About Senior Design Project (SDP)

Symposuim allow students to test their engineering knowledge in a related field setting prior

to graduation. On each project, three to four students collaborate to design, build, and test a

realistic engineering system under faculty supervision. Each project is completed for a real

task, thereby giving students an opportunity to experience engineering challenges paralleling

those found in the real life learning. While working on the projects, students must consider

safety, economic, environmental, and ethical concerns.

By working on capstone projects the students learn to deal with open-ended questions, and

get a chance to pull together as a group the many things they've learned in classes throughout

their undergraduate degree. Completed senior design projects in a range of disciplines are

showcased each spring at the Engineering Design Expo in the Integrated Teaching and

Learning Laboratory.

Publication Process

After completing the senior design project the students are required to submit abstract in

english as well as in Arabic according to certain format to be publish in the Symposuim

proceeding. The best selected abstract will be completed as a paper and will be publish in

Journal of engineering and computer science.

ABSTRACT

The universal motor is a common motor used in various applications and they

have distinctive characteristics including: having a high starting torque and

rotation at high speeds. The objective of our work in the Senior Design Project

is to design and implement a semiconductor-based converter for controlling the

speed and the direction of the universal motor. This is achieved through using a

power electronic converter, namely; a line bridge incorporating triacs across the

motor field winding. This is useful in controlling both the direction and the speed

at the same time. The speed is governed by controlling the firing angle to reduce

the voltage applied to the motor, and by switching the arms the exciting field

current is switched, which causes reversing of rotation.

Key Words: universal motor, Triac Bridge, Speed control, Direction reversing.

ABSTRACT

Induction motors are being widely used for various applications such as

conveyor systems, blowers, fans, etc. The efficiency of these systems depends

on the performance of induction motor, which in turn depends on the starting

and running performance of induction motor. The three phase induction motor

during the initial starting condition draws up much higher current than its

capacity. This results in a mechanical jerk and thermal stress on the windings

of the motor. Sometimes, the windings may get burnt. To solve this problem,

many solutions have been provided to take over on this high current such as

auto-transformer, star-delta and frequency converter. This project is based on

resolve this problem by giving a smooth start to the induction motor based on

using the SCR (triacs) which is triggered at larger delayed firing angle during

starting, and then gradually reducing the delay till it reaches zero voltage

triggering. This results in low voltage during start and then gradually increase

to full voltage. Thus the motor starts slowly and then slowly picks up to full

speed. The control of starting voltage is done by using micro-controller

(Arduino). Key Words: Qassim University, College of Engineering, Induction

motor, motor current control, SCR triggering.

ABSTRACT

Over the last few decades, enormous changes have been witnessed in power system

structure and therefore, their operational and control problems become very complex and

difficult. Operating a power system in interconnected fashion has aggravated the complexity

further. To provide good quality of electricity to consumers, an effective and reliable control

schemes are required to regulate the system frequency and voltage levels to their nominal

values following the load disturbance in the system. The present SDP aims to design PID

structured controllers to regulate the frequency of a two-area interconnected power system

consisting of reheat thermal turbines in the wake of step load disturbance in the system. As

generation rate constraint(GRC) is generally imposed in real time power system operation on

generators, the effect of GRC on system dynamic performance is incorporated in the study.

From the investigations of the system dynamic plots obtained for step load disturbance in one

of the areas, it is revealed that the designed regulators/controllers are very effective to mitigate

the deviations caused due to disturbance. Moreover, it is shown that incorporation of GRC

has resulted in the deterioration in system dynamic performance..

ABSTRACT

In last few decades, electric power demand is increasing at a very fast pace and the power

industry has witnessed many structural and technological changes. The stability of power

system has become more difficult these days as consumption of electrical power fluctuates

randomly. Due to limited resources of power generation, the transmission lines getting

heavily loaded and facing the various important issues like; stability, voltage sag, and

reactive power. The FACTS technology is essentially proved in tackling these issues and

able to alleviate them efficiently. Flexible alternating – current transmission systems

(FACTs) devices usually install power electronic devices at the appropriate places of the

existing AC systems to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability. In this

project, the various reactive power compensation techniques based on FACTS devices like

thyristor controlled phase shifter (TCPS), static Var compensators (SVC) and Static

Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) are considered for design and implementing the

voltage control schemes in the power system network using Power System Analysis Toolbox

(PSAT) via the link with MATLAB.

ABSTRACT

Growing concern for environmental issues poses significant chance to utilization of

distributed renewable energy resource. The intermittent nature of renewable energy put power

system at risk. Microgrid is introduced as a strategy to integrate renewable energy resource

from various locations with power system. In addition, Battery energy storage (BES) plays an

important role in microgrid operation and control, as it can potentially improve local reliability

and resilience, reduce operation cost, and mitigate challenges caused by high penetration

renewable generation. The main drawback that limits the installation of BES is their high

investment cost. However, to ensure an acceptable economic and technical performance, BES

must be optimally sized in terms of its power rating and energy rating size. In this project, the

concept of microgrid is studied and the applications of BES in microgrid operation are

discussed. Moreover, a BES design model that enables microgrid planners to determine the

optimal size of the installed BES is developed.

ABSTRACT

Over the past several decades, digital information science has emerged to seek answers to the

question: can any technique ensure tamper-resistance and protect the copyright of digital

contents by storing, transmitting and processing information encoded in systems where digital

content can easily be disseminated through communication channels? Today it is understood

that the answer is yes. Digital watermarking is a technology of embedding watermark with

intellectual property rights into images, videos, audios, and other multimedia data by a certain

algorithm. The basic characteristics of digital watermark are imperceptibility, capacity,

robustness, Low Complexity and security of the hiding place. Moreover, the Classification of

digital watermarking applications are Copyright Protection, Fingerprinting, Copy Control,

ABSTRACT

Due to hot weather or parking cars without shades (especially in summers) makes inside

of the car too hot which in turn makes it unbearable and difficult for not only passengers to

sit but also for driver and also for electronics of the car. Therefore, there is a need to develop

a system, which can ventilate the hot air in the car. Consequently, this project will develop a

low cost system to vent the air. The goal of the project is to reduce automobile's temperature

by throwing the hot air outside before the driver or passenger gets into the vehicle. The effect

of the product will be studied and will be analyze to study the engine is not overburdened,

conserving energy, protecting the environment and improving comfort. The main functions

ABSTRACT

It is important for every school and parents to have a trustworthy and secure transportation

service to ensure the safety of the students. This has become a major concern for parents now-

a-days due to accident ratio along with incidents such as many children find themselves

locked in a school bus in the bus parking lot after falling asleep on their way to school, miss

the bus, or leave at the wrong station. It is also required for school administration to effectively

manage their bus fleet, potentially reduce mishaps, and ensuring the safety and security of the

students. This is where vehicle monitoring, organizing and alerting system takes effect. The

proposed system in the project provides real time information about various parameters of

vehicle (i.e. location, the route, the list of passengers, the adherence of drivers to schedule and

much more) by using appropriate sensor and alarm system. In our system we make use of

RFID (MFRC522), to identify each student as they board or alight the vehicle by reading the

id from their RFID tags. GPS (NEO-6M) technologies, is used to find the current geographic

coordinates of the vehicle's location. In order to connect them to a remote server over Wi-Fi,

Arduino (ESP-01) microcontroller has been used, to upload the information from the

peripherals to a database in the web server. The system consists of three main units, bus unit,

parent unit, and school unit. The bus unit is used to detect when a child enters/exits from the

bus using RFID Card. In addition, it checks the reading of the sensors inside the bus. That

information is sent to the parent unit and school unit. Parents unit is an Android app that helps

parents to track their kids effectively by providing them with information about the kid and

the bus. The parents can also use the app to estimate the arriving time of the bus too. The

school administration can also access the application to ensure student safety and contact a

driver or a parent. The application also allows the administration to be informed of

emergencies. The overall system is integrated together through a common database based on

internet of things (IoT) technology.

