As a study case, Tehran- Karaj highway was selected for studying environmental lead pollution in pine tree needles (plants indicators). Samples were collected from seven stations and five distances (0, 10, 20, 50, 100 meter). The results showed that transport has a direct effect on lead pollution in trees. The differences in lead concentrations were significant for both stations and distances. The average lead concentration was 11.34 mg/Kg in the station close to Tehran, and 3.8 mg/Kg in the closest station to Karaj. This is because heavier transfer and higher density of cars in Tehran compared to Karaj. The average Pb concentrations in the stations besides the highway was 8.77 mg/Kg and decreased to 6.57 mg/kg in stations located in 100 meter away from the highway. While the average Pb concentration in station E was 1.53 mg/Kg, it was decreased constantly in all distances, due to tree coverage. A conclusion, the analytical method of roads environmental impact assessment can be used effectively for monitoring Pb pollution. The pollution can be decreased by using pine trees and emphasis on using windbreakers.

This congestion led to form the conflicting movements at intersections, merging, roundabouts, etc. The objective of this study is to investigate the traffic congestion problem at the two selected roundabouts at CBD area in Hilla city. Roundabouts consider safer than the conventional intersections, but it has less capacity than corresponding intersections. In Iraq, several roundabouts were built in the last decade to improve the traffic performance. However, most of these roundabouts are unable to accommodate the rapid growth in traffic volumes and suffer from a serious issue in congestion. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate these roundabouts. The VISSIM simulation software has been used to perform the evaluation analysis for these selected roundabouts. Then, field data have been collected by using two video cameras that installed by using a fabricated equipment. The process of collecting data has lasted for 8 hours at each roundabout. And then, this field data has been used to calibrate the simulation model (VISSIM). After making the required calibration and validation for the simulation model, the developed model was depended to perform the evaluation and find the suitable solution to solve the traffic congestion at these roundabouts.","PeriodicalId":311103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University of Babylon for Engineering Sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121942070","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}

Pipe specimens were having 100mm inner diameter, 450 mm length of curvature center line of curve pipe with (43 degree) and two wall thickness are 4 and 3 mm. The test rig was designed and performed to study the effect of internal pressure and bending moment on the composite pipes. Also, the tensile test of the samples was done. The analytical expression solution has been accomplished to determine the strain, stress, for hoop and longitudinal direction. It is evident that the hoop stress for woven roving fiber composite pipe was more than longitudinal stress by almost (14%). The maximum internal pressure in the case of internal pressure only was more than compared to the combined internal pressure with bending moment by almost (115%).

Nano fuels are prepared by adding Al2O3 or TiO2, both with particle size less than 45nm of diesel fuel. Four doses of each type namely (25, 50, 100 and 150) ppm are prepared. These nanoparticles are blended with diesel fuel in varying volume fraction by the means of an electric mixer and an ultrasonicator. The Nano fuels are (DF+Al2O3) and (DF+TiO2). Physicochemical properties of nano fuels are measured and compared with these of neat diesel. The study shows that the addition of nanoparticles to diesel fuel improves its physical properties such as cetane number, thermal conductivity and viscosity. The influence of nanoparticles addition is very clear on the engine performance. The results show that the performance parameters are improved for example, brake thermal efficiency is increased from 19.4% for diesel to 21% and 25% for DF+Al2O3 and DF+TiO2 respectively, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is decreased by 8% and 20% for DF+Al2O3 and DF+TiO2 respectively, the brake specific energy consumption (BSFC) is decreased by 8% and 20% for DF+Al2O3 and DF+TiO2 respectively at 25ppm and 75% load. The exhaust gas temperature is 382°C for pure diesel while it is 417°C for DF+Al2O3 and 353°C for DF+TiO2.
