    Geothermal energy is gaining more reputation and importance around the world. Correspondingly, suitable location selection is a critical step and has become necessary for the successful installation and operation of geothermal power plants. This study investigated suitability of & Idot;zmir region, located in the Aegean part of T & uuml;rkiye, in terms of geothermal power plants applications by using the combination of Geographical Information System and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Based on the request of power plants, thirteen important criteria were evaluated under three main categories named as physical (C1), environmental (C2) and technical (C3). Moreover, expert's opinions were taken into consideration to calculate the importance of these criteria. Key results showed that & Idot;zmir was suitable for geothermal power plants. The final suitability map layer pointed out that %8.73 (1.037 km2) of total area were determined as highly suitable regions in terms of installation. In addition, the obtained suitability map layer was compared with actual geothermal power plants. Based on the comparison study, power plants in Seferihisar were moderately suitable for geothermal power plants while the location of Bal & ccedil;ova power plant was highly suitable. Regarding the suitability assessment in the present study, the location of Dikili power plants had the least suitability score.

    Efficiency of L-DOPA+TiO2 Modified RO Membrane on Salinity Gradient Energy Generation by Pressure Retarded Osmosis
    (Pamukkale Univ, 2024) Ates, Nuray; Saki, Seda; Gokcek, Murat; Uzal, Nigmet
    Harvesting energy from the salinity gradient of seawater and river water using pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has been a major research topic of recent years. However, there is a need for efficient PRO membranes that can generate high power density and are pressure resistant, as the performance of current membranes on the market is poor. In this study, specific energy potential of PRO process using LDOPA+TiO2 modified BW30-LE membrane was evaluated on synthetic and real water samples. Polyamide BW30-LE RO membrane was modified by L-DOPA, L-DOPA+0.5 wt% TiO2 and L-DOPA+1 wt% TiO2. The effect of hydraulic pressure and temperature on generation of power density were evaluated for 5, 10, and 15 bar pressures, as well as 10 degrees C, 20 degrees C, and 30 degrees C degrees. The incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles with L-DOPA increased the water flux by increasing the surface hydrophilicity and roughness of the membrane surface. The maximum specific power was observed as 1.6 W/m(2) for L-DOPA+1 wt% TiO2 modified BW30-LE membrane at 15 bar pressure. Besides, Mediterranean and Aegean, Black Sea water samples were used as draw solution and Seyhan, Ceyhan, Buyuk Menderes, Gediz, Yesilirmak, and Kizilirmak Rivers were used as feed solution. The highest osmotic power density was obtained by using L-DOPA+1 wt% TiO2 modified BW30-LE membrane with Ceyhan River as feed and Mediterranean Sea water as draw solution, which have the highest differences in salinity. In the mixture of Mediterranean and Ceyhan River, the highest power density was obtained at 10 bar pressure at 30 +/- 5 degrees C with 0.70 W/m(2).

    Köprü ayakları etrafındaki serbest yüzeyli akım, açık kanal hidroliğinin en önemli problemlerinden biridir. Köprünün yapısal tasarımı, köprü ayakları etrafında oluşacak oyulma ve köprü ayakları etrafındaki su hareketini simüle eden hidrolik tasarım ile birlikte doğru bir şekilde yapılmalıdır. Köprü ayaklarının hidrolik tasarımı yeterince iyi değilse, sel ve taşkın gibi durumlarda çok ciddi hasarlara neden olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı köprü ayaklarının su yüzeyine etkisini deneysel ve sayısal olarak analiz etmektir. Sayısal analiz için hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği ile 3 boyutlu çözüm yapan FLOW-3D paket programı ile HEC-RAS paket programı kullanılmış ve sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmada farklı köprü açıklık sayıları için aynı hızda akışlar incelenmiş ve deneysel sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca sonlu hacimler yöntemi ile çözüm yapan FLOW 3D paket programında farklı mesh boyutları ile çözüm yapılarak deneysel sonuçlar ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak FLOW-3D paket programı ile gerçekleştirilen çözümlerin deneysel veriler ile oldukça yakın sonuçlar gösterdiği gözlemlenmiştir.
