DEVELOPMENT OF ENGINEERING SOFTWARE FOR SCRAMJETS AND RAMJETS
- Principal Investigator: Numesys İleri Mühendislik A.Ş (Danışman: Prof. Dr. Aliihsan Koca)
- Project Funding Agency: TÜBİTAK
- Abstract: The project will develop a one-dimensional (1D) analysis software for scramjet and ramjet engines used in high-speed munitions. The tool will include fuel and geometry libraries and use AI models to produce results from user inputs. A fatigue module will estimate remaining life and suggest flight envelopes, while a scenario module will analyze engines under varying conditions. With built-in model creation, calibration, optimization, and training features, the platform will support all users across the design–analysis–operation cycle and enable democratized simulation.
DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF A MULTI-SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM FOR VARIOUS CLIMATIC ZONES
- Principal Investigator: Mir Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş. (Danışman: Prof. Dr. Aliihsan Koca)
- Project Funding Agency: TÜBİTAK
- Abstract: The project seeks to develop a multi-source heat pump and establish a design model that facilitates integration and optimization with storage and alternative building energy systems across various climate zones.
DEVELOPING A RADIANT HEATING-COOLING PANEL WITH PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL ADDITIVES TO ENHANCE ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILDINGS
- Principal Investigator: Mir Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş. (Danışman: Prof. Dr. Aliihsan Koca)
- Project Funding Agency: TÜBİTAK
- Abstract: The completed industrial research project focused on developing radiant heating-cooling panels that use phase change material additives. These panels aim to enhance energy efficiency and thermal comfort in buildings.
REFRIGERATOR COOLING SYSTEMS
- Principal Investigator: Prof. Dr. Seyhan Uygur Onbaşıoğlu
- Project Funding Agency: Arçelik-1773 İTÜ TTO
- Abstract: The aim of the project is to transfer theoretical studies carried out to increase the refrigerator system performance to the laboratory environment in our faculty. This study investigates how the design of the muffler outlet pipe and the compressor speed affect the volumetric efficiency and COP using both experimental and numerical methods. Three distinct muffler outlet pipe designs, characterized by varying lengths and diameters, are tested across four different compressor speeds using R600a refrigerant. A numerical model is developed using the GT-SUITE™ platform and subsequently validated against the experimental results.
