Abstract The contribution of this thesis is to improve the understanding of acoustic dynamics in the audio duct with Helmholtz Resonator (HR). In this project, detail measurements of acoustic in a duct with HR induced loud–speaker at various frequencies have been carried out experimentally. Two-microphone technique have been used to measure the net acoustic power transmission in the duct downstream of HR along with the net acoustic power transmission in the duct without the HR. The acoustic wave signals are traveling in the duct as a plane wave, these waves are generated by a signal generator system with a know wave (sine wave). One of the microphone is located just before the neck–duct interface and the other microphone after the HR in the duct. Five type of necks ( perforated neck length 15cm, perforated neck length 10cm, cone–shape neck, Non- perforated neck length 15cm, Non-perforated neck length 10cm ) and three different material of the bottom wall of the cavity ( Teflon, water and cotton ) have been studied. The best results has a good advantage that by using (perforated neck length 15 cm and 4cm diameter because that reduction of noise has been reached 64% percentage and that value is the highest reduction from all experimenting.

This paper is concerned with calculating boiler efficiency as one of the most important types of performance measurements in any steam power plant. That has a key role in determining the overall effectiveness of the whole system within the power station. For this calculation, a Visual-Basic program was developed, and a steam power plant known as El-Khmus power plant, Libya was selected as a case study. The calculation of the boiler efficiency was applied by using heating balance method. The findings showed how the maximum heat energy which produced from the boiler increases the boiler efficiency through increasing the temperature of the feed water, and decreasing the exhaust temperature along with humidity levels of the of fuel used within the boiler. arabic 15 English 78

Abstract This Thesis overviews the methods for calculating the stress intensity factor and employs the stress and displacement methods in the current study. The model used simulates a cracked rectangular plate which is subjected to tensile stress. The Finite element method is used to calculate inplane displacement due to applied loads. As a post processing the stress and stress intensity factor over the plate was calculated. The results show that the singularity exists at the crack tip and the components of stress and approach infinity as the crack tip approach. The comparison of the current study to theoretical and other numerical results shows a good agreement and reliability of the program. The thesis consists of five chapters, the first chapter, presents general over view and historical al review. The second chapter demonstrates the theoretical basis in fracture mechanics. The third chapter involves the numerical solution using F.E.M. The fourth chapter demonstrates a case study and the results and discussion of the obtained results. The fifth chapter concludes the work and gives recommendations.
