Abstract: Solar PV system in Jordan holds a significant potential, and studies show that solar radiation levels ranging from 2 to 7 kWh/m2 and approximately 330 sunny days per year. One of the modified designs on photovoltaic systems is the off-grid mobile PV generator system, capable of producing an electric power output up to 2kWh/day and incorporating a storage battery system as a backup. The proposed system is compact, small and can be transferred to any location easily. The PV arrays mounted on the main body can be hydraulically opened and closed to save space, ensuring high mobility, easy of construction and operation within short time. This innovative system represents an intelligent solution for numerous locations requiring electrical power such as disaster areas like flood and earthquake zones, sparsely populated regions and camping places. Moreover, This project serves as an educational, practical, and training exercise on Mechanical Engineering principles for undergraduate students. It also constitutes a high-performance engineering project, enabling engineering students to acquire knowledge in solar PV systems, engineering skills, and the freedom to express their creativity and imaginations. Ultimately, this initiative aims to foster the development of experience, skills and professionalism, cultivating “hands on engineers", and potentially contributing to the enhancement of the automotive industry in Jordan. The research work in this paper encompasses the design, construction, and test of a 1kW mobile PV generator with results demonstrating alignment with the design system.

Abstract: In recent years, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) has grown rapidly, as well as public interest in them. However, the lack of sufficient range is one of the most common complaints about these vehicles, which is particularly problematic for people with long daily commutes. Thus, this article proposed a solution to this problem by installing micro wind turbines (MWTs) on EVs as a range extender. The turbines will generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy of the air flowing through the MWT into mechanical energy, which can have a reasonable effect on the vehicle aerodynamics. The article uses mathematical modelling and numerical analysis. Regarding the modelling, a detailed EV model in MATLAB/SIMULINK was developed to analyze the EV performance using various driving cycles in real time. In terms of numerical analysis, a detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been implemented on a sample EV (Kia Soul) and an MWT using the Moving Reference Frame (MRF) method to act as a virtual wind tunnel in order to investigate the aerodynamic performance. The optimum location for the turbines to be installed has been identified on the front bumper of the car. The MWT has been designed from scratch using Qblade and Xfoil solvers by testing many foil sections and blade parameters to find the best design for the vehicle speed range. After using the designed turbine numerical results and implementing them into the EV model in MATLAB/SIMULINK, the results become more accurate. The vehicle efficiency increased by 13.1% at the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) highway driving cycle with five MWTs installed in the front bumper of the car, and its range increased by 24 km on a full charge; however, three MWTs have been studied in the CFD analysis to investigate the effect of the system on the vehicle drag coefficient, which is considered as the main trade-off of the proposed work. The analytical and numerical errors, points of strength, and weaknesses in each method and model have been determined to verify the enti

International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 19

Faculty: Engineering and Technology

Abstract: The reliance on a single energy source leads to many problems, i.e. cost and unsustainable operation. Hybrid renewable energy systems (include more than one energy source) has been effectively shown as a feasible choice to overcome these problems. The main purpose of this research is to carry out a techno-economic optimization to minimize the size of the system with lower cost and higher reliability. This proposed ON-grid hybrid PV/wind energy system is designed to supply the electrical power of a cement factory in Kuwait. To achieve this purpose, the Hybrid Optimization of Electric Energy (HOMER Pro) software was utilized to carry out the optimization process. The results of this study show that the cost of electricity energy generated by the hybrid PV/wind energy system is equal to $0.082/kWh which is much lower when compared to the conventional fuel power plants in Kuwait which is approximately $0.12/kWh.

