society, 2012) Yildirim, E.; Yıldırım, Ender; Özgür, E.; Külah, H.; Makine MühendisliğiThis paper presents a droplet-based drug effect analysis system utilizing electrostatically-actuated normallyclosed microvalves to screen the effect of multiple drugs on a single type of cell. Proposed system minimizes the need for off-chip equipment by utilizing parylene based electrostatic microvalves. Prototypes of the system were fabricated and tested using colored DI water and 3 μm diameter micro beads, emulating drugs and cells respectively. During the tests, micro beads could be successfully entrapped in 137 pl droplets. Tests carried out with yeast cells also yielded successful encapsulation of the cells. It was shown that, switching between the drugs could be achieved by applying 200 V dc to operate the microvalves.Conference Object Droplet Based Cell Screening System Integrated With Cmos Image Sensor and Android-Based Application(Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society, 2020) Yıldırım, Ender; Özkan, M.D.; Aslan, M.K.; Atik, A.C.; Özgür, E.; Yıldırım, E.; Külah, H.; Makine MühendisliğiThis paper presents a droplet based single cell screening concept, where the cells encapsulated in microdroplets are monitored by integrating a commercial CMOS image sensor to the microfluidic chip.

Bekir; Çoğun, Can; Cogun, Can; Mekatronik MühendisliğiIn this study, a new hybrid electrochemical drilling (ECD) method, based on electrochemical machining in nonconventional machining processes, was developed. In the developed method, tube tool makes rotary motion together with inner through hole flushing. A small scale prototype ECD machine has been designed and manufactured to test the developed method. One of the important features of the new system is the regulation of tool feed rate using current feedback control. The Hadfield (manganese) steel, whose strain hardening behavior makes it very difficult to machine with conventional methods, and AISI 1040 steel, whose machinability is fairly good, were drilled using the prototype machine and results were compared. Workpiece material removal rate increased with the increasing machining voltage, tool rotational speed, electrolyte concentration and flushing pressure in both types of steels. Average radial overcut values increased with the rotational speed of the tool. The AISI 1040 steel hole geometries were regular than that of Hadfield steel. Experimental results showed that deep holes can be drilled successfully with the proposed hybrid ECD method.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Small-Scale Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured Ti-6al(The University of Texas at Austin, 2020) Totuk, Onat Halis; Haghshenas, M.; Totuk, O.; Masoomi, M.; Thompson, S.M.; Shamsaei, N.; Mekatronik MühendisliğiThis article aims at studying microstructure and nano/micro-scale mechanical responses of Ti-6Al4V fabricated using a Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) method. To this end, an instrumented depth-sensing nanoindentation system has been used to assess hardness, Young's modulus, strain rate sensitivity and rate dependent plastic deformation of the alloy at different build Orientations (in the Z-plane and X-plane) at ambient temperature. Indentation tests were conducted at constant proportional loading rate of 15 mN/s in a depth-controlled (hind=2000 nm) testing regime. The Microstructure characterizations were performed using optical and scanning electron microscopy to assess the correlations to the mechanical properties achieved by the nanoindentation testing to better establish structure-property relationships for L-PBF Ti-6Al-4V. It is expected that the fine microstructure, developed by fast solidification during the L-PBF process, to directly contribute to the nanoindentation measurements at different strain rates.

