Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16The Fuzzy Logic-Based Modeling of a Micro-Scale Sloped Solar Chimney Power Plant(KOREAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 2021-02-27) Güzel, Muhammed Hüseyin; Ünal Ercan, Hatice; Önder, Ahmet; Şen, Muhammed Arif; Köse, Faruk; Unal, Recep EmreThe energy demand of world is increasing worldwide because of increasing population and developing technology. The use of environmentally friendly renewable resources is very important in providing the increasing energy needs. In the renewable energy sources, the solar energy has a strategic importance because of its huge potential and unlimited. The production of electrical energy by solar chimney power plants is one of the reliable and profitable methods. Fuzzy logic-based approaches are commonly used for modeling different systems in many fields. Also, a renewable energy system can be modelled by fuzzy definitions. In this way, it can provide efficiently and quickly theoretical estimates of systems with productive simulations. In this study, using the experimental data obtained from the micro-scale sloped solar chimney power plant in carried on scientific research project by authors, the obtaining and verifying a fuzzy logic-based model (FLBM) that can calculate the change in air velocity at turbine according to the change of radiation and temperature is presented. The air velocity at the turbine inlet is the considerable variable determining the electricity generation in a solar chimney. Thus, the output of the model is determined as this air velocity. In changes in the radiation and temperature values are defined as inputs. A two input-one output fuzzy model is obtained, in which the inference method is designed in the form of Mamdani and the membership functions in the form of the triangle, making inferences according to the rule base determined by the experience achieved from the experimentally studies. In order to investigate the accuracy of the FLBM, the simulation results and the data get from experimental setup in April 2019 are compared and evaluated. The validation of the FLBM compared to the experimental system is investigated using different error evaluation criteria. It is proved that the results of FLBM and experimental data are realized at a high rate (95.95 %) close to each other and similarly.Article Effect of Thermal Conditioning on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon/Aramid Intra-Ply Hybrid Thermoplastic Composites(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2026) Guzel, Muhammed Huseyin; Onal, GurolThis study investigates the effect of thermal conditioning on the mechanical properties of carbon/aramid intraply hybrid reinforced thermoplastic composites. Laminates were manufactured using hand lay-up assisted vacuum infusion with a liquid thermoplastic Elium matrix and subjected to mechanical testing at -50, -25, 0, +25, and +50 degrees C. Tensile, flexural, and single-edge notch bending tests were conducted to evaluate temperature-dependent responses under different loading modes. A significant decrease in mechanical properties was observed as the conditioning temperature increased from +25 degrees C to +50 degrees C, corresponding to reductions of 9.00 % in tensile strength, 19.52 % in flexural strength, and 9.04 % in apparent fracture toughness. In contrast, specimens conditioned at sub-zero temperature (-50 degrees C) exhibited enhanced mechanical performance. At this temperature, the composite achieved a tensile strength of 538.50 MPa, a tensile modulus of 26.94 GPa, a flexural strength of 389.90 MPa, a flexural modulus of 33.42 GPa, and an apparent fracture toughness of 151.04 MPa m(0.5). The thermal response of carbon/aramid intraply hybrid thermoplastic composites is governed predominantly by matrix and interfacial effects.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 5Investigation on the Cost-Effective Optimal Dimensions of a Solar Chimney With the Bees Algorithm(Springer Heidelberg, 2022-09-20) Ünal, Recep Emre; Güzel, Muhammed Hüseyin; Sen, Muhammed Arif; Köse, Faruk; Kalyoncu, MeteSolar chimney systems which consist of three main parts (collector, chimney, turbine) are one of the main thermal methods that produce electricity using solar energy. In a solar chimney, the high-power generation that can be obtained by increasing the design dimensions can also cause ineffective high investment costs. In this study, differing from the traditional design approach, a heuristic optimization method based on the Bees Algorithm is present to obtain the optimum design parameters (the chimney and collector dimensions) that are provided the more effective solutions. It is made for 3 configurations in order to prove the accuracy of the optimization study using different algorithm parameters. By using the obtained mathematical equations and the defined non-currency investment cost unit for a traditional solar chimney, the optimum design parameters that can provide more power output with acceptable costs are investigated. Two main objectives are taken into consideration namely maximizing efficiency of solar chimney system and minimizing investment cost. In the optimization process, within the ranges determined for the decision variables, the maximum and minimum dimensions are determined as 1293.05-1330.47 m for the collector diameter, 94-99 m for the chimney diameter and 783-792 m for the chimney height. The obtained results showed that this open to develop approach proposed within the scope of the study can be useful in the optimal design of solar chimney systems.Article Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Different Conditioning Temperatures on Mode-i Fracture Toughness in Intraply Hybrid Carbon/Aramid/Elium Composites(2026) Guzel, Muhammed Huseyin; Önal, GürolThis study investigates the Mode-I fracture toughness performance of intraply hybrid carbon/aramid fiber-reinforced Elium thermoplastic composites under various thermal conditioning temperatures ranging from -50 °C to +50 °C. Specimens were manufactured using the hand lay-up assisted vacuum infusion method and subjected to Double-Cantilever Beam (DCB) tests. The results demonstrate that thermal conditioning significantly influences the interlaminar fracture energy. Specifically, sub-zero conditioning at -50 °C resulted in a 10.41% increase in fracture