ABSTRACT

Sewerage system is the infrastructure that conveys sewage. It encompasses components such

as a network of sanitary sewers, manholes and pumping stations. Sewerage ends at the entry to

a sewage treatment plant. In this senior design project, a sanitary sewerage system and

wastewater treatment plant has been designed for a fully developed residential area in Buraydah

City. Design of sanitary sewerage system includes estimation of population served and peak

flows to design the sanitary sewers. Velocities in all the sewers are equal or higher than the

self-cleansing velocity of 0.6m/s. Invert levels are calculated for upstream and downstream of

each sewer. Locations of lift stations have also been identified for the sewers deeper than 15

m. A complete hydraulic statement has been developed on Excel worksheet. Longitudinal

profile for the longest sewer is also developed. A disposal station is designed to discharge the

collected water into the wastewater treatment plant. A wastewater treatment plant has been

designed for the same residential area; the main part of designing is calculating the volume and

dimensions of the bar screen, grit chamber, primary clarifier tank, rotating biological contractor

ABSTRACT

Sustainable design of wastewater treatment plant plays an important role to the management

of wastewater. The main objective of the project is to design the wastewater treatment plant

for the Qassim University based on predicted population growth in 2030. The comprehensive

design was developed for the units of Grit Removal, Primary sedimentation tank, Rotating

Biological Contactor (RBC), Secondary sedimentation tank, Rapid sand filter and

Disinfection tank. A details design of plant hydraulics and piping with economic analysis

was performed. The plant design was considered as many sustainable and cost effective

concepts as possible, in order to keep construction and maintenance costs low. The calculated

volume of different treatment units for the year of 2030 were compared with the current

wastewater treatment plant and eventually noted down the important observations that have

resulted from the comparison. Our design calculation showed that the most of the existing

plant treatment units have to be extended around 1.5 times in 2030 to meet the wastewater

management in Qassim University. The results of this project may serve as a useful tool for

the management of wastewater for the Qassim University.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this Senior Design Project (SDP) is to design a suitable foundation system

for two buildings; residential and administrative. The objective includes ensuring that the

structural loads are transmitted to the subsoil safely, economically. In addition, preventing

any unacceptable movement during the construction period and throughout the anticipated

life of the building. The analysis and design were conducted by using some engineering

software; SAP2000 and AutoCAD. The work approach simply was exploring the project site,

analyzing the soil properties, and then designing columns & foundation system (isolated and

raft). Furthermore, this project illustrates a comparison between the two design alternatives

from an engineering and economic point of view. The design took into consideration the Saudi

Building Code (SBC) requirements and the necessary environmental and economic

constrains.

ABSTRACT

Water saving for different uses in Saudi Arabia is a critical issue. Wadi Al-Romah is the most

important Wadi in Qassim area, Saudi Arabia. It runs with its full capacity once every 33

years. During its running with full capacity, the amounts of water loss are highly significant.

In this project, the amount of water losses was calculated and found to be 11,938,761.6

m3/year. Accordingly, various parameter of the rehabilitation of Wadi were designed, using

state of art techniques. As the result of design two proposals of cross-section for Wadi Al-

Romah are provided considering the optimal saving of water. The first one, will save around

9.1 million m3 of water per year. The other one will save an amount of 10.98 million m3/year.

For augmentation of Wadi Al-Romah flow, recharge of groundwater via infiltration in the

downstream part of Wadi was estimated and found to be 208,77 m3/day. Three downstream

ponds, located at east south of Buraydah, were investigated. The area, depth, and volume of

these ponds were estimated. Volumes of these ponds are found to be not sufficient to

accommodate the volume of water flowing in Wadi Al-Romah as the result of rainfall. The

extra water beyond the capacity of these ponds usually causes floods in Buraydah the Capital

of Qassim. Hence the volume of these ponds must be increased to save Buraydah from floods.

Recharge wells also were proposed to help in this regards.

ABSTRACT

Cavitation is recognized to be one of the interesting phenomena that occur in the pumping

system. The purpose of this work is to design a test-rig for vibration diagnosis of pump

cavitation. To achieve this purpose, a centrifugal pump was selected with the appropriate

specifications that will enable the diagnosis of cavitation using vibration signals. The

selected pump has been modified by inserting a new driving unit with a speed controller. A

reversible engineering process has been conducted to design the shaft in order to check the

pump shaft capability to handle the new modification on the pumping system. The

measurements are conducted on a test setup equipped with two accelerometers and one

sensitive microphone to correlate their output signals with the emerged cavitation.

ABSTRACT

In recent year, the quadcopter has gained popularity in many fields. This is because of the

simplicity of mechanics that has been used in this kind of copter. It is very beneficial, but it

has some limitations. For example, the time of flying and the range that can reach it in flying.

So, this project will seek to address this problem of flying time and trying to extend this time

by designing a quadcopter that draws additional power from solar panels.

ABSTRACT

Erosion – corrosion (E-C) of metallic materials designates the material degradation where

mechanical wear by solid particles, liquid or the combination of both processes interacts with

corrosion caused by dissolution or surface oxidation. E-C phenomenon has caused many problems

resulting in a material loss and equipment failure. Therefore, the phenomenon received an

increasing attention from researchers all over the world. The main difficulty when trying to get

information about the E-C is the method by which the experiments can be performed. The objective

of this project is to design and fabricate a test rig for E-C experimentation. Jet impingement set up

had been designed and manufactured. All design procedures and manufacturing steps were

followed. Furthermore, the impact of the project on society, ethics, and environment were

considered. Finally, the cost estimation of the final product was done.

ABSTRACT

Exposure to high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) is known to cause serious respiratory

health problems, including asthma. PM is emitted during residential wood combustion and

incomplete combustion contributes to increase the concentrations of airborne particulates indoors.

