Influence Of Meteorological Parameters On Air Quality And Other Pollutants In Duhok City, Iraq .
the Iraqi Journal of Agricultural Sciences, (القضية : 4) (الحجم : 51)
This study was aimed to investigated the relationship between the daily average of meteorological parameters (MP), and the daily average (DA) of air pollutant concentrations (PC) (including particulate matter (PM)). In this study, the DA of air PC, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and sulphur dioxide (SO 2), was measured during heavy traffic in the summer season for five different locations throughout 2017, and comparison made with results similarly obtained in 2012. The particulate matter sample has been collected for the same period. The daily average meteorological parameters (MP) such as temperature (T), atmospheric pressure (AP), wind direction (WD), wind speed (WS) and relative humidity (RH) were measured and collected from the Directorate of Meteorology and Seismology Instrument at DC during the same period. The microstructure and morphology of the particles have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and reflected light microscopy (RLM). The chemical composition of the particles has been studied using energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The EDX analysis shows that silicon and calcium were found to be the most abundant elements in the dust particles. Mineralogical characterization was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and results of which indicate the presence of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3).

Effect of Annealing Temperature on Efficiency of Perovskite Solar Cell
Journal of Applied Science and Technology Trends (القضية : 3) (الحجم : 1)
In this work, a simple method for producing Perovskite solar cells [PSCs] by recycling automobile batteries is used. Trying to get rid of some structures or materials which are harm to the environment (ie recycled car batteries) by using lead [Pb] sheets from those battery. Also, by reusing car batteries we will avoid the disposal of toxic battery elements and provide an alternative technique, readily-available Pb source for fabricating PSCs. Perovskite solar cells [PSCs] were prepared by two-step spin coating solution method grown on the FTO glass substrate. The organo-halide PSCs consists of four layers over FTO glass substrate. Lead iodide (PbI2) and methyl-ammonium iodide (CH3NH3I) used to form the structure of the precursor (CH3NH3PbI3) by the above-mentioned coating method. The photovoltaic performance of PSCs was investigated, together with the stability of PSCs, and the effect of annealing temperature of PRK layer on performance of PSCs. Characterization of PSCs achieved by using X-ray diffraction, SEM, and Spectrophotometer techniques. The effect of annealing on the optical properties of MAPbI3 films were studied by measuring spectral transmittance. The energy band gap value of the MAPbI3 film was found to be 1.60 eV.

Preliminary assessment of heavy metal in selected sites within Duhok city, Iraq
American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS) (القضية : 2) (الحجم : 26)
Environmental pollution is an emerging issues in the developed and developing countries. Rapid urbanization and industrialization is directly involved with the pollution of heavy metal in roadside dust. Heavy metals present in roadside dust are of interest due to their deleterious impacts on both human and ecosystem health. This study attempts to investigate the pollution by heavy metal in roadside dust at Duhok city, Iraq. Five locations were selected based on the traffic density on the roads and different anthropogenic activity. To assess the pollution of heavy metal in roadside dust samples were collected under stable weather conditions during dry season, and analyzed for Zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Nicle (Ni), Cobalt (Co) and Cadmium (Cd) concentrations. The range of Zn and Pb was concentration varied from 90.6 to 559.2 mg/kg and from 25.1 to 169.1 mg/kg in the roadside dust respectively, with a higher mean value observed in the industrial area. The results indicate that roadside dust is moderately contaminated with respect to Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd, and Co. High contents of these elements could be attributed to anthropogenic effects related to traffic sources. Also, the results of this study were compared with several cities around the world.

