This review summarizes recent research demonstrating the utility of raw and modified date pits biomass-based adsorbents in the removal of heavy metal pollutants from wastewater. Additionally, the chemical compositions, the derived activated carbon, and the proposed mechanism of heavy metal ions were discussed. It thoroughly showed how essential variables including pH, adsorbent dosage, initial metal ion concentration, physical and chemical properties, and temperature affect the adsorption of heavy metals. The significant application of date pits as a bio-adsorbent of heavy metal ions was demonstrated. According to the literature, date pit-based adsorbents are the most promising adsorbents for removing toxic materials because they adsorb heavy metals from aqueous solutions with high capacity in a short period.","PeriodicalId":227530,"journal":{"name":"Al-Qadisiyah Journal for Engineering Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127380126","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 finite element method program, ANSYS, is used to study the effect of these parameters on forming load in the deep drawing process. The three levels of friction coefficient are considered which are 0.08, 0.00, and 0.15, and three die shoulder radius of 4, 6, and 8 mm.

Various factors are taken that affect the performance of four-stroke gasoline engines. Changes in air intake temperature have a significant impact on the performance of a petrol engine. Consequently, an increase or decrease in the global ambient temperature will impact the performance and air quality of gasoline engines in particular. therefore, this investigation will discover the hot value of intake air temperatures that effects engine performance. This study tested two Kurdistan-Iraq gasoline kinds at different intake temperatures (25Co, 35Co, 45Co, and 50Co). Experiments utilized a four-stroke spark ignition _engine that operated at various rates of speeds (1300, 1500, 1800, 2000, 2300 and 2500 revolutions per minute) under a half load with a 50% throttle opening. The experimental outcomes were compared with Ricardo Wave software simulations. The Ricardo Wave's theoretical outcomes were in good agreement with the experiment data it showed a near 5% to 10% variance between simulation and practical data. Additionally, utilizing fuels having higher RON increases brake power owing to gasoline's greater hydrogen content and the engine's high octane fuel requirement. Also, lower inlet air temperatures would be denser (more oxygen) and offer a larger mass flow during each piston cycle. Hence, due to those factors, brake power was enhanced by reducing intake temp and raising RON. Generally, the experiment results demonstrated that utilizing higher octane number gasoline under lower intake temperature improved engine performance which demonstrates higher power, torque, and efficiency with lower bsfc compared to utilizing higher intake temperature and lower octane gasoline.","PeriodicalId":227530,"journal":{"name":"Al-Qadisiyah Journal for Engineering Sciences","volume":"410 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116243249","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}

Therefore, an examination of different techniques for the exterior design of tall buildings is required. This study aims to analyses some tall buildings to select the most streamlined design in order to reduce high wind risks. The benchmark used in the current study is a building with a height of 120 m and a triangular cross-section with a side length of 20 m. A square cross-section twisted building design is used as a modified model in tall buildings of about 120 m. The rotation angle of the building is 45° for each twisted path. Six configurations of this type of building are tested with different radiuses of fillet on their edges, which are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 m respectively. All geometries of the buildings are created by SolidWorks, while mesh and simulations are achieved using ANSYS Fluent. Great agreement is obtained between the current results and the previous related study for the benchmark. Using twisted buildings with a fillet of 5 m can lead to a reduction of the drag coefficient of about 27.5% relative to the benchmark. Wind in a horizontal direction can be reduced by using twisted geometry. But in terms of separation, using a fillet with a large radius can lead to avoid early separation of air.","PeriodicalId":227530,"journal":{"name":"Al-Qadisiyah Journal for Engineering Sciences","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122414780","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}