In Saudi Arabia, a lot of homes have a room for burning wood called almushab. It is generally

occupied during the winter season and it might be considered the main emission sources of

particulate matter in Saudi homes. However, to the best of our knowledge, no efforts have been

made to assess the air quality in almushab rooms. Thus, in this senior project design, a typical

almushab room equipped with chimney chosen from a typical residential home in Buraydah is

used to conduct the investigation The results showed high mass concentration of PM,

particularly the mass in the smaller particles (<0.65 μm). Our findings demonstrate that air quality

in almushab room is poor and the concentration of airborne particles is elevated compared to the

standards set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, the data collected

from the pilot experiment were utilized to select the appropriate filters for the project. In the next

phase of our project, an air cleaner system will be designed and evaluated.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this Senior Design Project (SDP) is to design and implement a novel idea

in the area of air conditioning (AC). The aim of designing the new AC is to make it compact

and portable. There will be no refrigeration cycle embedded within our design, rather the use

of phase change materials (PCM) will be implemented. Water will be used as the phase-

change material since it is the most affordable type of PCMs. The AC will be used for a

period of 3 to 8 hours depending on several factors such as the mass of the PCM used, the

inlet air temperature, and the mass flow rate of inlet air. The AC is composed of the body

which is insulated, a fan, and the PCM. The air is moved by the fan, then the air exchange

heat with the ice and therefore the temperature drops and the ice melts after a certain period.

The AC is designed to be portable and to work within a small personal area.

ABSTRACT

The idea of the project was stemmed from “the need to catch an object when it enters the

reachable zone of the gripper and hold it for a while”. This idea was behind the control

strategy, which may be summarized as that the reachable space of the gripper is to be scanned

by a position sensor to detect if the object exists or not. Upon the existence of the object; the

controller signals the motor to move such that the gripper ends (jaws) clip the object, hold it

for a specific delay time then leave it. This delay time simulates as if the gripper was attached

to an arm and the arm is moving it to another destination. The control system is based on the

use of simple closed-loop control topology by programming an ARDUINO controller to

control the motion of the servo motor.

The conceptual design technique is utilized during the progress of this project. This includes

the use of Kepner-Tregoe Decision Analysis (KTDA) technique to select all components. The

project shows the dynamic analysis of the four joint mechanism. The project also contains the

steps of manufacturing a pre-gripper model by using the 3d-printer facilities. The

experimental tests conducted to test the system gave quit satisfactory results.

ABSTRACT

The electrical power system structure is operationally connected to many control areas

spreading over a large electrical area. This has made the controlling aspect of power system

a huge concern for all power engineers. Today’s life is dominantly reliant on the electrical

energy and the increasing power demand is to be balanced by the generation of power. The

automatic generation control (AGC) strategy is imperative in balancing the power in the

network and take care of frequency maintenance and tie-line flows. The conventional power

structure transforming into the market oriented model and splitting the entire single central

entity to different operational business modules. This deregulated and restructured power

system has separate module entities like generation transmission and distribution companies

and also the retail wheeling of power. However, this transition has posed many new technical

issues and challenges to the operation of deregulated power systems. Therefore, the existing

fundamental principles of operational and control philosophies are to be modified to handle

new power system environment.

In this proposed work, the conventional PID controllers and optimal controllers are to be

designed for AGC of interconnected power systems operating in deregulated environment.

The state space model of restructured power system shall be developed for AGC scheme

design and its implementation. The control scheme is to be designed based on the

conventional and optimal control theory concepts. The dynamic responses are to be

compared for both controller design techniques and stability analysis shall be done. The

MATLAB software and associated tools will be utilized to perform computation work and

the results so obtained may be investigated.

DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT MODEL FOR

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN QASSIM

[email protected] and [email protected]

ABSTRACT

Municipalities in Saudi Arabia are managing their municipal solid waste management

(MSWM) systems without a structured performance assessment mechanism. For reliable

operations, all the key components of a MSWM system need to perform efficiently. First

framework is developed for selecting performance indicators for seven key components,

including public service and participation, personnel, physical assets, operational,

environmental, sustainability, and financial. Interview surveys were conducted with decision-

makers from two municipalities and academia in the Qassim Region to evaluate the indicators

against their ‘relevance’, ‘measurability’ and ‘understandability’. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy

Process (F-AHP) and PROMETHEE II were used to select and rank 58 PIs. Subsequently, a

hierarchical modeling framework, based on deductive reasoning, is developed for

performance assessment of the key components. Fuzzy rule based modeling is performed

using Simulink-MATLAB for performance inferencing at different levels of the hierarchy.

The model efficiently handles the inherent uncertainties due to limited data and imprecise

knowledge base. Results can exclusively assist the managers working at different levels of

organizational hierarchy for effective decision-making. The model has been implemented on

two medium-sized municipalities operating in Qassim. The results demonstrate the model’s

pragmatism for continuous performance improvement of MSWM systems in the country and

possibly elsewhere.

DEVELOPMENT OF A RISK-BASED WATER SAFETY

MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR INTERMITTENT WATER SUPPLY

[email protected] and [email protected]

ABSTRACT

Water directorates in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are facing challenges related to both

the quantity and quality of water due to low annual rainfall, depleting water resources, and

presence of naturally occurring substances in groundwater. As a result, they are striving to

meet municipal water demand with adequate water quality through intermittent water supply.

Although, raw groundwater is being treated with expansive treatment processes, intermittent

water supply and in-house storage have led to various water quality problems at the consumer

end, such as possibility of bacterial contamination. In this research, a comprehensive risk-

based water safety management model will be developed to identify, analyse, and reduce the

water quality problems from source to the consumer tap. Root Cause Analysis will be

conducted to identify potential hazards in water source, treatment plant operations, treated

water storage, distribution networks, and the in-house plumbing system. Subsequently,

Fuzzy-Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (Fuzzy-FMEA) will be applied to assess and

prioritize different hazards. The model will be able to deal with different types of uncertainties

associated to the vagueness in expert opinion, data limitations, and inaccuracies in

measurements of water quality parameters. Based on the model results, the Water directorates

will be able to plan their available investments to minimize the hazards with highest risk

priorities. The model will be implemented on the water supply system in Unayzah to evaluate

its practicality for other water directorates in Qassim, other regions in KSA, and elsewhere in

the world.

ABSTRACT

In arid and semi-arid countries, it is required to identify alternative potential sources of water

and develop sustainable technologies for their recycling. A large amount of less contaminated

ablution greywater (AGW) is being produced at the mosques in all Muslim countries

including Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Therefore, AGW certainly possesses significant

potential for recycling. In this study, a simple and cost-effective sustainable ablution

greywater recycle system (SAGWRS) is proposed to collect, treat and recycle the AGW

within the periphery of a mosque for toilet flushing. A conceptual model for SAGWRS was

developed and evaluated through techno-economic analysis. The SAGWRS consists of a

AGW collection and storage system, low cost ceramic filtration unit, activated carbon

adsorption column, chlorine dispenser, and overhead tank to collect and distribute treated

AGW. The SAGWRS meets the water quality standards for toilet flushing as well as for

irrigation. A simple operation and maintenances procedure made the system sustainable and

cost effective. The estimated cost (0.7-1.0 US$/m3) of the SAGWRS was found to be

considerably less than the municipality water cost (1.71 US$/m3) in KSA. SAGWRS

proposed in this study would be a prospective recycling practice of AGW in KSA for

sustainable development. Based on the techno-economic analysis, the proposed system

provides a sustainable approach of water conservation by on-site recycling of AGW in

Muslims countries around the world.

