FarhanObaid T. FadhilHamdi E. AhmedJournal Article20210602<span style="font-size: 16px;">This paper contributes to the field of improving the performance of heat exchangers using metal foam (MF) full-filled and partially/periodically-filled within the gap between the two pipes. The effect of configuration and arrangement of copper MF (15PPI and porosity of 0.95) installed on the outer surface of the inner pipe of a counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger on the thermal and hydraulic performance was studied experimentally. The test section consisted of concentric two pipes; the inner pipe which was made of copper while the outer pipe was a Polyvinyl chlo-ride. Air was used as a working fluid in both hot and cold sides. A wide cold air flow rate range was covered from 3 to 36 m3/h which corresponds to Reynolds number (Re) range from 2811 to 31,335. The hot air flow rate was kept constant at 3m3/h. The temperature difference (ΔT) be-tween the inlet hot air and inlet cold air was adopted to be (20°C, 30°C, 40°C, and 50°C). The re-sults revealed that the higher Nusselt number (Nu) was at ΔT= 50°C and the thermal performance of the heat exchanger with the MF for all the arrangements was greater than the smooth heat exchanger. The highest and lowest friction factor was 1.033 and 0.0833 for the case 1 and 8, re-spectively, and the optimal performance evaluation criteria (PEC) was 1.62 for case 7 at Re = 2800. The Nu would be increased with a moderate increase in the friction factor by optimizing the arrangement of the MF. The two essential parameters that played an important role for in-creasing the PEC were the MF diameter and the MF arrangement along the axial length of the cold air stream.</span>https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171162_d90b245470ef145aa9dce09d39544f1a.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Comprehensive review study for the effect of utilizing waste materials on the thermal conductivity of concretes11312017116410.37649/aengs.2021.171164ENAhmed Abdullah MohammedMohammed Akram AhmedH.

Therefore, a skyrocketed attention has been paid to create new opportunities for the use of recycle materials to develop a new construc-tion substance with more satisfactory properties. The use of waste products in concrete is not only economical, but it helps in solid waste management as well. Among various properties of concrete, thermal conductivity is a crucial factor that plays an important role in in building insu-lation by evaluating a material's capacity to transfer heat. This paper aims to review the potential application of waste materials in concrete as additive ingredients and investigate the effect of this waste material on thermal conductivity of concrete. The review of literature revealed that the application of most of the waste materials exhibited an obvious potential as thermal insulator. However, further investigated work is needed to highlight the advantages of utilizing waste mate-rials in concrete containing various type of waste materials</span>https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171164_6f6436df348645b3ebfdddb2243c2f52.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Experimental Study of Parabolic Trough Receiver with Perforated Twisted Tape Insert Using Fuzzy Model Analysis13013817117010.37649/aengs.2021.171170ENS.

