Abstract Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) pipes, are widely used in many of industrial applications, such as oil industries and petrochemicals plants to transport a wide range of different liquids like fresh water, sea water, lubricant oils, acids and caustic etc. This related to their lightness, corrosion resistance, strength durability, high tensile strength, low density, and ease of installation, so that selected as better than traditional metal pipes in such applications. But the internal surfaces of these pipes can be exposed to slurry erosion due to the impact of sand particles mixed with fluids at high velocity leads to create, catastrophic failure, which limits the useful life of pipes and their efficiency. Therefore the erosion is a critical parameter for design, selection and operation of hydraulic transportation system. This thesis has studied experimentally the Slurry erosion wear behavior of GRP pips at various parameters such as impact angles, and velocity of particles. Jet type erosion tester was used as rig and sand used as solid particle mixture with water. The results clearly indicated that the factors contribute to wear of Pipes. The erosion rate or weight loss increased as time, and velocity of solid particles increased, the effect of impact angles shifts from ductile behavior to brittle behavior depending on the value of erosion efficiency. The comparison between predicted and experimental results shows agreement within ±7% for Epoxy and ±8% for Polyester.

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 presents valuable potential savings from fuel and financial expenses of a steam boiler being studied at Elkhmus power plant, Libya. For this research, a visual basic program was developed and being applied for analyzing the gathered data. Key findings pointed to an acceptable level of savings throughout the entire operations within the studied section of the power plant. The highest level of findings was found to be the increasing of thermal gain along with the total efficiency of the boiler as a result of using the exhaust temperature for heating-up the feed water to the boiler. It was clearly found that the increase of the total efficiency has a direct impact on saving the amount of consumed fuel, and thereby the financial expenses were saved by an average of about 11.6% arabic 16 English 78