ABSTRACT

Additive manufacturing technology (AMT) is playing a more impact in the current

manufacturing industries. In olden days, this technology was pronounced as rapid prototyping

technology (RPT) as it was used to fabricate the reduced scale models of some large size

projects (design of aircrafts, locomotives, space crafts, human anatomy etc…). However, this

AMT is being used to fabricated all kind of highly complicated parts now-a-days especially

this technology is a boon for the medical applications (implant parts/bones/tissues). Several

thermoplastics, some metallic materials, and some ceramic powders can be printed as a

product in a few processing steps, namely, design of parts using CAD software, conversion

of file, and fabrication of part using any 3D printing technology (fusion deposition modeling,

selective laser sintering, Stereo-lithography, and 3D plotting). Among the various AMTs,

fusion deposition modeling (FDM) is a simple process which is being used in the aircraft

parts, bioparts / artificial bones, tissues, decorative models, teaching aids etc…. FDM can

easily print all kind of thermoplastics in which poly lactic acid (PLA) is a common polymeric

materials as it is easily available, less expensive, lower melting point, non-toxic, and

biocompatibility. This review poster presentation was aimed to present the various steps

involved in the 3d printing technology, general principle involved in FDM process, review of

literature related to PLA parts obtained from FDM, and investigate the various process

parameters on the PLA components.

ABSTRACT

High Performance Concrete (HPC) is one of the most effective techniques in concrete

technology business. It has better quality than conventional concrete. However, the most

concerning problem of HPC is the high brittleness. Therefore, steel fibers are added to HPC

to investigate the reduction of the brittleness of the concrete upon becoming High

Performance Steel Fibers Concrete (HPSFC). The main purpose of this research is to

investigate the brittleness of the high performance concrete by including steel fibers in the

mix design. In addition, some of the tests are performed to evaluate the quality of the concrete.

Results show that increasing the percentage of fiber reduces the brittleness of the concrete,

as well as improving a number of other mechanical properties. Regression equations are

generated for design guidance.

Key Words: High Performance Concrete, steel fibers, mix design, brittleness.

ABSTRACT

Implants are very important in surgery applications and it is very difficult to replace the

injured/damaged human parts by another one (human donors). Day-by-day, the demand for

implants parts are increasing drastically due to accident/natural calamity. To save the human

life and improve their lives, it is necessary to manufacture the artificial implants which can

be fabricated through polymers, metals/alloys, and ceramics. These artificial implant parts

would help the life of the patients and enable them to continue their life probably. For such

applications, the materials used to make these devices must be chosen carefully. The current

work aims to provide an integrated idea about the implants materials used in medical

applications, examine the mechanical properties and various processing techniques.

Conventional techniques, namely, machining, metal forming, investment casting, CNC

machining etc.. Can be used to fabricate the implant parts. However, it will be very difficult

to maintain the dimensional accuracy in the complicated implants. Hence, the additive

manufacturing techniques can be used to resolve these issues.

ABSTRACT

The utilization of wind energy is very important and vital as all the experts have expected the

rapid exhaust of the conventional energy resources. One of the new trends is to generate

electrical power by using the clean and renewable wind power extracted by wind turbines.

Wind-turbine prime-mover has the problem of being of variable and unexpected speed these

mechanical power can be converted into electrical power by using electrical induction

generators. This raised the need to use the induction generators instead of the conventional

synchronous generators to solve the problem of variable speed turbines.

This research aims to maximize the power obtained from the wind energy, and to improve the

performance characteristics of the wind-driven induction generators. This will be done

through suggesting a simple method for controlling the cheap cage induction generator such

that wind turbine will trace the maximum extracted power locus at different wind speeds.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: The renewable wind energy encountering a globally rapid growth to become an

important electricity source, which replaces the polluting and exhaustible fossil fuel. The

induction generators are commonly used to transform the mechanical energy of the wind to

electrical energy. Various techniques have been employed to extract the topmost energy from

the wind streams. The present research aims at enhancing the performance of the self-excited

wind-driven cheap cage induction generators at the different wind speeds employing control

technique by altering the number of poles of the cage generator and adjusting the shunt

capacitor. The control aims to maximize the input power captured from the wind, and to

improve the generator electrical performance when the generator feeds static loads, and when

supplies dynamic induction motor load. A complete mathematical model and computer

simulation has been performed, and control protocols for the capacitor and poles have been

reached which governs the generator speed such that the wind turbine blades revolves at speed

which is optimally proportional to the wind stream speed. Consequently, the highest

mechanical power is being taken from the wind. At the same time, the built-up voltage is

adjusted around the load rated voltage for static loads. In case of dynamic induction motor

loads, the poles are fixed at the minimum number, and good performance is possible through

controlling the capacitor size. Study of the system through a developed simulating computer

program (MATLAP) or use of software program package if difficulties occurred during

programming the mathematical model of the system. Published an article in Indian Journal of

Science and Technology.

Supervised by: Associate Prof. Dr. Ahmed Abdelwahab

Date: 9th April. 2019 (392)

Abstract:Over the past several decades, digital information science has emerged to seek answers to the question: can any technique ensure tamper-

resistance and protect the copyright of digital contents by storing, transmitting and processing information encoded in systems where

digital content can easily be disseminated through communication channels? Today it is understood that the answer is yes. Digital

watermarking is a technology of embedding watermark with intellectual property rights into images, videos, audios, and other multimedia

data by a certain algorithm. The basic characteristics of digital watermark are imperceptibility, capacity, robustness, Low Complexity and

security of the hiding place. Moreover, the Classification of digital watermarking applications are Copyright Protection, Fingerprinting,

Copy Control, Content integrity, Broadcast Monitoring, Owner Identification and Medical Applications. The digital watermarking can be

embedded by a several domains. Every domain used in the embedding has weaknesses and features. The digital watermarking can be

implemented using several platforms. However, in this report it is implemented using MATLAB.

Objectives:

The main objective of digital marking is to make a mark that refer to ownership.

Make hiding information that have negligible effect on quality.

To make The digital watermarking standing ageist the attacks .

Description:In this project, the parameters can changes to achieve the ownership goals like block size, Wight of the embedding, threshold and

imperceptibility. There are tradeoff between these parameters. Therefore, to measure specific parameter, the other parameters must be constant

at the average. Then choose the best selection . After that use this selections of all parameters to get the optimum results .the figures as shown

below explains the effect of changes on every parameter.

Conclusion and recommendations:The suitable technique for the application copyright protection is digital watermarking technique. Watermarking has characteristics and criteria

which are robustness, Imperceptibility and others. Therefore, ownership have to concede all these criteria because they are related to each other.

The classification of digital watermarking applications like copyright protection, owner identification and others are discussed. MATLAB reads

grey images as a matrix with NxM size and every pixel in this matrix has 8-bits binary word. Moreover, the MATLAB can divide the image into

edge and shade blocks using block variance. Therefore, the total number of edge blocks is the capacity of the image. After that the secret massage

will embed into these blocks and use random permutation for selected edge blocks as a secret key. The embedding can be in several domains.