Dawoodaa Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Anbar, Ramadi, Anbar, IraqJournal Article20210515<span style="font-size: 16px;">A solar water heating system has been fabricated and tested to analyze the thermal performance of Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC) using twisted tape insert inside absorber tube with twisted ratio about TR=y/w=1.33. The performance of PTSC system was evaluated by using three main important indicators: water outlet temperature (Tout), useful energy and thermal efficiency (ηth) under the effect of mass flow rate (ṁ) ranges between 0.02 and 0.04 Kg/s with the corresponding of Reynolds number (Re) range (2000 to 4000). In a parallel, a fuzzy-logic model was proposed to predict the thermal efficiency (ηth) and Nusselt number (Nu) of PTSC depending on the experimental results. The fuzzy model consists of five input and two output parameters. The input parameters include: solar intensity (I), receiver temperature (Tr), water inlet temperature (Tin), water outlet temperature (Tout) and water mass flow ( ) while, the output include the thermal efficiency (ηth) and Nu. The final results indicate that, owing to the mixture of the swirling flow of the perforated twisted-tape insert, the perforated twist tape insert enhances the heat transfer characteristics and the thermal efficiency of the PTSC system. More specifically, the use of perforate twist tape inserts enhanced the thermal efficiency by 4% to 4.5% higher than smooth absorber tube. Also, the predicted values were found to be in close agreement with the experimental counterparts with accuracy of ~92 %. So, the suggested Fuzzy model system would have high validity and precision in forecasting the success of a PTSC system compared to that of the traditional model. Pace, versatility, and the use of expert knowledge for estimation relative to those of the traditional model are the advantages of this approach</span>https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171170_e26d3ae374d018aebc31406ad207299a.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Evaluation and treatment of waste water effect on groundwater quality (the University of Anbar area as a case study)13914517117210.37649/aengs.2021.171172ENMohammed Freeh SahabDepartment of Dams and Water Resources Engineering, Universtiy of Anbar, Ramadi, IraqJournal Article20210610<span style="font-size: 16px;">This research focuses on studying the impact of different sources of wastewater, such as do-mestic, industrial, agricultural, etc. upon groundwater. The swamp of contaminated water collec-tion within the Al-Anbar University area was taken as a case study for this research. This swamp has a pond that works as a collection basin for different sources of wastewater mainly domestic waste coming from leakage of contaminated water from the septic-tank of the residential com-plex of students. This contaminated water will leak over time within the folds of soil due to per-meability and the effect of land attraction and reach the levels of groundwater.The presence of polluted water near groundwater is an environmental hazard and harmful because this leakage water has different diseases and germs, which could pose a danger to human health. Different samples of these sources were taken from different places at different times and some physical, chemical, and biological tests were then conducted. Wastewaters characterization was also investigated in this study to make an assessment for water quality and find out a proper treatment method. Data obtained from this study show different levels of pollutants, which could highly affect groundwater quality. A proper and advanced treatment method was also proposed in this study, depending on the wastewater characterization results. The purpose of this research is wastewater treatment using the physical method with coagulation and Flocculation processes with local coagulants to reduce pollutants impact on groundwater.The results showed the addi-tion of alum at 35 mg/l increased the removal efficiency by 80.7% at the settling time of 60 min, and the addition of 35 mg/l of the lime increased the removal efficiency by 63.9% at the same settling time.It has been proven that the use of alum is more effective than lime for sedimenta-tion suspended matter. The optimum dosage and settling time are 20 mg/l and 60 min respec-tively.</span>https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171172_9240194f7a912ef061f847f5619ecade.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Evaluation of transportation network in AL- Fallujah city14615617117310.37649/aengs.2021.171173ENKhalid Hardan MhanaConstriction and Projects Department, Presidency of University, University of anbar, Ramadi, IraqJournal Article20210607<span style="font-size: 16px;">The city of Fallujah suffers from bad design in their network and it still dominated by the same pattern of the road and street network system that was produced by the previous stages of the development of the city, which is awaiting the necessary and appropriate solutions, which calls for planning to modernize the road network and streets in it that can accommodate the reality of the city’s condition and the proposed expansions for its subsequent urban growth. The transportation network in Fallujah city was chosen as a case study, the network was divided into roads and intersections, the evaluation included two main roads and eleven sectoral roads, eleven arterial roads, and twenty-five intersections. The network was evaluated in three stages, the first stage was traffic flow and service level, the second stage was evaluating the network in terms of road and intersections marking, while the third stage concerned with evaluating the network in terms of sustainability. The HCS 2010 program was applied to evaluate the first stage, while the second and third stages were evaluated based on the field survey. The results of the first stage showed that most parts of the network in the northern zone suffer from traffic problems and have a low level of service, while most parts of the network in the southern zone have a high service level and enjoy high traffic flow. Most parts of the network were suffered from bad marking, which causes many problems for the users of this network. Related to sustainability, we note a lack of interest on the part of designers or decision-makers. It was concluded that traffic solutions should be economically feasible for some parts of the network, which would lead to improving the network’s performance at the level of the three stages.</span>https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171173_3315ac4fdc94c0ab4461b6173a917c9e.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115The Engineering dimensions and its impact on the sustainability on the roads network in Ramadi city15716717682210.37649/aengs.2023.176822ENRana SalahThabitHeet Education Department of Planning and School buildingsThaer MahmoudUniversity of Anbar , IraqHamid AwadDepartment of Civil Engineering , University of AnbarJournal Article20220629Transport is one of the most critical areas of urban life and an essential base for developing and developing<br />societies. It is a crucial indicator of the progress and development of cities and their great benefits. It saves from the<br />movement of people and goods and the prosperity of the economy-social, economic and environmental issues<br />globally and what we are witnessing in recent times. However, despite the tremendous advancement in technology,<br />it continues to face numerous challenges in developed and developing nations, including our own. The absorption<br />of the irrigated volume and any defect in the gradient causes many problems such as congestion, delays, traffic<br />jams and the accompanying psychological, economic, social and environmental effects, energy consumption,<br />depletion of natural resources and lifestyle. So transportation has become a concern. And it became a topic of<br />concern that imposes the need to think about the preparation and development of the transportation system towards<br />sustainability based on meeting transportation needs. In light of the negative impacts of the sustainable planning<br />engineering dimension on the urban road network in Ramadi and for the Iraqi cities, we have thus attempted to<br />study the effect of this project, given the critical impact on sustainable development and the approach used by<br />thinking people and scholars in their studies and documents in Agenda 2030. Through evaluating the data from the<br />research region, which comprised 27 Ramadi neighbourhoods, and applying them to the statistical analysis software<br />(SPSS), it discovers that the schematic engineering dimension indicator represented by the hierarchy has direct and<br />decisive connection significance. The local road area index achieved the most substantial linear relationship,<br />followed by the collective, secondary and major roads indicators. They reached a medium relationship to formulate<br />a sustainable development system based on Ramadi and other Iraqi cities.