HTPEM type fuel cells gain the highest interest lately, due to their advantages in terms of increasing efficiency and power quality, reducing harmful emissions and flexibility of operation with respect to the other fuels. The micro-cogeneration system involves producing both electrical energy and hot water and/or vapor together in an economical way, utilizing single fuel (HTPEM fuel cells) for household applications. During the operation of the fuel cell, for high efficiency and stable power production, the access heat of the stack should be removed constantly and the temperature of the stack should be held stable. Heat recovered from the designed innovative cooling system is used for acquiring energy for heating water. This way, thermal efficiency is almost doubled compared to simple cycle. In the scope of this study, 225 W HTPEM fuel cell stack is designed and tested at 160 degrees C operation temperature with hydrogen gas and air. During operation, for homogenous distribution of temperature among the cells, for a short start up period leading to a fast required steady state temperature and for constantly removing the access heat produced in the cell, the cell stack is cooled by using a cooling fluid (Heat Transfer Oil 32- Petrol Ofisi). Selection of insulation material type and thickness for the cell stack is done using natural convection and radiation loss calculations. For the most efficient operating conditions, micro-cogeneration system water inlet and exit temperatures, water and cooling fluid flow rates, convenient pipe diameter and pump power calculations are done to finalize the design. With the cogeneration system designed during the studies, by recovering the access heat of the insulated HTPEM cell stack, district water with initial temperature of 15-20 degrees C is heated around 50 degrees C. Data gathered during studies indicate that fuel cell micro-cogeneration application is highly viable.Conference Object Fluorescent On-Chip Imager by Using a Tunable Absorption Filter(Ieee, 2017) Arpali, Caglar; Yıldırım, Ender; Yildirim, Ender; Arpali, Çağlar; Arpali, Serap Altay; Arpali, Serap; Makine Mühendisliği; Mekatronik Mühendisliği; Elektronik ve Haberleşme MühendisliğiConference Object Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13A Reconfigurable Microfluidic Transmitarray Unit Cell(Ieee, 2013) Erdil, Emre; Yıldırım, Ender; Topalli, Kagan; Zorlu, Ozge; Toral, Taylan; Yildirim, Ender; Kulah, Haluk; Civi, Ozlem Aydin; Makine MühendisliğiThis paper presents a novel microfluidics based approach to develop a reconfigurable circularly polarized transmitarray unit cell. The unit cell comprises double layer nested split ring slots formed as microfluidic channels that can be filled by fluids. Split regions in the slots are realized by injecting liquid metal into the channels. Beam steering is obtained by implementing rotational phase shifting via manipulating the liquid metal in the slots. X-band unit cell prototypes are fabricated on glass substrate carrying a patterned metal film, and the slot channels are formed by Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using soft lithography techniques.Conference Object Neck Protection in Autonomous Car Crashes(Kauno Technologijos Universitetas, 2020) Yavuz, Samet; Yavuz, S.; Himmetoglu, S.; Makine MühendisliğiAutonomous cars which are expected to be on the market in the upcoming years, present new challenges to restraint system design since unconventional seating plans can put the occupants at more risk. For instance, an occupant sitting on a rear facing seat can experience higher risk of whiplash in a frontal impact considering the fact that statistically frontal impacts do happen at higher severities than rear impacts as seen in the crash test conditions of US NCAP. In this study, an improvement to car seat design is presented in which the seatback is automatically rotated into a more upright position prior to impact in order to increase the energy absorbing potential of the seatback. The study involves computer simulation of a seat-occupant system to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed system. © 2020 Kaunas University of Technology.

In cement production process, a large portion of the heat losses which is due to energy consumption consist of convection and radiation heat losses from the surface of rotary kiln. In this study, empirical equation was derived for heat loss from surface of rotary kiln in a cement factory using empirical equations and statistical modeling techniques by the help of temperatures measured surface of rotary kiln. Measured with thermal cameras and the data necessary for experimental modeling was obtained the factory central control room. Total heat loss of system was calculated using Matlab. Statistical analysis related to results was carried out by Minitab 15.1.1 program. It was concluded that heat losses throughout rotary kiln increased toward the center of the kiln.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Ann and Anfis Performance Prediction Models for Francis Type Turbines(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2020) Aylı, Ülkü Ece; Ayli, Ece; Ulucak, Oguzhan; Makine MühendisliğiTurbines can be operated under partial loading conditions due to the seasonal precipitation fluctuations and due to the needed electrical demand over time. According to this partial working need, designers generate hill chart diagrams to observe the system behavior under different flow rates and head values. In order to generate a hill chart, several numerical or experimental studies have been performed at different guide vane openings and head values which are very time consuming and expensive. In this study, the efficiency prediction of Francis turbines has been performed with ANN and ANFIS methods under different operating conditions and compared with simulation results. The obtained results indicate that it is possible to obtain a hill chart using ANFIS method instead of a costly experimental or numerical tests. ANN and ANFIS parameters which effect the output, have been optimized with trying 100 different cases. 75% of the numerical data set is used for training and 25 % is used for validation as testing data. To asses and compare the performance of multiple ANN and ANFIS models several statistical indicators have been used. Insight to the performance evaluation, it is seen that ANFIS can predict the efficiency distribution with higher accuracy than the ANN model. The developed ANFIS model predicts the efficiency with 1.41% mean average percentage error and 0.999 R-2 value. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study in the literature that ANN and ANFIS are used in order to predict the efficiency distribution of the turbines at different loading conditions.