There is tradeoff between the characteristics of watermarking. Therefore, the characteristic’s changes must be thoughtful. The project needs

education interface for ease of use.

ABDULLAH MOHAMMED ALDUAYJI.ALI SULTAN ALSAMNAN.HAMOUD MELFI ALHARBI.

Supervised by: Prof . Ahmed Alaa

Date: 9th April, 2019 (392)Abstract

Induction motors are being widely used for various applications such as conveyor systems, blowers, fans, etc. The efficiency of these systems depends

on the performance of induction motor, which in turn depends on the starting and running performance of induction motor. The three phase induction

motor during the initial starting condition draws up much higher current than its capacity. This results in a mechanical jerk and thermal stress on the

windings of the motor. Sometimes, the windings may get burnt.

To solve this problem, many solutions have been provided to take over on this high current such as auto-transformer, star-delta and frequency converter.

This project is based on resolving this problem by giving a smooth start to the induction motor using the SCR (triacs) which is triggered at larger

delayed firing angle during starting, and then gradually reducing the delay till it reaches zero voltage triggering. This results in low voltage during start

and then gradually increase to full voltage. Thus the motor starts slowly and then slowly picks up to full speed. The control of starting voltage is done

by using micro-controller (Arduino).

Key Words: Induction motor, motor current control, SCR triggering, Starting current, phase angle control

Objectives and Motivations

Design a 3‐phase AC voltage controller power circuit.

Design a phase angle control for THYRISTORS firing.

Design a current sensing circuit.

Design a closed loop controller for motor starting.

Hardware prototype system Implementation.

Design process/Approach and steps Build up Firing angle unit for each phase.

Implementing and design current sensing circuit.

Varying control voltage to adjust required firing angle.

Description

The sudden change in flux at instant of starting an induction motor while there is no current before switching and no EMF to oppose it .This result in heavy starting current exist ‘inrush current’ which is around 5 times rated current. So there is persistent need to decrease it to normal value. That can be done be triggering Triacs by large firing angle at starting moment then reduced it in steps until motor reaches rated speed.

Advantages Higher efficiency.

Protect motor from damages.

Automated control

Environment friendly and community helpful.

Microcontroller (Arduino)

Successfully controlled starting current and reduce it from 5 to 2 times rated current

Deal with Arduino and its functions which is very important to save time, effort and money.

Treated with connections of different circuits (electronics &power) which was helpful to do the project in perfect way.

Recommend to add features like showing measurements on an LCD.

Recommend to having wide uses control of a motor.

SYSTEM

Abdulaziz Al-SuhaibaniAbdullah AlmogbelAbdullah Aldahami

Supervised by: Dr. Ahsan Rahman

Date: 9th April. 2019 (392)Abstract :Due to hot weather or parking cars without shades (especially in summers) makes inside of the car too hot which in turn makes it unbearable

and difficult for not only passengers to sit but also for driver and also for electronics of the car. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system,

which can ventilate the hot air in the car. Consequently, this project will develop a low cost system to vent the air. This project will adopt

airflow management technology to improve the local temperature distributions in an automobile to counteract the greenhouse effect. Thus,

goal of the project is to reduce automobile's temperature by throwing the hot air outside before the driver or passenger gets into the vehicle .

The five main functions of product will be to provide coolness, deodorization, demister, protect the car electric appliance, and health.

Objectives and Motivation:

• Design and implement simple

Vehicle Air Ventilation System.

• Study and design of input sources.

• Save the life of the children.

• Decrease the fuel consumption.

• Reduces heat damage to health.

Description:

For a parked car in an open area, solar radiation will heat the equipment inside the car. As a result, the driver

needs to run the air conditioning before starting to drive. This will increase the fuel consumption of the

vehicle because of the use of the AC at its maximum consumption. Moreover, this will effect the health of the

body because of breathing the toxic gas and also it will damage the electronics. So, to solve these problems

we designed a system that will help to reduce the temperature inside the car.

Conclusion and Recommendations:

• The ventilator can reduce temperature up to 8 C . This investigation proved that, the solar car

ventilator can provide a comfort level reaches to 18% of reduced temperature inside a car.

• comfort for passengers on their initial entrance to the vehicle

• reduction of temperature inside the car compartment will reduce the energy consumption of the

AC system.

Date: 9th April. 2019 (392)Abstract

Growing concern for environmental issues poses significant chance to the utilization of distributed renewable energy resources in power system. The

intermittent nature of renewable energy, however, put power system at risk. Microgrid is introduced as an efficient strategy to integrate renewable energy

resources safely from various locations within the distribution network. Distributed energy storages are considered as a vital component of reliable cost-

efficient microgrid. Distributed energy storages applications in microgrid include but not limited to energy arbitrage, reliability improvement, resiliency

enhancement, and ancillary services. To ensure an acceptable economic and technical performance, distributed energy storage must be optimally sized and

placed. This project investigates the concept of microgrid and discusses the impact of integrating distributed energy storage on the microgrid operation.

Moreover, a battery energy storage design model that can be used to determine the optimal size of the installed battery energy storage is developed.

Project Objectives

• To define microgrid and investigate its benefits to power system.

• To study energy storage types and applications.

• To study the battery energy storage applications in microgrid.

• To develop a design model for battery energy storage.

• To determine the optimal design for the installed battery energy storage.

Fig.1. Proposed model.

Motivation

• The battery energy storage (BES) is an essential component for

microgrid operation and control [1]. However, the high investment cost

of BES limits its installation in the power system.

• Finding the optimal size of BES, which is related to its investment cost,

will ensure reliable and efficient installation of BES.

Description

In this project, BES design model is developed that enables microgrid

planners to determine the optimal size (i.e., power rating in kW and energy

rating in kWh) of the installed BES in their system. Mixed Integer Linear

Programming (MILP) is implemented to formulate the developed model.

Design and Implementation of Photovoltaic –Thermoelectric(PVTE) Dual Axis(DA) Tracking System

WALEED ABDUALRAHMAN ALTUWAYJIRIMOHAMMED SALAH ALHIGRES

Supervised by: Prof.Arvind Tiwari

Date: 9th April, 2019 (392)Abstract

This project describes the design and implementation of an energy efficient solar tracking system from a normal mechanical single axis to a

hybrid dual axis. For optimizing the solar tracking mechanism electromechanical systems were evolved through the implementation of different

evolutional algorithms and methodologies. To present the tracker, a hybrid dual-axis solar tracking system is designed, built, and tested based on

both the solar map and light sensor based continuous tracking mechanism. These light sensors also compare the dark and cloudy and sunny

conditions assisting daily tracking. The designed tracker can track sun’s apparent position at different months and seasons; thereby the electrical

controlling device requires a real-time clock device for guiding the tracking system in seeking the solar position for the seasonal motion. So the

combination of both of these tracking mechanisms made the designed tracker a hybrid one. The power gain and system power consumption are

compared with a static and continuous dual axis solar tracking system. It is found that power gain of hybrid dual axis solar tracking system is

almost equal to continuous dual axis solar tracking system, whereas the power saved in system operation by the hybrid tracker is 44.44% compared

to the continuous tracking system. Photovoltaic (PV) systems being one of the primary tools to convert solar energy into electrical energy also have

inherent losses which lead to lesser electrical output and less efficient system. In recent years researchers have introduced thermoelectric modules

with PV so as to improve the efficiency of the PV and electrical output of the system. Various researchers have designed, developed and compared

different PV system by either increasing the input energy by means of incorporating lenses and mirrors or by reducing losses by incorporating

collectors into the PV system. In this project, we will design the PVTE system incorporating dual axis(DA) sun tracking system to enhance the

electrical output and hence obtain better efficiency from the system.

