Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering, University of Tripoli, was established in 1961 in the name of the “Faculty of Higher Technical Studies” within the program of scientific and technical cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO. Thus, this makes it the first engineering college in Libya. In 1967, it was included to the University of Libya under the name of the Faculty of Engineering. In 1972, the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering established. However, it then was then included to the Faculty of Engineering, and elements from the Faculty of Science, University of Tripoli in 1973. In 1978, the Faculty of Nuclear and Electronic Engineering was created. In 1985 the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering was merged with the Faculty of Engineering within the framework of linking the colleges and higher institutes with engineering research centers. The Faculty of Nuclear and Electronic Engineering was then added to the Faculty of Engineering in 1988.

 

The Faculty of Engineering has a pioneering role in the scientific career, its role is increasing significantly in line with the technical development, especially in the fields of communication and informatics engineering. In addition, it also following new developments with their applications in the engineering sector, along with permanent and renewable energy, modern methods of construction and architecture and their environmental impacts. In response to this development, the Faculty of Engineering undertook changes in its educational curricula and academic structure by growing from a faculty with four departments since its inception to become a group of thirteen departments in order to meet the desires and requirements of the Libyan society and to achieve its goals and aspirations for progress. Accordingly, the study system in the Faculty has evolved from the academic year system to term-based system.

 

The expansion of the academic fields in the Faculty undoubtedly requires expansions in the facilities that accommodate the increasing numbers of students which have reached twelve thousand in recent years. This development will include halls, laboratories and other advanced capabilities and equipment, including computers and research measuring devices.

 

The Faculties consists of the following departments: Department of Civil Engineering - Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering - Department of Computer Engineering - Department of Architecture and Urban Planning - Department of Petroleum Engineering - Department of Chemical Engineering - Department of Geological Engineering - Department of Mining Engineering - Department of Aeronautical Engineering - Department of Naval Engineering and Ship Architecture - Department of Nuclear Engineering - Department of Materials and Mineral Engineering - Department of Engineering Management "Postgraduate studies".

 

These departments carry out their specialized scientific tasks in accordance with the relevant laws, regulations and decisions, which include in their entirety:

 

-          Academic supervision of students in terms of registration, teaching and evaluation.

-          Follow-up of research, authoring and translation programs.

Toward the Future of Fabric Formwork

Since its invention by the Romans, concrete has been cast into all manner of formworks. Whether temporary or permanent, however, rigid formwork has been the traditional standard. Because concrete is the most widely used construction material, improvements in the economy of erecting concrete structures will have significant implications. One of the best opportunities for cost reduction is minimizing formwork costs—expenses that can represent about half the total cost of a concrete structure.1,2 Fabric formwork is a potential solution toward this goal. As a compounding benefit, fabric formwork can also enable the casting of structurally efficient, variable section building components.3 Taking advantage of fabric forms, however, is a joint task of concrete technology specialists, structural engineers, and architects. Fabric structures exhibit material and geometric nonlinearities when loaded, so forms must be designed based on experimentation or structural analysis using software capable of shape-finding.4,5 Education and research must focus on this barrier before the full potential of this formwork type can be realized. arabic 5 English 31

Study of the relationship between the nature of wells water in Libyan southwestern zone and the occurrence of corrosion in the transferring metal pipelines

في الصحراء الليبية الواقعة في منطقة الجنوب الغربي يتم نقل المياه الجوفية من مواقع الآبار إلى مناطق إستغلالها لغرض الشرب وللأغراض الزراعية والصناعية. خطوط الأنابيب المعدنية هي الأكثر إستعمالاً لنقل تلك المياه. أغلب هذه الأنابيب تعرضت مع الزمن لحالات متفاوتة من التآكل الداخلي مما سبب خسائر إقتصادية وفاقد بكميات المياه المنقولة. بعض هذه الأنابيب تدهورت حالتها وتم إستبدالها بأنابيب أخرى بنفس النوعبة. ولما كان السبب الرئيسي لحصول التآكل الداخلي في الأنابيب وتدهور حالتها هو نوعية المياه الجوفية التي تجري فيها، وبما أن الأنابيب الجديدة ستقوم بنقل نفس النوعية من المياه فإن تلك الأنابيب مع الزمن ستتعرض أيضاً للتآكل وتتكرر الخسائر الإقتصادية والفقد بكميات المياه التي ستتسرب خارج الأنبوب. ولغرض التمكن من معالجة المشكلة وتجنب إستمرار حصول مثل هذه الخسائر الإقتصادية والفاقد بكميات المياه المنقولة ، لذا يجب التحري ومعرفة الأسباب الأساسية لذلك تم في هذه الدراسة التحري موقعياً عن العوامل الأساسية للمياه الجوفية الموجودة في منطقة الجنوب الغربي من ليبيا التي تسبب حصول مثل هذا التآكل في الأنابيب المعدنية. وفى هذه الدراسة تم تجميع عينات للمياه الجوفية من مجموعة منتخبة من آبار الضخ المنتشرة في أجزاء منطقة الدراسة وهي سبها ومرزق وغات ووادي الشاطئ ونقلها للمختبرات في طرابلس وإجراء التحليلات الكيميائية لها ومعرفة نوعية وتركيز المكونات الكيميائية لكل عينة. حيث أظهرت نتائج التحاليل وجود نسبة عالية من الغازات الذائبة فى المياه الجوفية وهى الأكسجين الذائب وثانى أكسيد الكربون الذائب وهى السبب الرئيسى فى زيادة نسبة التآكل فى الأنابيب المعدنية، إقترحت الحلول المناسبة لحماية مثل هذه الأنابيب من التآكل الداخلي والسيطرة عليه وبذلك سيتم التمكن من تلافي حصول الخسائر المائية والاقتصادية في منطقة الدراسة. Abstract In the south western of Libya, groundwater is transported by metallic pipes from wells to the consumers for drinking, domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes. Some of the used pipes have been corroded internally; consequently quality of the transported water was contaminated, this situation caused health and economical effects to residences, also losses in water by leakage through pipes. The goal of this study is to study the factors that might cause such problem. The area of study is located in south western part of Libya (Murzuq basin). Chemical properties of samples from 45 wells were collected and analyzed.Results showed higher concentrations of O2 and CO2, normal values pH, and traces of H2S. The internal corrosion of the metallic water pipelines in the district was related to the effects of high levels of O2 and CO2. The study recommended treating the excess of the CO2 and O2 before its use and using pipes types that resist the corrosion from the water.

Influence of Design Tip Speed Ratio and Rated Wind Speed on Energy Yield of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

Abstract Wind turbines are the means of converting wind energy into electrical energy. It is not unexpected that certain brands of horizontal wind turbines are optimally designed for certain wind speed regimes prevailing at certain sites. It has been the objective of this study to find out whether it is possible to design a wind turbine that is more suitable for a site of lower annual mean wind speed such as the western coast of Libya. In achieving this objective, use was made of a typical wind turbine aerodynamic design and performance analysis procedure together with actual wind speed data recorded at the city of Misurata.Based on the annual wind energy yield obtained from different designs of wind turbines having different rated wind speeds and different blade design tip speed ratios, this study indicates that the decrease of the rated wind speed leads to a continuous increase of annual energy yield as well as an increase of the cost of the wind turbine. Therefore the optimum value of rated wind speed for this site may only be determined as a compromise between added wind energy yield and added cost. Moreover, for any given rated wind speed this study indicates that a blade design tip speed ratio equal to six seems to be the optimum value for the given site.
