Performance Assessment of a Solar-Powered Absorption System in Libya

Abstract During the last years there has been an increasing consciousness of the environmental problems, created by the use of fossil fuels in electrical power generation consumed by converting cooling systems. In addition, the use of common working fluids (refrigerants), with their ozonedepleting and global warming potential, has become a serious environmental problem. This underlines the need to implement advanced, new concepts in building air-conditioning. The most common global type of thermally driven technology to produce chilled water is absorption cooling. For air-conditioning applications, absorption systems commonly use the water/lithium bromide or ammonia/water as working pair of fluids. The objective of this study is to establish a fundamental basis for further research and development within the field of solar cooling. In this study, an overview of possible systems for solar powered refrigeration and airconditioning systems will be presented. The concept of the ‘Solar Cooling Path’ is introduced, including a discussion of the energy source to the collector. Brief information and comparisons of different absorption refrigeration cycles are also presented. A solar-driven absorption refrigeration system has been selected as a case study for a further detailed investigation. A low temperature heat source can be used to drive the absorption refrigeration cycle, making the system suitable for integration with solar thermal collector. The Transient System Simulation program (TRNSYS) and Engineering Equation Solver (EES) simulation tools are used to model and analyze the performance of a solar-driven absorption refrigeration system. Analysis of the absorption cycle system is initiated by steady-state analysis. A modeling of single effect water/lithium bromide absorption cycle was constructed to study the effect of the operating variable on the system performance and to determine the optimum operating conditions for the absorption cycle. This model was developed by Engineering Equations Solver program (EES). In practice, the ambient conditions and solar radiation are not constant. Therefore, a dynamic analysis is useful for determining the characteristics of the system during the entire year, and dimensioning the important components of the solar collector subsystem, such as storage tanks and collector area. The overall solar absorption cooling system has been simulated by the TRNSYS program with a typical meteorological year file containing the weather parameters for the capital of Libya, Tripoli. Finally, a parametric study was carried out to investigate the influence of key parameters on the overall system performance of solar absorption cooling system and hence to improve and optimize the system design. Results from the parametric optimization indicated that with an area of 130m2 of flat plate collectors with an inclination of 32° and 3.5m3 of storage tank is achieved to cover the demand of air conditioning of a 35kW absorption chiller.

رؤية هندسية لمسببات التأخير في تنفيذ المشاريع الانشائية للحد من تأثيراتها على استمرارية التنفيذ

شهدت مدينة طرابلس الكبرى قفزة نوعية في العديد من التعاقدات لتنفيذ مشاريع تنموية في البنى التحتية والاسكان وما يتطلب من مشاريع مرافقة إلا أنها في الآونة الاخيرة ومع بداية هذا العقد عانت أغلب تلك المشاريع من العديد من المشاكل، مما انعكس سلباً على كافة مراحل التنفيذ، لذلك تم القيام بهذه الدراسة هذه الدراسة للوقوف على أسباب التأخير في تلك المشاريع، وبالتالي العمل على إثراء المكتبة الليبية بالبحوث الميدانية التي تتناول موضوع أسباب التأخير في إكمال المشاريع الإنشائية، ويمكن أن تلفت الدراسة الحالية اهتمام الباحثين إلى معرفة الاسباب والتي أدت إلى التأخير في المشاريع، ودراسة كل سبب من ناحية ظروف حدوثه، وأهم النتائج المؤثرة سلبا على المشروعات، ونسق مساهمتها في التأخير، ومن خلال هذه الدراسة تم التعرف على الأسباب التي أدت للمساهمة في عرقلة تنفيذ المشاريع ببلدية طرابلس الكبرى، لأجل التركيز عليها مستقبلاً بهدف تفادي حدوثها. arabic 177 English 0

Theoretical and Experimental Investigations on the Erosion Phenomenon in Steel Pipes

Abstract Erosion wear is recognized as an engineering problem for slurry handling equipments. It plays an important role in design and operation of slurry transportation systems. The present work reports experimental and theoretical investigations of erosion wear of carbon steel and stainless steel in sandwater mixture. However, carbon steel (AISI-CS1060) and stainless steel (AISI-SS316L). They have been chosen as target materials, and then studied the effect of various parameters that may leads to good understanding to the erosion behavior of ductile materials such as impact angle, particle velocity as well as erosion time on erosion wear. The impingement jet erosion test rig built at our laboratory in order to carry out the experimental results. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is used as erodent particles after it mixed with water for slurry preparation at various impact angles of 15°, 30°, 60° and 90°, the solid concentration range of (10-30) wt%, for sized ranging between of 800µm to1700µm in the velocity range of 5 m/s to 24 m/s, with periodic time of 10 minutes at room temperature. The data points that collected in this work showed that the experimental values are agreement with the ductile erosion behavior for both materials, also showed that the erosion rate increasing linearly with increases in impact velocity and erosion time, also showed scars were characterized by an elliptical shape at 15° and 30° whereas a nearly circular shape was observed at 60° and 90° due to the horizontal component of velocity at shallow angles has value more than the normal component of velocity whereas in contrast at high angles.
