Published: November 2020

AbstractFreshwater resources were suffered from the pollution problems that resulted from pollutants of industries such as dyes and colourants. This study utilised a natural adsorbent, kaolin clay to remove pollutants’ dye (Methylene Blue) from aqueous solutions. Batch studies were conducted to evaluate the adsorption efficiency for dye removal from aqueous solution under varying conditions such as initial pH (pH), contact time, initial dye concentration on adsorption of dye. The optimum pH was found to be 6. The investigations in this study showed that 83% of dye removal can be achieved at the first 50thmin. Meanwhile, 60 min was enough to reach the equilibrium state. Additionally, the results revealed that 100 mg/l of kaolin can lead to increase the 83 mg/g of adsorbed dye amount. The maximum removal was 89 % when the quantity of kaolin dosage increased to be 1.5 g. To sum up it, using kaolin as adsorbent material showed high efficiency to remove the dye which can be another addition for serious water pollution treatment efforts.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
A 3-dimensional numerical analysis is performed to study the thermal performance in three new designs of the corrugated plate-fin subjected to impinging airflow for Reynolds number range from 1600 to 7700. The three designs of pate-fin heat sink include a triangular (TRI-PFHS), a rectangular (REC-PFHS), and a semi-circular (SCR-PFHS). A comparative evaluation has been performed on the thermal performance of the suggested designs with the traditional type (T-PFHS). The results revealed that the thermal performance of new designs is higher than that of the traditional heat sink. The new designs of corrugated plate-fin heat sink have proved the ability to improve heat transfer due to the larger area offered by corrugation and high flow disruptions caused by the presence of a semi-confined channel. The performance of the new designs is assessed in terms of Nusselt number, pressure drop, and performance factor. The overall performance factor (Pf) for SCR-PFHS is predominant over all other designs which achieved a highest value of 1.76 at Re=7700.

Abstract
Grout is a substance with a cement which is characterized by a high strength and it is a high workability, so it can be injected in places of small cracks or places of water leakage. Generally, it is used to repair cracks or defects of concrete, also it can be used to fill the voids under the metal bases or digging anchors. Moreover, grout is used efficiently in the process of production the semi-flexible pavement mixtures. The purpose of this study is to design a sustainable grout using waste and by-products materials, to end as flowable grout for semiflexible pavement mixtures. The mixture of the grout was prepared using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), silica fume (SF), paper sludge ash (PSA), superplasticizer (SP), and water. Different proportions of mentioned materials were used to characterizing the developed grout through flowability, compressive strength, and flexural strength tests. Results showed that the flow time increases with increase in the surface area of cementitious materials. Also, the compression strength of the grouts comprised OPC+PSA, revels that there is an optimal dosage: i.e., 15% PSA. Whereas SF generally leads to increase the compression strength. On other side, flexural strength test confirmed the upgrading of developed grouts. As a conclusion, a sustainable grout can be produced with acceptable characteristics when grout constitutes are optimized.
