Research Title: ISENTROPIC SOUND PROPAGATION ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OVER FLAT PLATE OF SATURATED POROUS MEDIA WITH VARIABLE PERMEABILITY

Author: Laith Batarseh, Published Year: 2014

Faculty: Engineering and Technology

Abstract: The problem of sound propagation over flat plate of porous media was investigated with both stationary and movable flow conditions with a simple geometrical interfere where the permeability is assumed to be exponentially decaying in the normal direction = e−η K Ko and the thickness is optimized according to the maximum attenuation. It is found that the main parameters that affect the propagation process are:- porosity; ε, static permeability; Ko and the steady flow Mach number; M . In addition, it is found that the new interfere of the permeability can improve the attenuation of sound wave when it is combined with the porosity and steady flow parameters beside the minimum required thickness. Also, the minimum required thickness depends on static permeability, porosity and flow state.

Research Title: IMPACT OF ECCENTRICITY ON HEAT TRANSFER IN AN ANNULAR SQUARE FILLED WITH SATURATED POROUS MEDIUM

Author: Laith Batarseh, Published Year: 2017

Faculty: Engineering and Technology

Abstract: In this work, the eccentricity effect on heat transfer in an annular square filled with a saturated porous medium was investigated. A numerical solution based on the Galerkin finite element was found for three different cases: (1) positive and negative diagonal eccentricity, (2) positive and negative horizontal eccentricity ±ex, and (3) positive and negative vertical eccentricity. In this study, the outer walls of the annuli were kept isothermally at hot temperature, while the inner walls were kept isothermally at cold temperature. The analysis is carried out to find the influence of eccentricity for three selected nondimensional values (±0.1, ±0.5, ±0.9) on two selected Rayleigh numbers of 100 and 200, without and with the effect of radiation equal to 0 and 1 and for different width ratios (0.25, 0.5, 0.75), respectively. Numerical results of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics inside the porous medium for the three cases considered were presented and discussed. Furthermore, the results of the average Nusselt number of each outer wall show an increase as eccentricity increases, in particular, at higher values of width ratios ≥0.75.

Abstract: Energy is extracted in gas turbine systems by expanding working fluids (hot gases) through several rings passages of fixed stator (blades) and moving rotor blades. Blades should have maximum reliability, durability, maximum yield strength and minimum material cost. The objective of this work is to analyze three dimensional stress-strain field equations on a three dimensional axial flow turbine blade using two types high speed steel –HSS- (iron base super alloys) and titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-2Sn.). An attempt has been made to compute stresses and displacements of a typical rotor blade of gas turbine system and comparing the obtained results with an available data. The analysis also involves derivation of three dimensional stress-strain equations, including body, forces. Attention was focused on analyzing stress-strain field on the upper, lower blade surfaces, and on the chord line of the turbine blade. The discretized (meshed ) model of the blade is generated using solidworks package, and the generated equations are solved by customized software. Steady state stress-strain analysis is assumed to understand the generalized behavior of blade forces from root to tip using finite element method. The results show that complexity of the stress-strain field over turbine blade. Result show that Ti6Al4V is better than HSS in most of application cases.element techniques and software to analyse strain and stress of a typical gas turbine blade

Abstract: This study seeks to extend Abor’s (2005), and Gill, et al., (2011) findings regarding the effect of capital structure on profitability by examining the effect of capital structure on profitability of the industrial companies listed on Amman Stock Exchange during a six-year period (2004-2009). The problem statement to be analyzed in this study is: Does capital structure affect the Industrial Jordanian companies? The study sample consists of 39 companies. Applying correlations and multiple regression analysis, the results reveal significantly negative relation between debt and profitability. This suggests that profitable firms depend more on equity as their main financing option. Yet recommendations based on findings are offered to improve certain factors like the firm must consider using an optimal capital structure and future research should investigate generalizations of the findings beyond the manufacturing sectors.

Research Title: Harmonics generation Due to Multi-Cycle Auto Reclosing on HV Transmission Lines

Author: Mohammed Bani Younis, Published Year: 2019

Faculty: Engineering and Technology

Abstract: The technology of auto-reclose has been widely used on overhead HV transmission lines in most of power systems. As most of the faults on a transmission line are transient in nature, the auto-reclose can greatly improve the reliability and stability of the power system. The purpose is to make the fault line re-run after the temporary fault elimination. In this work the generation and nature of harmonics during auto reclosing process is investigated using adopted Fourier series instead of Fourier transform. It is found that subharmonics as well as higher order harmonics of the line frequency are generated depending on the type and durations of the reclosing. Also the amplitude and phase-angle relationships of these harmonic components are calculated for multi-pole multi-cycle auto reclosing. The results were verified using fast Fourier transform. It is found that the adopted Fourier series method gives more accurate and clearer results for the nature of harmonics than those based on simulation techniques such as FFT and discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT).