toughness compared to the reference temperature (+25 °C), reaching a value of 1240.30 J/m2, which is attributed to enhanced fiber bridging. Notably, at +50 °C, the fracture toughness reached its peak value of 1242.61 J/m2, representing a 10.61% improvement. This enhancement is linked to the softening effect and increased ductility of the Elium matrix as it approaches its glass transition region. The study’s original contribution lies in characterizing the thermal resilience of these recyclable hybrid composites, proving that Elium-based systems can maintain and even enhance their damage tolerance under fluctuating environmental conditions. These findings provide critical data for the design of sustainable and high-performance structural components in the aerospace and automotive industries.Article Influence of Water Aging on The Mode-I Fracture Toughness of Intraply Hybrid Carbon/Aramid/Elium Composites(2026) Guzel, Muhammed Huseyin; Önal, GürolIn this study, the fracture behavior of carbon/aramid intraply hybrid fiber-reinforced composites with a thermoplastic Elium matrix was investigated using the double-cantilever beam test. The composites were aged in distilled water for up to 6 months, and the fracture performance of unaged samples was compared with those aged for 2, 4, and 6 months. The maximum force and Mode-I fracture toughness of unaged samples were 152.84 N and 1131.43 J/m2, respectively. After aging, these values increased by 26.99% and 32.14%, reaching 194.09 N and 1495.11 J/m2, respectively. Notably, water aging positively affected the interlaminar delamination behavior of carbon/aramid/Elium composites. The findings of this study demonstrate that Elium matrix hybrid composites are a promising alternative for real-world applications in demanding environments such as marine and automotive, as their interlaminar fracture toughness increases even after water aging.Article Next-Generation Multifunctional Composites: The Role of MXene Nanosheets in Enhancing Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Polymers(2026) Guzel, Muhammed HuseyinFiber-reinforced polymer composites are indispensable in high-performance engineering sectors. This study investigates the potential of MXenes as advanced reinforcing agents for carbon, glass, basalt, and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) epoxy composites. It presents a comparative analysis evaluating the effects of the primary MXene synthesis methods: Direct HF etching method and the Minimally Intensive Layer Delamination (MILD) method using LiF/HCl. Literature synthesis reveals that MXenes significantly enhance Interlaminar Shear Strength (ILSS), flexural modulus, and fracture toughness even at ultra-low concentrations through mechanisms such as crack deflection, bridging, and mechanical interlocking. Notably, interfacial modifications in UHMWPE composites have demonstrated a reported increase in Interfacial Shear Strength (IFSS). Beyond mechanical gains, MXenes provide multifunctional capabilities, including electromagnetic interference shielding and superior resistance to corrosive environments. This study concludes that, despite being an emerging area, the synergy between MXenes and fiber-reinforced epoxy polymers represents a promising approach for the development of next-generation multifunctional composites with high durability.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Experimental Study of a Micro-Scale Sloped Solar Chimney Power Plant(Korean Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2021-12-01) Güzel, Muhammed Hüseyin; Ünal Ercan, Hatice; Köse, Faruk; Unal, Recep EmreSolar chimney power plants (SCPP) are structures that have the potential to generate a significant amount of electrical energy without harming the nature. Within the scope of this study, a micro-scale sloped solar chimney power plant (MSSCPP) experimental setup with a chimney of 8 m height and a sloped collector of 6.4 m diameter was designed and constructed. The air temperature in the collector and the velocity of the air in the chimney were recorded and analyzed in detail. The results obtained from the experiments show that the effect of solar radiation on the temperature and velocity of the air is remarkable. The effect of solar radiation on the efficiency of sloped collector found to be 14.2 %. In addition, although the dimensions of the experimental setup are small, the difference between temperatures at the inlet and outlet of sloped collector are increasing up to 2.4 degrees C and air velocity at the inlet of the chimney reaches 2.2 m/s. Large-scale sloped solar chimney power plants (SSCPP) can be used to help meet the electricity demand, especially in rural areas with natural slopes.Doctoral Thesis Farklı Sıcaklık ve Su Yaşlandırmasının Aramid Karbon Takviyeli Elium Matrisli Kompozitlerin Mekanik Özelliklerine Etkisi(2025) Güzel, Muhammed Hüseyin; Önal, GürolBu tez çalışmasında, katman içi aramid/karbon hibrit fiber takviyeli termoplastik Elium matrisli kompozitlerin mekanik performansı farklı sıcaklık ve su yaşlandırması etkisi altında deneysel olarak incelenmiştir.

In this study, experimental data of Newtonian 40% aqueous glycerin solution (GS) and non-Newtonian 600ppm aqueous xanthan gum solution (XGS) working fluids were used to model the hydraulic performance of a centrifugal blood pump. A novel fuzzy logic-based model (FLM) for modeling the hydraulic performance of the pump model is proposed. In the proposed model, there are two inputs which are flow rate and impeller rotational speed and one output which is head pressure. In FLM, the range for flow rate is 1-7.8L/min in GS and 1-8L/min in XGS, and for head pressure 50-245mmHg in GS and 50-215mmHg in XGS. In addition, impeller rotational speed range is 2700-3600rpm for both fluids. The estimated results with FLM were validated with the experimental results and it was seen that the FLM was compatible with the experimental results with an accuracy of 96.25%. These results imply that the developed FLM is acceptable and can be used to assist in determining the performance of blood pumps.Master Thesis Eğimli Kollektörlü Bir Mikro Güneş Bacası Güç Sisteminin Tasarımı, Kurulumu ve Deneylerinin Yapılması(Konya Teknik Üniversitesi, 2019) Güzel, Muhammed Hüseyin; Köse, FarukArtan nüfus ve gelişen teknoloji nedeniyle dünyanın enerji ihtiyacı her geçen gün artmaktadır.