Abstract: The study discusses the methods of demand construction in Ibn Mujber AL-Andalusi's poetry, and aimed to monitor what he used from it, to highlight its rhetorical connotations, to link it to the semantics and meanings of the texts, and to show the extent of its consistency with them, and to show their role in the building of texts objectively and artistically,Through an applied procedural study, it is based on analyzing and linking each method and its context, and not just monitoring it, using descriptive method integrated with the artistic curriculum; For their role in highlighting the functions of these methods in representing meanings, and imparting artistic values to the texts that give them poetic stemming from their ability to interpret, which leads to a multiplicity of connotations, which gives the texts movement and dynamism. The need for specialized researchers to study such linguistic and rhetorical methods and others in the poetry of some poets of Andalusia, about whom there have been few studies, and about their creativity.

Abstract: : The study dealt with the structure of the Muwashah by Ibn Khatima Al-Ansari, and it studied it thematically, semantically, and rhythmically. This was done by inspecting the two major types of the Muwashah genre: al-Tamm (complete) and Al-Aqra (incomplete), and their most important purposes such as love, winery, description of nature, asceticism, and mysticism. The study then focused on the prosodic structure of these poems based on compliance with the laws of Arabic poetry. This was detailed by highlighting the rhythms, rhymes, and phonetic structure of these poems, linking them to the significance and music of the Muwashah genre. The study had several conclusions: the complete type (Tamm) is the predominant one; most of them followed a non-poetic system, and their rhyme schemes ranged between the free and the limited, The study adopted a structural constructive method, because of its role in studying the construction of Muwashah and analyzing its rhythm and connotations.

Abstract: The study discusses the stylistics of repetition in the poem titled " Glad Tidings: Your Flags Spread Everywhere!" by Ibn Zumrak Gurnaaty. In fact, the poet composed his verse to commend Emir "AL-Ghany Billah " who was a Sultan descending from "Bani-Ahmar" in Granada Kingdom. The most prominent manifestations of repetition in it were monitored and counted, and studied by a semantic study, which leads to the representation of the purposes of the text and its main purpose represented in praise. These manifestations were classified into repetitions related to verb forms: the past, the present, the command, and the repetition of indicatives and compositional techniques methods, and showed their role in building the text on both levels: Objective, artistic, and its impact on imparting semantic pluralism and artistic values, and adopted semantic analysis that helped the connotations of repetition and its overtones, and concluded that Ibn Zamrok invested in the method of repetition, and was able to adapt it to fit with its textual structure, and had a role in representing ideas, confirming and intensifying them, as well as Its rhythmic effect, and the poem gave him music that attracts and delights the recipient.

Abstract: مصطلح "التشجير" يناسب طبيعة العربيّة؛ فالألفاظ فيها تتفرّع غالبًا من الجذور؛ فيصبح كلّ جذر كشجرة تختلف عن غيرها، بسبب لا يعود دائما إلى الشجرة اللغويّة نفسها، بل يرجع إلى ما يتداوله المجتمع من ألفاظ هذه الشجرة. إنَّ التشجير اللغويّ تعبير عن جدليّة العلاقة بين اللغة بقوانينها من جهة، والمجتمع باستعماله مفردات وهجرته أخرى، وتأليفه الكلام على نحوٍ مقبول في المعهود الاجتماعيّ للغة. وقد سعت الدراسة إلى استجلاء إجابة عن تساؤل تثيره هذه الجدلية: هل تُملي اللغة قوانينها بتحديد الألفاظ المستعملة، والمجتمع هو المتلقي لهذه الإملاءات ؟ أم أن اللغة تقدم خيارات ينتقي المجتمع من بينها ما يلائمه؟ وقد سارت منهجية الدراسة على رصد نماذج من الدوال وتحليلها، لاستجلاء معالم هذا التشجير اجتماعيا، وتوصلت إلى نتائج منها: أن التأثير في علاقة اللغة بالمجتمع تبادلي،كما أنه لا يمكن فهم السلوك اللغوي دون الالتفات إلى هذه تكاملية هذه العلاقة. كلمات مفتاحية: تشجير ، تأثير اجتماعي، صياغة لغوية، علاقة ، دوال ، كلمات مستعملة.
