On Feb. 18th, 2025, the Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering Department has conducted the:
The workshop covered SDGs (7, 9, 11, and 13) and included five sessions as bellow:
MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF SOLAR PANEL CHARACTERISTICS By Dr. Chalang H. Rasheed
“The solar photovoltaic panel is an ECO-friendly process for producing clean energy, aligning with the goals of Sustainable Global Development Goal #7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). In control system design, thermal solar photovoltaic (PV/T) modelling entails developing mathematical models of the behavior of this process, with an emphasis on their thermal characteristics. The MATLAB/Simulink environment is utilized to obtain this identification. Then, applying this model to develop control schemes that maximize their efficiency contributes to promoting clean energy solutions.”
IRAQ’S ACTION PLAN TOWARDS ZERO ROUTINE FLARING BY 2030 By Mr. Brosk Frya Ali
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global initiative aimed at addressing key environmental, social, and economic challenges. Among these, Climate Action by focuses on combating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Gas flaring, a major contributor to carbon emissions, poses a significant environmental challenge, particularly in oil-producing nations like Iraq. Recognizing this challenge, Iraq has committed to the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative. The country’s action plan includes policies to enhance gas capture and utilization technologies, investments in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects, and transitioning towards renewable energy.
USING SUSTAINABLE POLYMERS IN DEVELOPING SMART INFRASTRUCTURE By Mrs. Dlven Kareem Mawlud
Sustainable polymers are eco-friendly materials made from renewable resources or those that can be easily recycled. They include bio-based polymers derived from plants or microorganisms, as well as biodegradable polymers. These polymers offer an alternative to conventional plastics, which rely on fossil fuels. By being recyclable or biodegradable, sustainable polymers help reduce environmental pollution and waste. They are increasingly used in industries like packaging, automotive, and construction to promote a circular economy.
Direct Air Capture: A Critical Technology for Mitigating Climate Change By Mrs. Hawzheen A. Ibrahim
Direct Air Capture (DAC), a process that removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere. DAC systems use chemical reactions to capture CO₂ and can either store it underground or repurpose it for commercial applications, such as in the production of synthetic fuels or in agricultural processes. As global emissions continue to rise, DAC presents a promising strategy to mitigate the effects of climate change by actively lowering atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. The continued research, development, and scaling of DAC technologies are thus critical for the realization of SDG 13’s climate action targets.
NANO FLUIDS THERMAL APPLICATIONS – By Dr. Lizan Mahmood Khorsheed
Nanofluids are transforming the future while advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Energy Efficiency: Nanofluids enhance heat transfer in power plants and renewable energy systems, reducing energy consumption.
Sustainable Industry: They improve industrial efficiency, reducing waste and supporting eco-friendly manufacturing.
Sustainable Cities: In smart infrastructure, nanofluids enable energy-efficient cooling, helping create greener, more resilient cities.
Climate Action: By optimizing heat exchange, nanofluids reduce emissions and help fight climate change.
“Nanofluids are not just advancing technology, they are powering a smarter, greener, and more sustainable future.”
