AB  - In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method was used in the numerical analysis of the natural circulation experiments of the one-ended inclined pipe-tank system conducted in the laboratory. As a result of the numerical analysis, velocity vectors and temperature contours were obtained. According to these results, it was concluded that natural circulation exists and that it is more effective near the tank inlet of the inclined pipe and that this effectiveness decreases as one moves towards the closed bottom of the pipe. In addition, when the tank average temperature obtained as a result of the 6-hour experiment is compared with the average tank temperature obtained as a result of the numerical analysis, it is concluded that the thermal regime is provided in the experiments with high power of 600 and 800 W applied to the inclined pipe and that more time is required to provide the thermal regime in the experiments with lower power of 200 and 400 W.00 W.

N2  - Bu çalışmada, tek uçlu eğimli boru-tank sisteminin laboratuvarda yapılan doğal dolaşım deneylerinin sayısal analizinde Hesaplamalı Akışkanlar Dinamiği (HAD) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Sayısal analiz sonucunda hız vektörleri ve sıcaklık konturları elde edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre, doğal dolaşımın var olduğu ve eğimli borunun tank girişine yakın yerde daha etkili olduğu ve borunun kapalı dip kısmına doğru gidildikçe bu etkinliğin azaldığı gibi çıkarımlar yapılmıştır. Ayrıca 6 saatlik deney sonucunda elde edilen tank ortalama sıcaklığı ile sayısal analiz sonucunda elde edilen ortalama tank sıcaklığı kıyaslandığında, eğimli boruya uygulanan 600 ve 800 W yüksek güçteki deneylerde ısıl rejimin sağlandığı ve 200 ve 400 W daha düşük deneylerde ise ısıl rejimin sağlanması için daha çok zaman gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