Objectives and MotivationsThe objectives of this senior design project (SDP) are:

i) To design and implement a dual axis tracking using a controller.

ii) To increase the efficiency of the panel by using thermoelectric(TE).

iii)To Increase the irradiation on the panel by using the tracking system.

.Advantages• More efficiency.

• More irradiation on PV panel.

• More output power.

Conclusion

We decided to work on hybrid photovoltaic thermal systems (HPVT) to increase theefficacy and cool of the PV, we chose this method because it has better performance in termsof energy, life cycle assessment and being economical to the PV only systems in a standaloneconfiguration. From all the (HPVT) methods we chose to work on the thermoelectric coolers(TEC) have more promising waste heat recovering feature and the output is entirely electricalin nature, which could be used directly for enormous application and thus makes the systemmore economical in terms of energy production. We chose our design based on the easiness ofimplement, the elements should be at suitable prices and it should be flexible. In all thetracking system available dual-axis tracking system increases the output power by 25-40%.Hence, we intend to compare the performance of our hybrid (PV – TE) dual axis trackingsystems performance with a single axis and fixed frame PV-TE system.

CONSIDERING GENERATION RATECONSTRAINTSNader Ali Alarfaj

Ibrahim Sulaiman AlsallalSaleh Mohammed Alsaleem

Supervised by: Prof. Ibraheem Nasiruddin

Date: 9th April, 2019 (392)AbstractOver the last few decades, enormous changes have been witnessed in power system structure and therefore, their operational and control problems became very

complex and difficult. Operating a power system in interconnected fashion has aggravated the complexity further. To provide good quality of electricity to

consumers, an effective and reliable control schemes are required to regulate the system frequency and voltage levels to their nominal values following the load

disturbance in the system. The present SDP aims to design PID structured controllers to regulate the frequency of a two-area interconnected power system

consisting of reheat thermal turbines in the wake of step load disturbance in the system. As generation rate constraint(GRC) is generally imposed in real time

power system operation on generators, the effect of GRC on system dynamic performance is incorporated in the study. From the investigations of the system

dynamic plots obtained for step load disturbance in one of the areas, it is revealed that the designed regulators/controllers are very effective to mitigate the

deviations caused due to disturbance. Moreover, it is shown that incorporation of GRC has resulted in the deterioration in system dynamic performance which

needs the design of advanced controllers to handle the system dynamics effectively.

ObjectivesThe main objectives of this senior design project (SDP) are:

i) To develop linearized model of the system without generation rate constraints on electric power generators.

ii) To develop non-linear power system model of the system incorporating generation rate constraints on electric power generators

iii) To design PID structured load frequency controllers for both power system models developed in (i) &(ii)..

iv) To implement the developed PID structured load frequency controllers in the wake of different load disturbance conditions and to investigate the dynamic

system performance.

v) To demonstrate the effect/effectiveness of designed structured load frequency controllers.

ConclusionsThe investigations carried out from the dynamic response plots obtained with the implementation of designed regulators in the wake of step load disturbancein the system. These are shown above in Figs. 2-6. From the investigations of these dynamic response plots, it is inferred that frequency regulators designedusing Z-N tuned approach are very effective in eliminating the steady state error in responses and settling the deviations caused by load disturbance in fewseconds to zero. offer much better system dynamic response as compared to that offered when controller gains are obtained using trial and error approach interms of least overshoot and settling time. However, the presence of GRC has resulted in the deterioration in system dynamic performance which needs thedesign of advanced controllers to handle the system dynamics effectively.

DescriptionsThe PID controllers are designed for the load frequency control of a two-area interconnected power system consisting of reheat thermal plants. The two areasare interconnected by means of AC transmission line. First the transfer function model of the system is developed considering the generation rateconstraints(GRC) on generators. Following this the PID gains of frequency controller are obtained using Z-N technique. The designed frequency regulator havebeen implemented to control the generation so that it matches the varying load demand while keeping the frequency and tie-line interchanges at their schedulevalues even in the presence of GRC. Because the interconnected power system consists of identical areas, the dynamic response plots are obtained fordisturbance in area-1. The system dynamic response plots for ∆F1, ∆Pg1, ∆Ptie, ACE1, ∆Xg1 considering 1% load disturbance in area-1 are obtained with variousdesigned frequency regulators using SIMULINK Toolbox.

In last few decades, electric power demand is increasing at a very fast pace and the power industry has witnessed many structural and technological

changes. The stability of power system has become more difficult these days as consumption of electrical power fluctuates randomly. Due to limited

resources of power generation, the transmission lines getting heavily loaded and facing the various important issues like; stability, voltage sag, and

reactive power. The FACTS technology is essentially proved in tackling these issues and able to alleviate them efficiently. Flexible alternating –

current transmission systems (FACTs) devices usually install power electronic devices at the appropriate places of the existing AC systems to enhance

controllability and increase power transfer capability. In this project, the various reactive power compensation techniques based on FACTS devices

like thyristor controlled phase shifter (TCPS), static var compensators (SVC) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) are considered for

design and implementing the voltage control schemes in the power system network using Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) via the link with

MATLAB. Simulation models are developed for IEEE 6 bus system with and without FACTS devices.

Key Words: FACTs, Reactive Power, Voltage Control, SVC, SSSC, TCPS .

Objectives and Motivations

The objectives of this senior design project (SDP) are:i) Voltages at the terminals of all equipment’s of the system should be

within acceptable limits.ii) System stability is enhanced to maximize the utilization of the

transmission network.iii)The reactive power flow is minimized to reduce I2R and I2X losses

to a practical minimum.iv) The voltage may be controlled and maintained by proper designing

and implementation of FACTs devices at the vulnerable load buses.

