Within the activities of scientific and cultural activity for the first semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering for the academic year 2017-2018, the lecturer  Assist. Prof. Dr. Khaled Turki Rashed lecture entitled:

Polyvinyl hexafluoro PP membrane for use in direct contact membrane distillation system

POL (VINYLINDENE FLUORIDE- CO HEXANFLUOROPROYLENE) HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE FOR MEMBRAN DISTILLATION

Al Khwarizmi Hall in the presence of the Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering. Jamal Mouna Ali Al-Rubaie, assistants, branch heads, and a number of my teachers, students and students.

PolyThe polyphenols (fluoride, fluoride, hexaflopropiline), a hollow fiber membrane, was successfully synthesized by means of the phase reflection method. K-30 was used as an additive to form pores to improve morphology, structure and properties of the membrane. For membrane with good properties and be suitable for direct contact membrane distillation applications.

 The morphological properties of all fibers were studied by means of electron microscopy scanning electron microscopy and also atomic force microscopy. Chakki was microvadvasive membrane joint and a slightly reduced contact angle was observed with increased pvp of (0% by weight to 9%). The volume of pores of hollow fiber increased significantly from 0.097 μm to 0.286 μm with addition (0 to 9) by weight. %. In the anesthetic solution, resulting in a marked increase in water flow from 4.2 to 22 kg / m2H at a feeding temperature of 80 ° C. And successfully modify formic acid on the membrane with 5 wt. % Proved from a contact angle that increased from 97.8 degrees to 109.9 degrees, increased fluid intake pressure from 2 to 2.4 bar. The best flow of interference to the membrane is modified with 9-watt. % About 23.9 kg / m 2 Buffer 80 ° C Feeding water feeding temperature. Optimization of operating parameters. Effect of process parameters, such as feeding temperature (40-80) ° C, feed flow rate (0.3-0.6 l / min), as well as feeding and concentration range from 3.5wt% to 5.0 wt. %.

The Department of Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Technology has set up a PBL-based learning method for students of the fourth phase of the Energy Engineering and Renewable Energies Branch in the field of Energy Efficiency by Assist. Prof. Dr. Jalal Mohammed Jalil.

The subject of the lecture was the isolation of hot pipes to conserve energy. More than one insulator was tested to obtain the required thickness to compensate the cost of the insulation after three years. This method is used to obtain the students' outputs and to apply the criteria for ABET's reliability.

The Chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Technology, Assist. Prof. Dr. Dari Yousif Mahmoud Tolba, met the first new students admitted to the Department for the 2017-2018 academic year for the morning study in the presence of the meeting of the administrative assistant of the department. Assist. Prof. Dr Kanaan Ali and the Head of the Educational Guidance Unit Assist. Prof. Dr. Sandas Damad and the Director of the Registration Division. At the beginning of the meeting, he welcomed them and wished them a successful academic life to be true students and builders capable of assuming the responsibility entrusted to them to serve our dear country. Which represents the stage of building and character formation, in which the character of the student is refined in accordance with the nature of the engineering study.

The students were briefed on the set of laws, regulations and university instructions concerning the discipline of students and uniform, the relationship of the student with the educational institution in which he is studying, his colleagues and his teachers, as well as the distribution of a profile containing the profile of the department, vision, mission and objectives of the epartment.

Assist. Prof. Dr.Salim Khalifa Kadhim of the Department of Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Technology published a research paper with a group of researchers in a global journal with an impact factor (IF = 0.767) under the ISI classification entitled:

"computational fluid dynamics simulation of blood flow profile and shear stresses in bileaflet mechanical heart valve by using monolithic approach"

The goal of the search for the use of industrial mechanical heart valves (BMHV) is widely used to replace diseased heart valves. However, patients may suffer from transplant complications, such as plaque buildup and damage to blood cells that can lead to failure with a stroke. These complications are related to blood flow patterns In BMHV.

The researcher developed a dynamic three-dimensional mathematical fluid (CFD) model for the investigation of hemodynamic hydrodynamics and shear stress at different heart cycles. The UDF was developed for the LED flyer model, and UDF updates the tetrahedral network according to the valve site, Enable complex mobile engineering modeling and achieve convergence solution with ease without having to adjust the values ​​of the relaxation factor.

The agreement between the experimental and numerical results indicates that the developed model can be used with confidence to simulate movement of the microscope and blood flow. Furthermore, the valve flyer and the valve axle are constantly exposed to shear stress higher than 52.3 pascal according to the results of previous research may cause damage to the platelets.
