Therefore, reducing cement consumption can support efforts to reduce that risk. On the other hand, the consumption of industrial wastes in concrete production contributes to improving the environment. Industrial waste can be used as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to enhance concrete properties. This paper reviews the effects of SCMs, such as silica fume, fly ash, metakaolin, and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The findings show that SCMs enhance packing density and reduce permeability. The impact of SCMs on concrete properties appears after a period of curing depending on the availability of calcium hydroxide and activity index. Calcium hydroxide produced from cement hydration reacts with silicates of SCMs to produce additional calcium-silicate hydrates that enhance concrete strength and minimize the relatively large size of calcium hydroxide, which lowers porosity. Silica fume and metakaolin raise water demands and reduce workability, while GGBFS and fly ash improve workability. Silica fume, metakaolin, and (10) μm particle size of GGBFS increase early-age strength, (10-45) μm particle size of GGBFS enhances strength after 28 days, while fly ash raises the strength after 90 days. For low cement content, 10 % or less silica fume, (10-30) % fly ash, (10-20) % GGBFS or metakaolin are considered the perfect percentage to arrive at best strength. For high cement content, (25-30) % silica fume or 40 % fly ash is considered the optimum ratio to reach the highest strength.","PeriodicalId":184256,"journal":{"name":"Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138614756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study presents the transient behaviour of heat absorption and Nusselt number for different velocities and porous media presence/absence cases. Results show that the heat transfer rate decreases over time, with the presence of porous media, providing resistance to heat absorption, particularly at relatively low velocities. The Nusselt number decreases slightly over time, but it increases as the velocity increases in all cases, with the maximum value observed at a velocity of 3 m/s. The presence of porous media significantly enhances heat transfer, with an improvement of up to 150% at a lower velocity of 1.5 m/s and 110% at an inlet velocity of 2.25 m/s. The study provides a comprehensive visualisation of the heat transfer process through contour analysis of temperature distribution, allowing better understanding of the thermal storage system’s design and performance.

These parameters are hard to control within the desired limits by only using traditional constant-speed compressors and constant-speed supply fans. The constant-speed devices with on-off control methods consume a high rate of energy and provide unsatisfactory control, especially for indoor humidity. Therefore, variable speed compressor (VSC) technology was developed to overcome the problems of control and energy consumption. In this study tested a split-type air conditioning system with a capacity of 1 ton (12,000 BTU/hr, 3.5 KW) of refrigeration was tested using R410A as the working fluid under different operating conditions. The system consists of a VSC, an air-cooled condenser, an electronic expansion valve (EEV), and a direct expansion evaporator (DX) with a variable-speed fan. The effect of compressor speed, degree of superheating, EEV opening, and supply fan speed on system performance was considered. Through experiments, concluded several points. First of all, the highest superheat was 20 ℃ at constant compressor speed. On the other hand, the smallest superheat was 10 ℃ at constant compressor speed. The performance coefficient increases when the compressor speed decreases. The highest value of the COP is 4.71, which can be obtained at the compressor speed of 3000 rpm and DS is 20 ℃, while the lowest value of the COP is 1.74 at the compressor speed of 5000 rpm and DS is 10 ℃ because of the increasing the compressor speed leads to an increase in energy consumption and a decrease in the COP, increasing the closing of the expansion valve opening leads to an increase in DS because of a decrease in the flow rate of the refrigerant to the evaporator. Finally, refrigeration capacity and COP increase linearly with evaporator temperature and airflow velocity due to the heat exchange process.","PeriodicalId":184256,"journal":{"name":"Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences","volume":"10 s1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138621226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GRNN is a type of artificial neural network designed to process time-series data, while IWO is a metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the behavior of invasive weed species. To optimize motor drive speed using GRNN and IWO algorithms, data on motor performance over time must be collected and used to train a GRNN model that can predict future motor performance based on past performance. By optimizing the parameters of the GRNN model, the optimal combination of parameters can be found to maximize motor efficiency and performance while minimizing energy consumption and wear and tear on the motor. The objective of this study is to regulate the speed of a Per Magnetic DC (PMDC) motor with high precision and rapid response using a GRNN/IWO controller. The IWO-GRNN controller exhibits superior damping response and reduced overshoot in comparison to conventional GRNN controllers. Additionally, the drive current limiting mechanism ensures that the motor operates within its rated continuous current limit during continuous operation. The IWO-tuned single-loop GRNN controller outperforms the single-loop GRNN controller when tuned. The GRNN-IWO controller provides excellent damping response and minimal overshoot, enabling faster control response of the DC motor, with an accuracy of 98.85% compared to MATLAB-tuned IWO.","PeriodicalId":184256,"journal":{"name":"Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences","volume":"124 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138609078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
