Abstract The contribution of this thesis is to improve the understanding of acoustic dynamics in the audio duct with Helmholtz Resonator (HR). In this project, detail measurements of acoustic in a duct with HR induced loud–speaker at various frequencies have been carried out experimentally. Two-microphone technique have been used to measure the net acoustic power transmission in the duct downstream of HR along with the net acoustic power transmission in the duct without the HR. The acoustic wave signals are traveling in the duct as a plane wave, these waves are generated by a signal generator system with a know wave (sine wave). One of the microphone is located just before the neck–duct interface and the other microphone after the HR in the duct. Five type of necks ( perforated neck length 15cm, perforated neck length 10cm, cone–shape neck, Non- perforated neck length 15cm, Non-perforated neck length 10cm ) and three different material of the bottom wall of the cavity ( Teflon, water and cotton ) have been studied. The best results has a good advantage that by using (perforated neck length 15 cm and 4cm diameter because that reduction of noise has been reached 64% percentage and that value is the highest reduction from all experimenting.

This paper is concerned with calculating boiler efficiency as one of the most important types of performance measurements in any steam power plant. That has a key role in determining the overall effectiveness of the whole system within the power station. For this calculation, a Visual-Basic program was developed, and a steam power plant known as El-Khmus power plant, Libya was selected as a case study. The calculation of the boiler efficiency was applied by using heating balance method. The findings showed how the maximum heat energy which produced from the boiler increases the boiler efficiency through increasing the temperature of the feed water, and decreasing the exhaust temperature along with humidity levels of the of fuel used within the boiler. arabic 15 English 78

تتناول هذه الدراسة إمكانية استخدام الأرض كوسيط تبريد لمبادل حراري في نظم تكييف بالمباني بديلا عن الهواء الجوي، وحيث أن تقييم الخواص الحرارية للأرض هامة جداً لمعرفة مدى نجاح هذا النظام فقد أجريت تجربة عملية للتحقق من ذلك. ومن اجل إنجاز هذه التجربة ثم دفن أنبوب عمودي في باطن الأرض ليتدفق من خلاله الماء عبر دائرة مغلقة، وتم تزويد المياه بكمية ثابته من الحرارة مناظرة للحرارة التي يفقدها المبادل الحراري في نظام التبريد الهوائي. غير أن الهدف من هذا الاختبار دراسة التغير في درجة حرارة المياه الداخلة والخارجة من الأنبوب المدفون في باطن الأرض أثناء تزويد المياه بالحرارة خلال فترة زمنيه، وهذا الاختبار يسمي باختبار الاستجابة الحرارية للأرض.لقد أوضحت النتائج المتحصل عليها أن درجة حرارة خروج المياه من الارض تكاد تكون ثابتة بعد فترة زمنية قصيرة من زمن الاختبار،وأن درجة حرارة المياه هذه ملائمة كوسيط تبريد لمبادل حراري في نظام تكييف المباني. كما أن ثبوت درجة الحرارة هذا يساعد في الحصول على حمل تبريد مستقر، وهو ما لا يتوفر عند استخدام الهواء الخارجي كوسيط للتبريد باعتبارهذا ذا درجة حرارة متغيره، وتم الاستفادة من هذا الاختبار في تقييم الخواص الحرارية للارض، وإن هذه الدراسة قد بينت أن الموقع الجغرافي الذي تم اختباره تميز بكفاءة عالية، ومشيرا لإمكانية استخدام هذا النظام في تكييف المباني. Abstract This study is investigating the use of ground as cooling medium in a heat exchanger system for air conditioning of buildings as a replacement to the ambient air. However, evaluating the ground properties is very important to known the range of success of this system. An experimental setup is conducted to realize the above. In order to perform this experiment, a pipe is buried into the ground where the water is flowing in a closed circuit. A constant quantity of heat power is supplied to the water equivalent to the rejected heat from the heat exchanger in the air heat pump system. However, the objective of this experiment is to study the change in the inlet and the outlet water flow temperature from the buried pipe in the ground, during the heat injection to the water for a specific time. This test is called the thermal response test of the ground.The test results are clearly indicating that the outlet water from the ground has a constant temperature after a short duration from the test period. This water temperature is convenient as a heat carrier for air conditioning of buildings. This constant water temperature is also assisting in obtaining a constant cooling load. This can not obtained in using the out side air as a cooling carrier where the air is of a changing temperature. This study is indicating that the test site has a high efficiency, and this system can be used for air conditioning of buildings.