Conclusion:

The design and implementation of different voltage control methods based

on FACTS devices have been carried out in details. The production and

absorption of reactive power by various sources also presented in this

project report. The importance of the maintenance of voltages at different

locations in the power system network has been elaborated in the report and

Supervised by: Dr.Abdelraheim Emad

Date: 9th April. 2019 (392)

AbstractAn industrial robot arm usually ends with an end-effector. A common task of an industrial robot arm is to pickup certain object, hold it at a desiredconfiguration and move it between specific locations. The process of picking up and holding is the main task of a gripper.Many QEC-SDPs dealt with the subject of speculation of the design and implementation of a robot arm or robot cell. This project, however, may beconsidered as the foresight for the design, manufacturing and implementation of a mechanical gripper in QEC. The proposed gripper-model consists oftwo mating four joint mechanisms that can catch (pick up) and hold objects. The gripper is driven by single servo-motor and gear system. The idea of theproject was stemmed from “the need to catch an object when it enters the target zone of the gripper and hold it for a while”. This idea was behind thecontrol strategy, which may be summarized as that the target area of the gripper is to be scanned by a position sensor to detect if the object exists or not.Upon the existence of the object; the controller signals the motor to move such that the gripper ends (jaws) clip the object, hold it for a specific delaytime then leave it. This delay time simulates as if the gripper was attached to an arm and the arm is moving it to another destination. The control systemis based on the use of simple closed-loop control topology by programming an ARDUINO controller to control the motion of the servo motor.The conceptual design technique is utilized during the progress of this project. This includes the use of Kepner-Tregoe Decision Analysis (KTDA) techniqueto select all components. The project shows the dynamic analysis of the four joint mechanism. The project also contains the steps of manufacturing a pre-

gripper model by using the 3d-printer facilities. The experimental tests conducted to test the system gave quit satisfactory results.

Objectives and Motivations:

• Conceptual design application

• Design a system to move double mechanisms to pickup an object.

• Apply gained knowledge from ME340-ME467-EE318- GE211 to automate the operation of the designed system.

• 3D printing

• Implementation, assembly and running experiments.

Description:

The gripper system consists of single servo motor, Position sensor, two 4-joint mechanisms, each of which provides single degree of freedom, and Arduino chip. The misc. parts are: bolts, screws, base and wires.

Conclusions and Recommendations:

• Mechanical gripper model system was designed and implemented successfully

• The system need to more research to make its response more accurate.

• Using control topology to control closed loop for the current model.

DESIGN OF AN EXPERIMANTAL SETUP FOR VIBRATION

MEASURMENT DUE TO PUMP CAVITATION

Abstract

Cavitation is recognized to be one of the interesting phenomena that occur in the pumping

system. The purpose of this work is to design a test-rig for vibration diagnosis of pump

cavitation. To achieve this purpose, a centrifugal pump was selected with the appropriate

specifications that will enable the diagnosis of cavitation using vibration signals. The

selected pump has been modified by inserting a new driving unit with a speed controller.

A reversible engineering process has been conducted to design the shaft in order to

check the pump shaft capability to handle the new modification on the pumping system.

The measurements are conducted on a test setup equipped with two accelerometers and

one sensitive microphone to correlate their output signals with the emerged cavitation.

Description

The overall pumping system setup which consists of a centrifugal pump with transparent

plastic cover, induction motor, elastic coupling, deep groove bearing, VFD, pressure

gauges, a tank with the capacity of 20 liters, accelerometer sensors, and manual valves

Conclusion

The test rig is designed to be used in education and research purposes. During

the design process, the minimum requirements to achieve the test-rig objective

are defined. Although the good correlation between the velocity spectrum of

vibrations and the sound spectrum of the generated cavitation, some irrelevant

reverberated frequencies of cavitation bubbles smeared the sound spectrum.

Abstract

Erosion – corrosion (E-C) of metallic materials designates the material degradation where mechanical wear by solid particles, liquid or the

combination of both processes interacts with corrosion caused by dissolution or surface oxidation. E-C phenomenon has caused many problems

resulting in a material loss and equipment failure. Therefore, the phenomenon received an increasing attention from researchers all over the world. The

main difficulty when trying to get information about the E-C is the method by which the experiments can be performed. The objective of this project is to

design and fabricate a test rig for E-C experimentation. Jet impingement set up had been designed and manufactured. All design procedures and

manufacturing steps were followed. Furthermore, the impact of the project on society, ethics, and environment were considered. Finally, the cost

estimation of the final product was done.

Objectives and Motivations

• Design and fabrication of test rig to generate Erosion - corrosion in the laboratory domain.

• Experimentally study of Erosion-corrosion effects on different materials.

• Study the effect of different parameters (time, velocity, concentration and impact angle) on erosion corrosion resistance.

• Calculate Erosion-Corrosion rate through weight loss.

Description

Erosion-Corrosion test rig (apparatus) consists of a tank contains a mixture (slurry) of water and solid particles (silica sand). A mechanical stirrer

is used to guarantee the homogeneity of the slurry. A pump is utilized to raise the slurry to attack the tested sample with various velocities. The

main idea is to prepare the homogenous slurry of water with specific concentrations of solid particles inside the tank then pumping this mixture to a

nozzle to impact the sample which is set in specific adjustable angles. The design allows the slurry to circulate continuously during the experiment.

The velocity can be measured by a flow meter supplied to the apparatus. The weight loss of samples is calculated as an indication of erosion corrosion

rate.

Design of a Solar/Battery Powered Quadcopter

Ahmad Nawaf AlharbiIbrahim Alhassan Mohammed Nasser Alsubaie

Supervised by: Associate Dr. Saad Mukras

Date: 8th April. 2018-2019 (392)

AbstractIn recent years, the quadcopter has gained popularity in many fields. This is because of the simplicity of mechanics thathas been used in this kind of copter. It is very beneficial, but it has some limitations. For example, the time of flying andthe range that can reach it in flying. So, this project will seek to address this problem of flying time and trying to extendthis time by designing a quadcopter that draws additional power from solar panels environmental reasons.

Objectives and Motivations• Design the appropriate structure that fit with placing the solar cells that would extend the range of a quadcopter. • Construct the quadcopter with a suitable frame.

DescriptionQuadcopter is very popular nowadays; and it is good in a number of applications. For example, it used in filmingmovies, military field, surveillance, search and rescue, construction inspections and several other applications. It ishowever limited in the ranges of the flying time. It is consuming a lot of power, and thus the battery can not stay for longtime. In this project, we are laying the groundwork for the design of a quadcopter where the flying time range is extendedusing solar energy. The aluminum metal chosen for this structure, because it is light in weight and strong. We did thecalculations of stresses and deflection to see if the metal can carry the loads of motors and the other components. We endwith relations of deflection with height and width. These relations helped in choosing the appropriate size of thestructure.

Conclusion and recommendation• The design of structure should be in way that allow more solar cells to place on it. • The material of the structure and the solar system should be light in weight, to reduce the power consumption as

possible as can. • The solar system should be efficient, to get the maximum power with less weight. • The stress calculations should be done correctly, it is better to use ANSYS software to inform your calculations and see

where is the maximum stress.

PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM USING PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS

Ahmad AlodahSufyan Alqurban

Supervised by: Dr. Ahmed M. Alshwairekh

Date: 9th April. 2018-2019 (392)Abstract

The objective of this Senior Design Project (SDP) is to design and implement a novel idea in the area of air conditioning (AC). The aim of designing thenew AC is to make it compact and portable. There will be no refrigeration cycle embedded within our design, rather the use of phase change materials(PCM) will be implemented. Water will be used as the phase-change material since it is the most affordable type of PCMs. The AC will be used for aperiod of 3 to 8 hours depending on several factors such as the mass of the PCM used, the inlet air temperature, and the mass flow rate of inlet air. TheAC is composed of the body which is insulated, a fan, and the PCM. The air is moved by the fan, then the air exchange heat with the ice and thereforethe temperature drops and the ice melts after a certain period. The AC is designed to be portable and to work within a small personal area.

