The study focused on the treatment of real oilfield produced water from the East Baghdad field affiliated to the Midland Oil Company (Iraq) using an oil skimming process followed by a coagulation/flocculation process for zero liquid discharge system applications. Belt type oil skimmer was utilized for evaluating the process efficiency with various operating conditions such as temperature (17-40 °C) and time (0.5-2.5 hr.). Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) coagulant and polyacrylamide (PAM) flocculant was used to investigate the performance of the coagulation/flocculation process with PAC dosage (5-90 ppm) and pH (5-10) as operating conditions. In the skimming process, the oil content, COD, turbidity, and TSS decreased with an increase in tempera
... Show MoreThis research studies the effect regarding two plasma types, plasma jet and plasma-activated water (PAW), on tooth root canal bacteria Enterococcus faecalis. The plasma jet works with argon gas, and it is generated by a power supply that operates at alternating high voltages in the form of a sinusoidal wave with peak-to-peak value of about 12 kV at a frequency of 30 KHz and its power is about 200 watts. This plasma was utilized directly to treat the tooth canal and indirectly by activating the water that was used later for treating the Enterococcus faecalis bacteria that are present in the tooth root. Pure distilled water was treated by plasma jet for one hour at flow rate 1 . Plasma water activated by plasma contains

... Show MoreThe goal of this work is to study plasma parameters for Fe plasma generated by exploding wire (EEW) in carbon nanotubes-water colloid with three current values (50, 100 and 150)A. In this research, the plasma electron temperature (Te), the electron density (ne), electron density (ne), plasma frequency(f p), Debye length (λD) and Debye number (ND) were found for Fe produced by Arc discharge plasma. Boltzmann plot was used to calculate the plasma electron temperature (Te);electron density (ne) was calculated from Stark broadening. It was found that the electron temperature values increased from (0.4
... Show MoreWe have designed, fabricated and studied the vertical axis wind turbine and its characterization. The system has been locally designed to pump water. It is considered as a one of the best options for low speed wind. The turbine has eight blades , each blade is 1.8m in length, and the area dimension of the turbine 3.6 m2 . were investigated the best characterization of the system at low wind speed are Power turbine depends on the wind speed. It was 280 Watt at 6m/s and 160 watt at 5m/s , and the power after the turbine decreasing to factor 1/3. The system torque was 20 N.m , Power coefficient cap 0.29 , Tip speed ratio 0.46. It is suitable to be used in Iraq region , and low cost for get the wat