Investigation of microstructure of molybdenum—copper black electrodeposited coatings with reference to solar selectivity
Journal of materials science (القضية : 1) (الحجم : 31)
Optical and microstructural properties of electrodeposited molybdenum-copper (Mo-Cu) black coatings have been studied with reference to their selectivity in absorption of solar radiation. Such coatings were found to have a solar absorptance, α, about 0.87 and low thermal emittance, ɛ, such that the selectivity, α/ɛ, was 3.6. Electrodeposited molybdenum-black coatings generally have selectivity α/ɛ∼3. The oxidation state of molybdenum in (Mo-Cu) black coatings as determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is about + 5 (which is fairly close to that of Mo4O11). Large numbers of irregular particles were found on the surface of molybdenum-copper black coatings. There is evidence that the particles contain copper oxide

Modification of the electro-deposition method of molybdenum-black coatings for solar energy applications”. .
Metal Finishing, (القضية : 6) (الحجم : 93)
Addition of CuSO4 to the molybdenum black plating bath gave a selectivity factor value α/ε of 3.6, when α = 0.87. It was observed that the properties of these coatings depend on the deposition conditions and bath composition. Coatings of higher selectivity factor (α/ε = 5, when α = 0.87) could be obtained by using an intermediate layer of bright nickel instead of dull nickel. The microstructure of the electrodeposited coatings consists of relatively flat, smooth, irregular platelets with prominent fissures. The coatings have irregularly shaped particles on the surface and consist mainly of molybdenum oxide

Investigation of the Effect of Annealing Temperature of Perovskite Layer on Performance of Perovskite Solar Cells
World Renewable Energy Congress – 2021, Lisbon, Portugal
The world energy demand is continuously increasing. Due to environment issues, global warming, and other issues, there is a need for clean sources of energy, sustainable energy, i.e. renewable energy technologies. Photovoltaic (PV) technology employing solar energy is regarded as rather most promising and efficient technology among all the renewable energy industries. The further improvement in the efficiency and reliability and also reduction in cost are in great demand, for the healthy development of global economy. Among the third generation solar cells, perovskite cells have attracted a lot of attention due to their high efficiency and low cost construction methods. In this research, low-cost perovskite solar cell (PSC) was prepared, and its photovoltaic performance was investigated. In this project, we tried to get rid of some structures or materials which are harm to the environment. i.e. car batteries. By using lead sheets (from recycled car battery). However, by reusing car batteries we will avoid the disposal of toxic battery materials and provide an alternative, readily-available lead source for fabricating PSC. Perovskite solar cell was prepared by two-steps spin coating solution technique on glass substrates at various thermal annealing deposition temperature.

Using Artificial Neural Networks to Predict Solar Radiation for Duhok City, Iraq.
International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSASE).. Publisher: IEEE
The amount of solar radiation received at the Earth's surface is influenced by local weather conditions. This paper investigates the effects of meteorological parameters on daily average solar radiation (DASR) in Duhok city, Iraq. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) based on multilayer preceptor feed-forward (MLP-FF) techniques are used to predict daily average solar radiation (DASR). The input variables used are a daily average of the relative humidity (RH), minimum temperature (T min ), maximum temperature (T max ), wind speed (WS), cloud layer (CL), atmospheric pressure (AP) and ultraviolet (UV) levels to estimate DASR. To identify and evaluate the effects of various input parameters on solar radiation, eight ANN-based models have been developed. To obtain the best estimation results, the number of neurons in the hidden layer has been varied. The best values of the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and correlation coefficient (R) have been calculated. For some models, the results obtained show good and better predictive accuracy than others. The present study indicates that various of the meteorological parameters can have a significant effect on the forecasting of solar radiation

Characterization of Black Nickel Solar Absorber Coatings on Brass Substrates
2018 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE),Duhok, Iraq
Solar Selective coatings have radiative characteristics which vary with wavelength. They are characterized by their high absorbance (α) in the visible region and low thermal emittance (ε) (or high reflection) beyond the visible region of the sun spectra. These coatings materials are of very great importance in the field of renewable energy sources (solar energy applications). In the present study, the influence of process parameters like the current density, concentration of particles, time of deposition, the thickness of the electrodeposited nickel (Ni), etc. was investigated. The objective of the research is to study solar selective coatings used in solar thermal collectors. i.e. black nickel (B-N) coatings, electrodeposited (ED) over brass substrates. Preparation and characterization of B-N coatings over brass substrates was performed. Low-cost solar selective absorbers (ED of B-N on brass) have been obtained.
