Within the scientific and cultural activities for the first semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering Department for the academic year 2017-2018, Prof. assist Dr .Zainab Yousif Shanen presents a seminar on " Solid –polymer –surfactant complexes for enhancing the flow in pipe lines"
On Al Khwarizmi Hall in the department at the presence of the Head of Chemical Engineering Department. Jamal Al-Rubaie and the Scientific Assistant Dr. Khaled Ajami and the administrative Prof. assist Dr.Walaa Abd-Hade Nuri and number of heads of branches, faculty and students. Prof. assist Dr.Zainab explained that the transfer of crude oil or oil derivatives through pipelines for long distances leads to a significant loss of pumping capacity due to resistance to friction inside the tube and the dissipation of pumping capacity in the troubled flow, so it was proposed a modern technology to increase pumping rates through pipelines conveying additives with nanoparticles called" the effect of these additives" on increasing flow rates is of great economic benefit, as it eliminates the need for additional pumping stations or expansion of the conveying pipe network to accommodate the increase in flow rate.