These structures are also, exposedto the negative impact of many hostile environments such as soils containing harmful salts andharmful acids. A number of precautions should be considered in order to protect the concreteused in such structures. Adding polymer to concrete components as a percentages weight ofcement is one of the methods for producing polymer-modified concrete, which has lowpermeability, better mechanical properties and is more resistant to the negative effects ofharmful environmental factors. The utilization of polymers could help in protecting structuresand enhancing concrete strength. In this study, concrete mixes were prepared with inclusion ofstyrene butadiene rubber (SBR) polymer at four percentages (0%, 5%, 7% and 10% by cementweight). Co-polymers of butidine with styrene (styrene-butadine rubber (SBR)), are a group oflarge-volume synthetic rubbers. High adhesion occurs between the polymer films that formand cement hydrates. This action gives improves the properties of concrete such as flexuraland compressive strength and gives also a higher durability. The investigation was extended toevaluate the compressive strength of the SBR concrete mixes immersed in three types ofwaters: tap, drainage and ground water, at three different ages. The results showed that SBRpolymer enhanced the compressive strength of concrete significantly. A comparison betweenreduction in strength of concretes immersed in these three types of waters was also presented.Moreover, the presence of SBR polymer led to reduced loss in strength of concrete specimensimmersed in drainage and ground water. A proposed model to determine the compressivestrength of concrete specimens immersed in drainage and ground waters was deduced. Thismodel could be a helpful tool for rapid and easy estimation of the strength of concretespecimens immersed in drainage and ground water at different contents of SBR polymer. Theresults showed the highest improve in compressive strength to be associated with 7% SBRmixes at the three tested ages. The increases in this strength at days 7, 28 and 56 with inclusionof 7% SBR polymer were 112.8%, 113.9% and 116%, respectively, compared to OPC mix.https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171185_3c247d35bec02d212c9b9bfc11695143.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Torsional Capacity of Composite Reinforced Concrete Beams with Stirrup Connectors17719217118610.37649/aengs.2021.171186ENDolfocar Ali Usamah WitwitCivil Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Basra University, Basra, IraqNabeel Abdulrazzaq JasimCivil Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Basra University, Basra, IraqJournal Article20210824New composite reinforced concrete beams, in which reinforced concrete component is connected to steel T-section, are proposed. The shear connection between the two components, the reinforced concrete and the T-section, is provided by the stirrups that are required for the reinforced concrete component to resist the applied shear. Experimental tests in addition to numerical analysis were conducted to determine the behaviour and strength of such beams under pure torsion. Full scale one conventional reinforced concrete beam, T1, and two composite reinforced concrete ones, T2 and T3, were tested. The degree of shear connection between the two components of beams T2 and T3 was changed by varying the number of stirrups which are used as shear connectors. The experimental results revealed approximately same torsional stiffness for the three beams at the uncracked concrete stage. The torsional strength of the composite reinforced concrete beams was greater than that of ordinary reinforced concrete one by 11% and 27% for beams T2 and T3, respectively. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted using program ABAQUS. To model the shear connection in composite reinforced concrete beam, the stirrups were connected to the web of the steel T-section by springs at the location of the stirrups. Good agreement is obtained between the results of the experimental tests and the finite element analysis. The ratios of experimental results to those of finite element analysis for torsional strength are approximately one. Under the pure torsion loading the degree of shear connection is found to have no effect on torsional capacity of beams.https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171186_b4b260350a73343b3c7e9757e8fb8bb5.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Numerical Investigation of Hydraulic-Thermal Performance for a Double-Pipe Heat Exchanger Equipped with 45°-Helical Ribs19320217118710.37649/aengs.2021.171187ENAhmed K.