Objectives And Motivation

The motivation for this project is the kind of weather we have in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In the summer season, The air temperature under direct sun light may reach to 50℃ easily. This kind of extreme temperature affect the performance and the daily functions of personal working outside. The use of regular air conditioners will not be practical because of the large size and the use of electricity. Hence, the idea of portable air conditioners are born.

Objectives:

1. Design a portable AC2. Reduce the air temperature3. Reduce the use of PCM

Description

The portable AC consists of three main parts, 1- the body of the AC. 2- the fan. 3- the PCM or the ice. The body of the AC should be thermally insulated to avoid any heat loss to the surroundings and to prolong the life cycle of the PCM. The fan is used to move the air from the surrounding environment to the inside of the AC body. As the air is moved inside, the air will exchange heat with the ice. Therefore, the temperature of the air will reduce. There are several factors that affect the reduction of the air temperature such as the mass flow rate of the air, the temperature of the inlet air, the mass of the ice contained in the body of the AC, and the arrangement of the ice inside the container. Also, the exit opening of the air can have several orientations and design, we have chosen a simple round tube to act as the outlet of the AC. The fan has a potentiometer attached to it so that the speed is variable. In the analysis of the AC, several factors can be studied. However, the most important factor are been considered such as 1- The speed of the inlet air. And 2- The mass of the PCM or ice. It is desired to have a small compact AC. Therefore, the mass of the PCM is an important factor to be considered. So, the mass of ice was changed from 1 kg to 5 kg with an increment of 1kg. Also, the speed of the inlet air was varied three times. The exit air temperature was monitored with time. The ultimate aim is to have the exit air temperature as low as possible for the longest period of time with the lowest possible amount of ice.

Results

Conclusion and Recommendations

In our design, the ice was placed in the bottom of the AC container. Therefore, the air was not having a perfect contact with the ice. Therefore, the arrangement of the ice is an important factor to be considered. It is recommended that the ice be raised over the bottom and the container should be divided so that the air can have a longer time in the AC. The longer the air is in the container, the more the temperature drop we have. However, this deign will give rise to a higher pressure drop, therefore, the velocity of the air should be increased to overcome the increased pressure drop from the different arrangement of the ice.

The exit air temperature was monitored over time for several cases. Sample cases are presented below.

For StudentsDevelopment of a Cooling Water System for Residential Roof Tanks

Abdullah Mohammed MalherbeAbdualmalik Abdulaziz AlbelaihyMohanned Mohammed Alotaibi

Supervised by: Dr. Mohammed Bentrcia

Date: 9th April. 2018-2019 (392)

Abstract

In this Senior Design Project (SDP) it is aimed to develop and test a cooling water system for residential roof tanks. Firstly a short review of storage

tanks is presented. Then the new types of tanks introduced are described. After that the elaboration of the cooling water system is performed. The system

consists of a 4-layer poleythelyne tank painted with a special insulating layers. For testing the new system, a second similar and regular tank is used.

The two tanks are filled with water and exposed to the sun temperature measurement. Measuring is each two hours starting at 7a.m.Unfortunately the

weather is still relatively cold for testing. However we expect to have good results and we just wait for the ambient temperature to increase for testing.

Motivations and Objectives

storage of potable water is needed for most of world population. Overhead water tanks are used to solve this crisis but their exposure to sun radiation

during hot days increases water temperature to the extent that it becomes unsupportable for bathing and washing. Therefore it is very important to develop

a cheaper cooling storage tank that keeps the water temperature within the acceptable range.

System description

Water Storage tanks have been significantly developed.

They are changed from stone-belt type, passing by

concrete and metallic type to reach the actual well treated

plastic type [1, 2 ] as shown in the figure 1.

Figure 1 water storage tank evolution

Eminent aspects of the developed cooling system

The developed cooling tank is made from a 4-layer Polyethylene Water Tank which has good insulation aspect, painted with extra insulating layers (prepared from a mixture of calcium carbonate and white glue ). This double insulation in addition to the light weight , affordable cost, easy installation, anti- corrosion, .. Form the distinguished features of the new cooling system.Concerning the system testing for keeping water cooler than ordinary tanks , the new system and another similar regular tank are filled with water in order to expose them on the college roof to solar radiation. Then water temperature will be measured at the same time in both tanks each two hours . Unfortunately the weather is still not enough hot to conduct the experience but we expect considerable difference between the temperatures of water in the two tanks. The two tanks are shown in fig.2

Conclusion and recommendationsthe project cost is not high and it is very essential for keepingwater cool in the hot Gulf summer season . Also the project shouldcontinue when the summer becomes very hot in order to assessthe new system.

Date: 9th April. 2019Abstract

Sewerage system is the infrastructure that collects, treats, and safely dispose the wastewater generated from residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Its main

components consist of a network of sanitary sewers, manholes, pumping stations, and wastewater treatment facilities. In this senior design project, a sanitary

sewerage system and wastewater treatment plant has been designed for a fully developed residential area in Buraydah City. Design of sanitary sewerage system

includes estimation of population served and peak sewage flows to design the sanitary sewers. Velocities in the sewers are equal or higher than the self-cleansing

velocity of 0.6m/s. Invert levels are calculated for upstream and downstream of each sewer. Locations of lift stations are identified for the sewers deeper than 15 m.

A complete hydraulic statement has been developed on Excel worksheet. Longitudinal profile for the longest sewer is also developed. Final disposal station is

designed to discharge the collected water into the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The components designed for WWTP consist of bar screen, grit chamber,

primary clarifier, rotating biological contractors (RBC), secondary clarifier, sand filter, and chlorination unit. The treated wastewater can be recycled for agriculture

purposes.

Key Words: Sanitary Sewer, Sewerage System Design, Self-cleansing Velocity, Invert Level, WWTP

Objectives and MotivationsThe objectives of this senior design project (SDP) are:

1. Estimation of design flow for sanitary sewerage systems.

2. Hydraulic design of sanitary sewerage system

3. Design of wastewater treatment plant for a residential area in the city of

Buraydah.

The motivation of our Senior Design Project (SDP) was to design a sanitary

sewerage system and wastewater treatment plant for safe disposal of

obnoxious wastewater. The treated wastewater recycled for agricultural

applications follows the sustainability objectives of Vision 2030 of Saudi Arabia.

Conclusions • A sanitary sewerage system for a residential area (1,600,000 m𝟐) located at the North of Buraydah was

designed. Sanitary sewage system consisted of 285 sewers, 284 manholes, and a final pump station.

• Due to rolling topography, the depth of trenches were found to be deeper than 15m at certain locations. To

avoid extra cost for deeper trenches, 3 lift station have been proposed.

• 96 drop manhole were provided at the manholes where the difference between invert levels of sewers was

found to be more than 0.6m.

• WWTP consisting of four main treatment phases preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary treatment levels

sufficiently meets the required standards for recycling of wastewater fro agricultural applications.
