Zerrin YILMAZ Prof. Dr. Ursula EICKER (S.A.S) JANUARY 2007 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to the following people for their precious guidance, support and encouragement throughout my research. My supervisor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alpin K. YENER supervised the study on which this thesis is based and her learning, tact and moral support have constantly helped and guided me. Prof Dr. Ursula EICKER encouraged me to join the Erasmus program which lasted ten months in Stuttgart and helped me to improve myself through experience. She suggested me to compare an advanced daylighting system versus a conventional system considering their energy consumption. Dr. Alexander ROSEMANN and Dr. Aziz LAOUADI gave not only encouraging support replying my mails and suggesting solutions but also sending me invaluable documents. Dr. Sırrı AYDINLI advised me first time to study on light pipe systems in my thesis. I am grateful Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dilek ENARUN for her guidance on my decision to use a simulating a system installed in a simple office room rather than using an already present complex light pipe system in my analyses and evaluations. Prof. Dr. A. Zerrin YILMAZ has pointed at areas that need further investigation and made it possible for me to consider those parts as a future project in a more comprehensive study. Three particular thanks must end this list. One is to my family for their endless patience. The second is to my crony, I şıl ÖZCAN for helping me editing my thesis in English. And the last is, to my dearest partner, Fırat KES İM, for his amazing patience and unlimited support.

    JOURNAL OF COLLEGE OF EDUCATION….. 2016…….NO.3 Design and Fabrication of evacuated tube solar thermal collector for domestic hot water Dr. Alaa H. Shneishil Al-Mustansiriyah University, College of Education, Physics Department ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to design and fabricate solar water heating system by Investment defective materials in Iraq for domestic sector applications in order to encourage national industry. Defective neon light tube with length 120 Cm and diameter 3 Cm has been used as an outer pipe. Copper pipe with length 125 Cm and diameter 1 Cm is placed inside the glass tube and close the space between them by circular shell that is used as an inner absorber material after painting it by black non brightness coating. The space between the outer glass tube and the inner copper pipe is evacuated by using small compressor. The evacuated tubes are connected from the upper side with insulated storage tank and from lower side with circulation pump. The evacuated tubes are placed in the focal line of reflective surfaces. The efficiency of the fabricated solar collector has been measured and compared with uninsulated storage tank which put in the same conditions. These measurements are done with and without reflective surfaces. The results indicated that the temperature of water in the evacuated tube with reflective surfaces reach to 59.5 °C while in the evacuated tube without reflective surfaces reaches to 44.3 °C. The temperature of water in the evacuated tube without circulation pump reach to maximum value which about 85.3 oC. This value is greater than that of the case with circulation pump.

  • Commons House
    Commons House Community Features Mailboxes in the lobby (students still have CPO boxes) encourage unintentional bumps when residents pick up mail. Glass doors allow residents to look inside to see what's going on. Community room is for most meetings and programs - for meetings of the entire community, the Folk Center across the street has low rental fees and we felt we didn't need to duplicate a space of that size with a commercial kitchen. The "kid room" allows children to have their own area during meetings or when parents are doing laundry. Laundry room has washers for residents of original apartments and dryers for use by all residents. Newer apartments have washers but not dryers to make using dryers a choice not an automatic assumption. Examples of re-use Barn siding on outside is from an actual barn. Wood for ceilings came from a house. Carpet in kid room and office is from recycled fibers.

  • Modifying the Design of Solar Tube to Produce Cost Effective Dispose of Sunlight in Multi-Storey Buildings
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 2, ISSUE 2, FEBRUARY 2013 ISSN 2277-8616 Modifying The Design Of Solar Tube To Produce Cost Effective Dispose Of Sunlight In Multi-Storey Buildings Vineet Kumar Singh, Amit Kumar Jain Abstract: - Since the population of world is increasing at a very faster rate, the demand for the basic necessities is also increasing. Such necessities include food, clothing, shelter etc, the main challenge the government is facing is the increasing demand for the power generation for the entire population which is necessary for any country to be called a developed nation. The demand for shelter is being met by the very rapid rate of colonization which if not properly controlled will definitely lead to reduction in net sown area, increased deforestation and various ecological problems. So the trend is to build the multi-storey buildings on a very small piece of land. It has been observed that the buildings in metropolitan city are very close to each other and sometimes they are not properly oriented to the sun. Again the present era construction is being carried out underground such as the ones used in colleges for constructing library, laboratory, and metro stations. So the interior of the building remains in darkness even in the daytime. Thus to create the illumination in the building during the day, a lot of energy (electrical) is wasted. So in this paper an attempt is being made to produce and implement a system that will replace the existing day lighting systems without incurring a huge sum of money.