AhmedMechanical Engineering Department, College of Engineering, University of Anbar, Ramadi, IraqJournal Article20210908In this paper, the hydraulic-thermal performance of a double-pipe heat exchanger equipped with 45°-helical ribs is numerically studied. The ribbed double-pipe heat exchanger is modelled using three heights (H = 0, 2.5, 3.75, 5 mm) of 45°-helical ribs. Two numbers (4-ribs and 8-ribs) of 45°-helical ribs are attached on the outer surface of the inner pipe of the counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger and compared with a smooth double-pipe heat exchanger. Three-Dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for a laminar forced annular flow is performed in order to study the characteristics of pressure drop and convective heat transfer. In addition, the influence of rib geometries and hydraulic flow behaviour on the thermal performance is system-atically considered in the evaluations. The annular cold flow is investigated with the range of Reynolds numbers from 100 to 1000, with three heights of ribs at the same width (W = 2 mm) and inclined angles of (θ = 45°).The results illustrate that the average Nusselt number and pressure drop increase with an in-creasing number of ribs, the height of ribs and Reynold number, while the friction factor decreas-es with increasing Reynolds numbers. The percentage of averaged Nusselt number enhancement for three rib heights (H = 2.5, 3.75 and 5 mm) at 4-ribs is (34%, 65% and 71%), respectively, While for 8-ribs the enhancement percentage is (48%, 87% and 133%) as compared with the smooth double-pipe heat exchanger at Re = 100. The best performance evaluation criteria of (PEC) at (8-ribs, and H = 5 mm) is 2.8 at Re = 750. The attached 45-helical ribs in the annulus path can generate kind of secondary flows, which enhance the fluid mixing operation between the hot surface of the annular gap and the cold fluid in the mid of the annulus, which lead to a high-temperature distribution. Increasing the height of 45°-helical ribs lead to an increase in the sur-face area subjecting to convective heat transfer.https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171187_1167f5674424ab87ffd132df4a7aa658.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Rutting Performance of Asphalt Layers Mixtures with Inclusion RAP Materials20321017118810.37649/aengs.2021.171188ENAbdalsattar M.

In Iraq, the real inclusion of RAP materials in asphalt mixtures has not been applied yet in the field. It is therefore that there is a need to characterize the effect of inclusion RAP materials in asphalt mixtures with particular reference to permeant deformation/rutting resistance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the best layer of pavement structure; base, binder, and surface layers for inclusion (RAP) materials. In addition, highlight the best percentage that can be added from RAP to achieve positive results and better than that associated reference mixture in terms of rutting resistance. RAP materials collected from different sources Karbala and Fallujah, were adopted in this study at percentages of 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight of the asphalt mixture. Two scenarios of incorporating RAP materials have been adopted. The first is considered that RAP as a black rock in which the effect of aged binder surrounding the aggregate of RAP is neglected while, the letter is not considered RAP as black rock and the influence of aged binder in RAP materials has been taken into consideration. Dora bitumen has adopted in the current study which is used in common in Iraq.

As more wireless communication, entertainment, and driver assistance technologies become available in vehicles, the number of distracted driving accidents is projected to rise. Driver distraction is a major concern in North America, Europe, and Japan when it comes to road safety. The importance of driver distraction as a road safety concern, on the other hand, has just lately been recognized. This study presents an overview of current studies on in-vehicle driver distraction, with an emphasis on mobile phone usage, as this technol-ogy has garnered the most attention in the literature on driver distraction. The impact of in-vehicle gadgets on driving performance is discussed in this review. The adaptive techniques driv-ers use to maintain acceptable driving performance when distracted are discussed, as well as the situations under which these adaptive tactics can fail and how driving performance is harmed when they do. Legislation prohibiting drivers from using their cellphones while driving has had minimal effect, presumably due to a lack of regulation and enforcement. As potential preventive measures to decrease accidents caused by distracted drivers, behavior modification programs, enhanced vehicle safety, and public awareness campaigns have been created.https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171189_727bb30ee7067c7b63e9b5ed0594e74e.pdfUniversity of AnbarAnbar Journal of Engineering Sciences1997-942812220211115Modal Split Model Using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis22222817119010.37649/aengs.2021.171190ENOmaima A.

Water was used as a standard working fluid in order to compare with two different types of nano-fluid namely, nano-CuO /H2O and nano-TiO2/ H2O, both with a volume concentration of 0.02. The performance of the PTSC system was eval-uated using three main indicators: outlet water temperature, useful energy and thermal efficiency under the influence of mass flowrate ranging from 30 to 80 Lt/hr. In parallel, an artificial neural network (ANN) has been proposed to predict the thermal efficiency of PTSC depending on the experimental re-sults. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model consists of four inputs, one output parameter and two hidden layers, two neural network models (4-2-2-1) and (4-9-9-1) were built. The experimental results show that CuO/ H2O and TiO2/H2O have higher thermal performance than water. Overall, it was veri-fied that the maximum increase in thermal efficiency of TiO2/H2O and CuO/H2O compared to water was 7.12% and 19.2%, respectively. On the oth-er hand, the results of the model 4-9-9-1 of ANN provide a higher reliability and accuracy for predicting the Thermal efficiency than the model 4-2-2-1. The results revealed that the agreement in the thermal efficiency between the ANN analysis and the experimental results about of 91% and RMSE 3.951 for 4-9-9-1 and 86% and RMSE 5.278 for 4-2-21.https://ajes.uoanbar.edu.iq/article_171192_232d23c76b1b8e92a41918e9ac4f5f2d.pdf
